Overview

Mission

Saint Joe's provides care that combines professional expertise with the warmth of human kindness, serving infants, children, and adults with developmental disabilities.

What it reported doing in 2024

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.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 87% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some related-organization disclosures are missing.
