These centers provide intensive in-patient psychiatric treatment for
children with normal mentality who are seriously emotionally ill.
Richards, opened in 1958, is for short term care, not over a year;
Finesinger, opened in 1961, is for children requiring up to three years
of care. Children are admitted up to their fourteenth birth date. There
were 59 children in residence on June 30, 1963, capacity at the present

The budget for Rosewood is predicated upon a population of 2480
for the fiscal year 1963 and 2385 for 1964.
