In 1968, a five section building was erected replacing the original Gustavus Adolphus Home. The design of the new building was described as an "open resident facility". The Gustavus Adolphus Children's Home is a residential treatment facility for emotionally disturbed youth between the ages of 12 and 17. On-site institutional care maintains up to 42 residential beds. Up to 18 youth live in one of three boarding homes in the area. A group home licensed for 7, also helps to provide the youth with a family based atomosphere. A Supervised Independent Living home is available for 2 additional youth.
