Assessment Center &
Emergency Shelter

 

The Assessment Center offers a short-term placement while more permanent plans are being made to help each child. A child coming into the Assessment Center will receive a thorough evaluation of his medical and dental needs, his psychological condition, his educational status, and his family situation. A team made up of his social worker, our professional staff, and, if appropriate, his family, will review each child's needs and determine the most effective way of meeting them.

If the child's needs can be met in one of the programs of The Children's Home of Lubbock--basic care, therapeutic care, or foster care--and if there is an available space in our program--the child may be placed at the Home. If there are no vacancies, or if the child needs a more intensive care program than we can provide, we will work with the team to help find an appropriate placement.
