A “residential child care facility (RCCF)" shall provide 24-hour residential group (congregate) care and treatment for five or more children/youth up to 18 years old. A residential child care facility is operated under private, public, or nonprofit sponsorship.

Please see additional requirements for youth approaching the age of 17 or youth with delinquencies:
