There is food always being donated or families making so much to share. The staff here are helpful, friendly and care so much. The Reese and Santos family want to Thank all involved for making this place available to family's in need.

Jennifer Dempsey: The Hope House was an amazing place to find comfort and solace while our daughter was in the NICU fighting for her life. It truly felt like a home away from home.

Harry Lofland: They truly help people.

Clacey Vanderford: They do such wonderful things here!

James smith: Angels live here...

miranda riggs: Abuse is rampant from staff and teachers at the academy. Staff encourages kids to fight one another in the live-in units. The place should be shut down and criminal charges brought against them. My child never got any of the therapies that they said she would receive and came out traumatized.

Edvina Salihovic: Yikes the reviews are all just telling people beware & to not go here. This place has worse reviews than Allen County Jail.... God bless the unfortunate children who suffer in this facility.

Michigan fan (go blue): I was there for around 3 weeks back in the 90s till the state transferd me to gibualt boys school and I was the happiest kids in the world that they did it I wouldn't send my worst enemy to crossroads it was literally hell there then I went to gibualt and it was night and day how the to places where run even though I was 9 hours away from my house I was glad to be there

Diane: As good as a residential child adolescent center can be I suppose. Deal with staff turn over so that it can get confusing when it feels like you're teaching them the rules. There are instances that an adversarial relationship is created instead of a mutually beneficial relationship for the child among the adults. I have found the lack of addressing certain situations with therapy and keeping information from the parent / guardian not in the best interest of my child, but in the best interest of covering their butt.

Tommy King: I was in this place for 19 hours. I was supposed to go for months but when i got there i was greeted by a prison/psychward style setting. The only place to eat is metal stools bolted into the ground and tables bolted in as well. The "couch" was several plastic chairs filled with sand to weigh it down. The bedroom layout included a large rubber box with a gymnasium mat on top of it. 4 feet away is a plastic stepstool bolted into rhe ground next to a so called desk witch was the same night stand used in most psychwards. Everything was low and the only way to look out the slanted window sill was by standing on the step stool they tell you to use as a chair. Your clothes are kept in a cubby next to everyone elses stuff similar to a grade school. Their were kids who had been living there for months. This is no environment for a child. Most kids were young and some with disabilities. Kids could freely hit and fight with other kids. At night i saw a 11 year old kid get screamed and cursed at while they destroyed his things then locked the door. When my parents demanded to see my room she imediatly picked me up. The food was horrendous as well and contained little nutritional value. Please do not send your children here. They will suffer and learn nothing. Places like this deserve to be outlawed

Gram Cracker (Gram cracker): This place is the worst! Thank god my grandson is out of there. He was physically assaulted several times by other kids and nothing was done about it, he ran away from there several times and told anyone who would listen including the police that he was being mistreated there. Most of his belongings were stolen (a few stained up shirts that didn't even belong to him were in the bag though). Horrible place and hopefully someone will look into how this facility is run.

Katelynn C: I was a child placed at crossroads after my foster family that had me for 2 months felt like I was troubled youth. 75% of the staff that worked there when I was there in 2007ish were very helpful and empathetic. The other 25% not so much. My personal experience there has given me PTSD. Staff are very underpaid for the amount of work that the majority do. The beneficial staff were the staff on the unit and the staff hired as teachers. Anyone else did there job so poorly. This place is definitely run like a low staffed juvenile hall.

Terrance Cassell: Protecting children

Joann Phillips: Great place to work for, doing whatever it takes ,to help children that are in need.

Stef Fuller: Great facility, best residential treatment facility I've seen in Indiana.

Breanna Jones: Crossroad helped me when I was there

Alex Arnett: i was in crossroad for 3 1/2 years and though I had close relationships with some staff , i did not get the help I needed.

keithen lockett: They are adding additions its under construction

Ashley Dingman: I was there for almost 3 years and they helped me and that all they did i mean i had my ups and down but i kept trying to get better

Beautiful African princezz: Good staff

Michael Lianez: They do their best for very difficult situations.

John Gates: I lived there in 1969-70. It was then the fort wayne chrildrens home. I had nothing but good memories and positive things to say...not sure what it has become, we had houseparents at the time watching over us...great people worked there!

linda r broadnax: Great place for kids.

Garry Maldonado: Just driving by I saw the sign in the front. Is there a reason why your guys sign looks like a swastika ? I am hoping this was not thought through very well when it was made. Let's just hope anyway, this really should be removed with different logo though. This place should be investigated just based on there sign...

Lynn XX: .“ emotional help “ no one “ none of the staff .” Help these children. They treat the kids there like there nothing. They take there stuff and though it away. It’s 2018 ok. Kids have problems. But if you say you’re gonna be there to help them. Then tell me why they never helped a kid when they where crying ? They told the child they needed to get there act together. They would insult the child and be very unprofessional. Why did they keep the kids in the classroom while someone was Throwing Desk ? Yes, there are kids there that get mad and destroy the classroom as your child was still in the room and Rarely they would take the class out of the room.Who is gonna get in trouble? The staff takes advantages of the kids. They say there staff in nice but the staff takes there personal ideams. They will hit the kids. Put them in a corner and yell in there face. Crossroads is Supposed to be a place that your kid can look back at and be like "Crossroad changed my life." But no. Crossroad If you wanna help these kids give them something hard to do in class. Try to keep the kids safer, tell your staff that there not all high and mighty because I know that a list of staff have been hurt ( physically ) by the kids there. But the staff fight back and will hurt the kids as well. This facility is supposed to help the kid with there problems with family, life, or the actions. I bet if you were to send everyone of those kids home they would either be the same way they came to crossroad or be worse. The kids fight and staff doesn't stop it. They curse and yell. There are no rules being followed.I say that this is the saddest place I have seen that says " A safe place for your child to get to know them shelf and help them shelf." Like ya'll don't even care about the kids. Don't send your child there.Please respond to this.

kathy grant: Awesome Christian home for children.Takes NO state funding! Donations from those that know and believe in their mission. Praise GOD for such a place!!!

Brandon Bower: Great place

Roger Jones: Great place for children to grow up at

Daniel Schmidt: Did some volunteering here and the place is huge for the kids. Many things for them to do and many buildings there to accommodate what they all need. Great, clean place!

Paula Meek: Great residential home for children!! Gives them Christian love, support and a feel of family. No government support, it all comes from community and area churches. Been available for children for over 30 years.

Deaf Beauty: The only place I know of that has good hearted people not looking for government handouts, but accept donations while providing great care to children in need. These people are amazing and deserve so much for all they do!

Chase Rollins: Awesome organization

Neil Sowards: I was very excited to learn about the Fort Wayne ID card which CC was offering for $25.00. I was under the impression that one could use this card to open a bank account at Flagstar Bank. But that is not the case. You need an ITin number or a social security number to open the account. Therefore the Ft. Wayne ID card is not relevant for those wanting to open a bank account. Too bad. Something is needed to allow people to open accounts. They do look nice, and you can use them to get a library card.

Victoria Duke: Good stuff but overly priced

Cindy Greider: I took my Granddaughter there. They were very nice

Doris Martinez: Excelente atención

Isabel Castillo: Muy amables

Claudia Macias: I used Teresa from Catholic charities for a document translation from English to Spanish. Teresa did great work as always, with a reasonable price to match. I had a great experience.

Peter Martina: I'll know better tomorrow because I'll be going to work partime tomorrow.

Mr Tony Mahasena: This good for every peaple need help.

Jeniva Harms: They are very nice people, and they help with utilities when they have the financial funding.

Christian Rivera: Felt ripped off. So I went to get 2 pages translated and was quoted $20 for that. Then $5 for a certification. I come back and they charge me $15 more because it was apparently 3 pages and a certification. I was handed over 2 pages translated and one certification. It's not right.

Jose Gonzalez: Great place they help with a lot of paperwork or other things

Lauren Widmann: Awesome place lot's to look at and even more upstairs, the only thing I agree with other's is the prices do seem a bit to high for a charity store.

Javier Guerrero: They don't solvente and mater, it is a waist of time

D “Just another reviewer” S: I was interviewed for an office job at Lutheran Social Services four or five years' ago and when one of the interviewers thought I wasn't looking, he proceeded to shake his head and make the "cut-throat" gesture to his fellow coworker (another interviewer). Tacky and rude. He could have at least waited until I left the interview room.

GreenEyes Gemini: The woman promptly hung up on me when I told her about my situation, my child & I are almost on the streets.

Charles Sizemore: I had the pleasure to meet Lily that works in the church office which I painted a picture for, I also got some much needed repairs done thank all of you.
