Tar River Care Center

Tar River is a demonstration project for infants and children up to age 15 and is run cooperatively with East Carolina University's School of Pediatric Medicine. To be eligible, a child must meet ICF/MR requirements and must be approved individually by the NC Division of Medical Assistance. Each child who is admitted has an individualized plan of care developed that includes written goals and intervention that address social, emotional, physical, and cognitive needs. The goal is to stabilize the child medically, train the parent/ guardian to care for the child and, whenever possible, to return him/her to the community either to the home or to a therapeutic foster care setting- with provider support.

Magnolia Place provides quality, residential services for up to 38 selected students of the Eastern Regional Vocational Rehabilitation facility while they are working on certification in one of 10 areas of skills training that include: auto mechanics, welding, child care, food services, certified nursing assistant, commercial printing, environmental services, carpentry, brick masonry, and landscape and design. While undertaking one of these areas of study, our job is to focus on development and improvement of daily living skills. Our counselors help "guests" of the program to develop skills in money management, health and hygiene, sex education, social skills, home management, confidence building, recreational therapy, and much more. Each guest helps an assigned counselor to develop a "specialized plan" for attaining needed skills to live successfully and independently in their home communities.
