Youth Placement Services and Group Home Care, Hartman Home in Maumee, OH
When a young person needs placement, the goal should be much bigger than simply finding a bed. They need safety, consistency, structure, and caring adults who know how to help them build real-life skills in a setting that feels stable and human. At the Hartman Home in Maumee, we provide youth placement services in Ohio through a therapeutic, family-style model that helps youth grow, regulate, and move toward a stronger future. As part of The Ohio Teaching-Family Association, we work closely with county and state agency partners to provide a home-like environment grounded in evidence-based care, accountability, and meaningful daily progress.
The Hartman Group Home staff are trained in professional techniques to provide compassionate and quality care to youth. The staff have each been trained in therapeutic practices for Trauma Intensive Care. They teach social skills, independent living skills, provide academic supports and facilitate relationship building with the youth’s family and friends.
Trauma-Informed Youth Care That Teaches Real Skills
At the heart of our work is trauma-informed youth care. Many young people entering placement have experienced instability, loss, conflict, or other disruptions that affect how they respond to adults, rules, emotions, and relationships. We do not treat those realities as background noise. We build our care around them.
Using the Teaching-Family Model, our staff teaches practical social, emotional, and independent living skills through daily positive interactions. That includes:
- emotional regulation training
- social skill development
- problem-solving practice
- accountability and routine
- life skills support
- academic encouragement
This approach helps youth learn not just what behavior is expected, but how to succeed in meeting those expectations in real time. That is one reason therapeutic family-style care in Maumee, OH can be so effective for long-term change.
Why County and State Referral Partners Choose Us
Youth referred for residential placement are often navigating behavioral, emotional, or transitional challenges that require more than supervision alone. They need a setting where treatment is active, skill-building is constant, and progress is measured in ways that matter. That is why our program is built to support county and state agency referrals in Ohio with a balance of warmth, structure, and professional accountability.
We are proud to be:
- DCY licensed
- Teaching-Family Model certified
- a trusted partner for county and state agencies
Our licensed professionals and trained care providers understand how to work with youth who need trauma-informed support, emotional regulation coaching, and a stable environment that encourages growth without adding unnecessary stigma.
A Family-Style Setting
With a Therapeutic Purpose
What makes the Hartman Home group home different is the environment itself. We are intentionally built around the Teaching-Family Model, which moves away from cold, institutional care and instead creates a structured, supportive home where youth can learn through everyday life. That means meals, routines, chores, conversations, and problem-solving all become part of treatment, not separate from it.
Our mission has always been to provide the least restrictive, most home-like therapeutic environment for high-risk children. We believe youth do better when they feel seen, respected, and guided by adults who are consistent in both expectations and support. That family-style structure helps reduce stress, build trust, and create space for real change.
Our Youth Placement Services
We provide specialized residential support for youth referred through Ohio county and state systems. Our services include:
- 24/7 therapeutic residential group home care
- Teaching-Family Model behavioral intervention
- individualized care and treatment planning
- life skills development and academic support
- trauma-informed emotional regulation training
- comprehensive discharge and transition planning
Each placement is built around the individual youth, their needs, and the goals identified with the referring agency. We understand that no two placements are exactly alike, and our care planning reflects that.
How We Handle the Placement Process
We work hard to make the referral and placement process clear,
collaborative, and dependable for agency partners.
Referral and Intake
We coordinate closely with county and state agencies to review each case, discuss fit, and make sure the placement aligns with the youth’s needs and treatment goals.
Welcoming and Assessment
Once admitted, the youth is welcomed into the Hartman Home and provided with a comprehensive behavioral and emotional assessment to guide treatment planning.
Individualized Skill Building
Through the Teaching-Family Model, our team teaches essential social and life skills through everyday routines, relationships, and positive corrective feedback.
Progress Monitoring
We provide regular updates, documentation, and data-informed insight to the referring agency so case managers stay informed and supported.
Reintegration and Transition
Our work includes planning for successful discharge, whether that means reunification, another family setting, or a more independent next step.
A Safe, Reassuring Alternative to Institutional Care
Many traditional placements feel highly institutional, and that can make youth feel even more disconnected from the kind of life they are supposed to be working toward. Our program is different by design. The Hartman Home looks, feels, and operates like a family home, which helps lower stress and normalize the treatment experience.
That home-like atmosphere is paired with strong professional oversight, evidence-based intervention, and staff who live or work closely on-site to maintain consistency. This combination gives youth the emotional safety of a home environment while still providing the structure and treatment support agencies expect.
