Saint Joseph's Children's Home

Due to concerns regarding COVID-19, we have implemented the following measures:
We are temporarily placing a hold on admissions as we want to limit our potential exposure and possible staff shortage due to COVID-19. We will continue to take referral calls and evaluate youth for appropriateness but we are temporarily delaying admission. We are meeting daily to monitor the situation of our ability to safely supervise the youth in our care and we will re-evaluate weekly our ability to accept new youth.
We are limiting access to our campus to staff and youth only. We are encouraging contact between youth, families, and caseworkers to occur through tele-health and phone. We are also limiting home visits; these will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. We have cancelled large gatherings on our campus. We are going to continue to provide educational services for our youth as staffing allows. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us via phone at 307-532-4197.
