Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (4)
  1. $12.8 million spent. Saint Joe's Intermediate Care Facility (ICF/IID) provides 24/7/365 care for 48 children and adults who have complex medical needs and significant support needs. For these individuals, Saint Joe's truly is home. It is the only agency of its kind in Hamilton County. As a subset of the ICF, in 2014, SJH began providing Ventilator Services at the request of the Ohio Dept. of Developmental Disabilities. Currently, 16 of the 48 people served in the ICF are ventilator dependent and 3 of 6 group living units, 2 for children and 1 for adults, referred to as cottages, are staffed and equipped to serve people on ventilators. The 2 for children comprise 1 of only 5 in Ohio outside of a hospital. Residents enjoy a quality of life that includes: swimming in the on-site therapy pool, summer camp, live music and concerts, family and holiday events, art activities, as well as the support needed for residents to actively participate in the broader community through outings based on their interests. Saint Joe's school-age residents attend school off-campus through local schools, if able, while adult residents participate in our Adult Day Programs on weekdays.
  2. $2.0 million spent. Saint Joe's operates 3 Community Homes, in Sharonville, in College Hill and in Loveland. They each provide support to 4 individuals who do not have the intense medical needs of those living in our ICF, but still need full time support in fully adapted buildings. Residents receive the support needed to belong to and fully participate in their community. Saint Joe's has purchased land in College Hill to begin building our fourth Community Home in 2026.
  3. $1.7 million spent. Saint Joe's operates 2 Adult Day Programs, 1 in Blue Ash with on-site programming and 1 in Sharonville that is focused on community engagement activities. Each site can serve 40 individuals. Day Program participants are provided the support needed to engage in experiences and provide contributions to the community based on each participant's own interests and goals. This year, we added a youth Summer Camp to our Day Program activities. At Saint Joe's, summer is a time for young people (who will soon be transitioning out of the school system to life after school) to explore, create, and connect. Our Summer Camps bring joy, learning, and community to children, teens, and adults with developmental disabilities. Each program offers safe, engaging, and memorable experiences that blend creativity, skill-building, and connection within a caring, inclusive environment.
  4. $2.2 million spent. The Harold C. Schott Respite Center provides a much-needed break for families caring for someone with a disability at home. Think of us as a highly-equipped hotel. Our short-term-stay model allows families to travel for work or vacation, run typical errands, reconnect and rest while we take care of supporting their loved one. Nurses and DSPs staff the designated Respite Center 24/7. Alice's House is a community respite program in conjunction with SJH and Hamilton County for emergency and planned respite of individuals with developmental disabilities who typically have no other alternative for temporary housing and care.
