A quick definition of residential care:

Residential care is when children or teenagers live in a group home or institution instead of with their own family. This usually happens when they have been in trouble with the law or have other problems that make it difficult for them to live at home. It's a type of foster care that provides a safe and supportive environment for young people who need extra help and guidance.

A more thorough explanation:

Residential care is a type of foster care where children or adolescents live in a group home or institution. This type of care is usually used for young people who have been found to be delinquent or status offenders.

For example, a teenager who has been in trouble with the law may be placed in residential care instead of being sent to juvenile detention. They would live in a group home with other young people who are also in residential care.

Another example is a child who has been removed from their home due to abuse or neglect. They may be placed in a residential care facility where they can receive the care and support they need.

These examples illustrate how residential care provides a safe and structured environment for young people who may not be able to live with their families. It allows them to receive the care and support they need while also providing them with a sense of community and belonging.
