Questions about our web portal?
The Buckeye Ranch Foster Care is a network of hundreds of foster homes located in 14 counties throughout Ohio. Our program is comprised of professional staff and foster parents who are committed to the well-being of foster youth and their families. Our program provides care for children from infancy through 18 years of age and sometimes beyond.
Our professional staff provides support to the youth, their family, and foster caregivers throughout the youth’s stay in foster care. The Buckeye Ranch’s large continuum of care extends from supportive respite services to crisis stabilization. We have a full staff of professionals who provide licensing, case management, and training to our network of foster families.
We need loving, nurturing, and therapeutic families who will help these children during their time of need.
Central Ohio
Foster care is a service that provides a safe, secure, and treatment-oriented living arrangement for youth in the custody of child protective services. The purpose of the service is to allow the family and the youth the needed time to learn new skills, get treatment, or remove other obstacles that keep them from living safely together in the community.
We are a large agency with numerous resources, yet have the feel of a smaller agency where you know the staff by name.
