St. Joseph Home of Cincinnati

I am a college student and I rent an apartment with one other person, pay my car payment, food, electric, etc, and I go to school. I am able to finally balance my work and school while being able to pay my bills while working at this job (and even working out! Lol.) I’ve worked at many different jobs and I’m finally happy at St. Joseph Home. At first, I didn’t know if I would be happy, but now I feel like my life has meaning. I get to take care of so many amazing residents who would not be able to survive without our help. The job has a good amount of physical labor, but was an aspect I was looking for in my job so that I could become active and healthier. At this point, it feels more like I’m taking care of family rather than working. I highly reccommend working here. Anyone who has a problem with management probably has a problem working with themselves, or with following policy.

responsible for 8 to 16 residential clients with direct care staff of 2 to 3 staff for every 8 clients. Gained skills working with trachs, g/j tubes, and seizure clients.  Management was greatly motivated to provide quality care and environment for residents and overall very effective.  I enjoyed my co- workers very much. was a very positive work environment and for the most part everyone worked together as a team.  The hardest part of the job was working meds in around scheduled special outings or events.  The most enjoyable part of the job was the interaction with the clients and the fact that they truly take first priority at this facility.  Can't say enough good things... great place to work and live. :)

The Residents will steal your heart. 
The company sadly is another story. There is no accountability which has created a environment of bullies. Employees are miserable and burnt out from being so short staffed. The management plays favorites and those that are favorites do what they want. There is no teamwork, you are on your own. Good workers aren’t valued. If you bring a concern up about a employee and they are talked to, the employee will retaliate and nothing will be done. It is good money but money isn’t everything, Nothing will change until they make changes in management and hold employees accountable. 

Unfortunately upper management does not seem to care about their residents. The administration functions by ego and taking pictures with the residents when they are rarely on the floor themselves. They are tied to their desks when you ask for help. Staff is overworked and underpaid. Environment is disorganized. They keep employees who have hurt residents staffed. It feels immoral to work here some days.

But most coworkers (on the floor) are great and good to each other . A lot of love going to these residents. 

The pay is okay, weekly is nice though.

They do work with your schedule.

Benefits are offered.


I was super excited when I was offered a position here. I quickly learned that new people weren't welcome and it's all about who likes you. Management is clique-ish and if one of them doesn't like you, none of them do. People will then do whatever to throw you under the bus and make you look bad. Working overtime is almost required, even if you don't get paid for it. The turnover rate is crazy there. The resident's are amazing and I miss them, but the people who are in any sort of management position or position of authority need training on how to be an effective leader.

I have a long history with St Joseph Home. I recently began working here and love it. St Joseph is a great place to be. The compassion and dedication Here is better than most environments I have worked.  Management  is working on supporting DSPs, addressing family concerns enhance the culture.

SJH is a compassionate community and they value your opinions. Your strenghts and your talents are respected and valued. It is a safe environment where you can build a bond of trust. It is a place where you can develop your strengths. They strive in community, gentle presence, servant leadership and heritage. They foster genuine relationships.

A typical day at work would be drama-filled. Some of the co-workers there were genuine, but some were not. Most of the co-workers there gossiped about everyone including the residents. The hardest part of the job was lifting the residents. The most enjoyable part was spending time with the residents in the common area and assisting them with their daily goals. I learned how to to be more selfless by dealing with these kind of residents, and how also I learned to value life and my independence a whole lot more.

I would rather eat a bag of dog poo than work here anymore. The management is the worst around, ranging from the highest in charge to the various middle men that are all on power trips. Communication is nonexistent and all blame is placed back on the under appreciated and minimally paid Direct Care Staff. They ask too much from and pay too little. The residents are great to be around, but the cons heavily outweigh that.

This place is a JOKE and Management don't care for not only the employees but also the residents!!!!! They have no professional moral's behind closed doors and make people who apply that they put there residents and there employee's/staff first when they don't. They allow other employees to bully other employees and don't repremend them for there unprofessional behavior.
