11 Residential Treatment Facilities When a child is identified has having a significant mental health challenge with multiple hospitalizations and the child can not be maintained in a community or home based setting, residential treatment may be more appropriate. Referrals should be sent to the regional field office for review by the (PACC) Pre- Admission Certification Committee. The PACC determines whether RTF level of care is appropriate for the child. The coordinator notifies the referral source about the PACC decision and, if accepted, the child and care giver should tour the residential program PACC coordinator: Cathy Moran NYS OMH 330 Fifth Ave. NYNY The RTF level of care is considered a short term residential intervention, not a placement.
