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. We are licensed by the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services to operate 24/7 and serve up to 30 children at a time on our West Campus in Ohio City.
At Providence House, children find safety and comfort in a home-like setting. Children stay with us from 24 hours up to 60 days (with extensions of up to 90 days available) 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 immediate protection and basic needs for children newborn through twelve-years-old in a safe, home-like environment.
