LARIMAR HOMES
705-253-7343
We provide a system of specialized therapeutic foster homes, offering from one to four co-ed beds for children 5-18 years of age. Each home will serve a child or group of children with similar needs such as age, developmental needs, interests, risks, mental health, and behavioral needs. By having a number of specialized therapeutic foster homes we believe we are able to better match the needs of the individual children with the resources and dynamics of each home and the people that live there. This way placement decisions are based on successfully matching the child for long-term care planning.
