Attendant Care
Cowley County Youth Services is one of the few Judicial Districts that still has an attendant care facility. The facility is licensed by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and inspected annually by KDHE, Cowley County Health Department and the Winfield Fire Department. Attendant care is a non secure facility and consists of a day room and two bedrooms. It provides short-term care with one-on-one direct supervision of juveniles between the ages of 10 and 18 who have been taken into police custody as either an alleged juvenile offender or child in need of care. The attendant care facility is primarily used for youth that do not meet the criteria for detention, but that can not immediately return home.
