Faith, Hope & Charity’s residential facility is a licensed 32-bed ICF/MR (Intermediate Care Facility/Mental Retardation) located in Storm Lake, Iowa. Our purpose is to work with families by providing a nurturing and learning environment for the child who would benefit from our residential services. Our facility features four individual homes designed with children in mind. Each home, Faith, Hope, Charity and Love, consists of four bedrooms, a living room, large eat-in kitchen, two large bathrooms, office, medical room, and a fenced in backyard.

A total of eight children live in each of the four homes, with two children in each bedroom. The bedrooms are divided with a large bookcase/dresser unit to provide each child with privacy and a place for their favorite things. The eight children living in each home vary in ages and abilities.

The homes are accessed through a large multipurpose room, which serves as an indoor playground for the children we serve. The multipurpose room (MPR) is a favorite hang out for many of the children we serve. With a variety of activities and play areas to choose from, the children can spend an entire afternoon playing to their hearts delight. There is an indoor swing, ball pit, piano, large climbing blocks, tricycles, mini merry-go-round, dress up clothes, disco ball, wagons, and many other toys to provide for a day of fun.

Up the hall from the MPR is the other half of the residential facility. In this area, we have administration offices, the nursing office, meeting room, family lounge, kitchen, laundry facilities, maintenance office, staff lounge and restrooms.

When making the toughest decision you will ever make, you need to know your child will be safe, loved and will continue to develop to the best of their ability. At Faith, Hope & Charity you will find all of this and more. The staffs are REAL people who try to relate family with placement.
