Caithkin Treatment Foster Homes is the fulfillment of a dream matched with the skills and talents to bring that dream into reality, and a shared fundamental belief that every child has a right to feel safe in their home environment.
Drawing from the shared heritage of the founding members "Caithkin" a Gaelic word that describes a "safe haven on a hill" was born.
The "Caithkin Family" is committed to supporting each child's individuality, meeting their needs, and providing a safe and nurturing home. As a team of "parent therapists" and community resources, we strive for continuity, permanency planning and community integration to assist each child to be the "best" they can be.
Caithkin Treatment Foster Homes operates from Wasaga Beach, Ontario in the Georgian Triangle. Ainslie Tomlinson serves as the Executive and Clinical Director and Leslie Listro is Director of Administration. Caithkin Treatment Foster Homes is a treatment community built as a network of family-based homes. Situated in both rural and urban areas in the south-central region of Ontario, Canada, Caithkin has received its license from the Ontario Ministry of Community, Family and Children’s Services to serve a co-ed population of emotionally troubled children and youth ranging in age from infancy to eighteen years. Caithkin homes are currently available in the Georgian Triangle, Durham and Peel regions. Caithkin Treatment Foster Homes’ program philosophy and approach to treatment is based on the simple foundation of respect. Respect for each child as an individual; respect for the struggles of the natural families of that child; as well as respect for the treatment families and staff who respond to that child and respect for the Agencies whose children have been entrusted to us for care.
At Caithkin Treatment Foster Homes, we believe that a cooperative/collaborative approach to the treatment process will offer the best opportunity for significant gains and positive results for all our residents.
Providing children with an opportunity to be
"The best they can be!"
