SERVING WITH AND LICENSED MINISTERING TO EDUCABLE AND
BY THE STATE OF COLORADO TRAINABLE RETARDED CHILDREN
April 19, 1978
Weld County Commissioners:
The administration and board of directors of the Midwest Children's
Home is requesting that commissioners investigate the possibility of •
providing funding through Community Development Act money for renovation
of the Midwest facility.
Located on Highway 119, three miles east of Longmont, Midwest is a
residential facility for moderately to severely mentally handicapped
children, aged 6-17 and older.
A non—profit organization, Midwest is licensed for 15 children
through the State of Colorado Social Service Agencies and funded
through the social service agencies of each county with residents
here.
The children attend Ruth Woods School in Boulder, for trainable and
educable mentally handicapped children„ The focus of Midwest's program
is providing training in social skills, physical development, speech
development, self—help and self—management skills; with recreation and
community experiences provided throughout the year.
The facility was originally built as a school house and converted,
in the late 1940s, to an orphanage. In 1970, provision of residential
and training services for mentally handicapped children became the goals
of Midwest;
•
The renovation proposed for Midwest would remedy some of the existing
conditions which are hazardous to the safety and well—being of the
children.
The electrical wiring is one of the most potentially dangerous
conditions.
In February, one of the residentYs beds cut through conduit on a
bedroom wall, shorting out the wires and resulting in a fire which
burned the mattress on the bed and scorched the wall before it was
extinguished.
rortunately, the fire occurred during the day, when the children
were in different parts of the building. Had it occurred at night
the child occupying that bad may have been badly burned.
The conduit in that area was rerouted closer to the ceiling,
solving that particular problem. However, it is likely that
similarly dangerous conditions exist in the wiring elsewhere in the
building.
The facility is equipped with a smoke and fire alarm system, but
the second floor fire escapes are in poor condition and inadequate.

Although the water pipes appear to be in good condition, based on a
preliminary assessment by Bill Rodriquez of the Weld County Planning
Department, the Midwest plumbing system needs "spot" work to repair
specific problems, such as broken showers and leaking toilets.
The water capacity at the home, supplied by two water heaters, is
insufficient.
If two showers are used at the same time when preparing the children
for bed, it is difficult to control the water temperature. The children
have been surprised, variously, by sudden bursts of extremely hot or cold
water. • '
The building is"poorly insulated, resulting in costly energy loss
and drafty rooms. Particularly during the colder months, sleep-in
technicians often find children sleeping over or near the floor
registers.
Part of the insulation project would include replacement of windows.
Most of the windows in the building are easily opened and the latches on
them frequently broken by the children.
On several occasions, technicians have discovered children on the
roof or preparing to climb out second floor windows.
All of the doors in the building need to be replaced. Most of them
either have holes punched in them or have occasionally been torn off their
hinges. There are also holes in some of the interior walls.
Floor tiles in the kitchen, dining room and bathrooms are coming up
and need to be replaced.
A very small room on the first floor is utilized as a time-out room
for disciplinary purposes. The walls, floor and door should be padded,
minimizing the risk of the children injuring themselves. The children
often urinate in that room and their urine seeps through the floor of
the room to the dining room ceiling. Steps need to be taken to eliminate
that problem;
Additional renovation would include installation of dividers in the
children's bedrooms, providing each child with his or her private space,
and improvements to the entryway of the facility lessening the institutional
quality of the home.
The renovation sought by Midwest would result in upgrading the
facility for more efficient, energy conserving operation; eliminate
potentially hazardous conditions and provide a more appropriate
living and training environment for the children.
