Services for Children
Overview
We use a multi-generational approach focused on both the child and their family. Read more about our Crisis Nursery approach.
Providence House provides emergency shelter and crisis care to children newborn through twelve-years-old for up to 90 days. We are licensed by the Ohio Department of Children and Families to operate 24/7 and serve up to 20 children at a time on our West Campus in Ohio City, and at our East Campus in Buckeye-Shaker.
Each child receives their own bed or crib and personal storage areas and a nutritious diet of three meals a day and two healthy snacks.
At Providence House, children find safety and comfort in a home-like setting. They stay with us from 24 hours up to 90 days until they are safely reunited with their own family or admitted to other long-term care settings. During their stay, children receive free shelter, basic personal necessities, medical care, developmental and educational enrichment, and—most significantly—unconditional love.
We provide emergency shelter and loving care and meet essential needs for children newborn through twelve-years-old in a safe, licensed, home-like environment.
