The daughter is restricted from communicating with other than members of her old household until she has progressed far enough in the program.
The family can visit their daughter one time per months and during some activities. The daughter can also go on home visits 4 times per year, if she has progressed far enough in the program.

December 2009 a staff member was charged based on allegations of sexual activity with two girls from the facility [4]. April 2009 he pleaded guilty to these charges [5]
