Where We Serve
At D.A. Blodgett St. John’s, they provide counseling, foster care, adoption, mentoring, and residential care. Each service is different, but all share a common thread – life-changing love.
Across the community, we advocate, teach, mentor, protect, provide, and prove every kid has incredible potential, even when the world has told them otherwise.
They provide more than 20 services, impact 9,000 lives every year, and work tirelessly to ensure all children and families have the love, support, and resources they need to thrive – today and into the future!
Residential treatment provides a safe and loving place for children who have experienced child abuse or neglect. Kids with troubled pasts need structure and our Residential treatment program offer kids consistency, caring adults they can trust and individuals who can help them heal.
St. John’s Home offers residential treatment in an open program setting. We treat young people with emotional, behavioral and psychiatric problems, building on kids’ strengths and guiding them toward higher levels of functioning. The goal of treatment is to enable children to maintain stable relationships in a family setting.
St. John’s Home is located on a beautiful 25-acre campus in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Children live in eight-bedroom residential homes. Each home has a comfortable living area with floor-to-ceiling windows, an open kitchen, dining area, and a large recreation room. Outside, kids use our sidewalks for biking and skating and playing on our basketball court and large ball field.
