Bluestone Child & Adolescent Psychiatric Hospital

What Bluestone Child & Adolescent Psychiatric Hospital does

Bluestone Child & Adolescent Psychiatric Hospital is a 12-bed, purpose-built acute inpatient psychiatric facility located at 2575 S. Belvoir Blvd., University Heights, Ohio. It provides short-term crisis stabilization, assessment, and treatment for children and adolescents ages 6–17 experiencing acute psychiatric emergencies—including suicidal ideation, self-harm, psychosis, and unsafe behaviors—as well as dually diagnosed youth and those with autism spectrum disorder. The 14,000 sq ft facility is specifically engineered for youth safety, featuring anti-ligature hardware, tamper-resistant fixtures, two de-escalation suites, sophisticated egress control, and elopement prevention systems. Clinically it is staffed by Board Certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists, Registered Nurses, Social Workers, Therapists, Speech and Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, and Special Education Teachers.

The hospital operates on a fee-for-service revenue model built around inpatient per diem billing ($3,200/day list price) plus CPT-coded evaluation, management, and psychotherapy services. Pricing is publicly disclosed via a Standard Services Price Guide, and a Financial Assistance Program provides sliding-scale discounts (20–80%) for patients between 100–200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines and free care at or below 100%. Admissions are handled 24/7 via direct phone intake (216.200.5030) and email ([email protected]), with referral channels including the Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services, University Hospitals Rainbow Babies and Children, and MetroHealth System.

Bluestone is an affiliate of Wingspan Care Group, leveraging the parent's decades of behavioral health operational experience and downstream step-down/wraparound service network. The facility addresses a structural deficit in Ohio, where youth psychiatric hospitalizations have risen 42% over 20 years while pediatric psychiatric bed supply has fallen ~38%; Bluestone's opening increased pediatric psychiatric beds in Cuyahoga County by approximately 50%. Reported outcomes include a 96% step-down rate to less intensive services, 97% parent/guardian satisfaction, and a 92% discharge success rate.

Broad incumbents

Regional players

It is comparable as a local pediatric care provider with the capacity and capital to expand or build competitive youth inpatient psychiatric capacity.
