Care
Arndt House
 Outside Arndt House |
A residential care facility catering for 12-16yr olds. We can cater for
five young people at any one time.
Arndt House is a safe, drug free home where young people can gain the
support they need to overcome the difficulties they are facing. At Arndt
House they learn discipline, personal development skills and communication
skills which enable them to move forward.
Our house Parents create a loving safe but disciplined environment
for the youth.
They have duties and responsibilities and will learn
to work in a co-operative home environment. Personal counselling
is available for each young person and an individual ‘Destiny Plan’
is
developed for their time at Arndt House. Each young person’s need
is individually assessed by the management team to ensure best
outcomes.
Parents also are encouraged to be involved and are supported through
times of breakdown in relationship with the young person.
The ultimate purpose of the program is to reunite individuals and families
and equip them for a successful future.
All young people in Arndt House must attend an educational facility during
the day. The Tauranga Youth Academy offers a fully supervised alternative
education program for all those who are not attending other schools or
courses. Stays can be overnight in an emergency or several weeks or months
depending on the need.
For longer stays a family conference with CYFS is necessary to put a
strategic long-term plan in place. For short stays parents can simply
refer their child to the manager of Arndt House. For referral and contact
information see link.
Discipline in the House is paramount for the safety of all and a young
person will receive additional tasks and curfews for consistent non-co-operation.
In serious cases where the welfare of others is jeopardised procedures
are put in place for the young person to be removed from the House.
We have referrals from Parents, CYFS, Justice, Health and Schools.
