ADULT SERVICES
The need for active adult community based programs, as well as employment services for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities, is very real. SVH Adult Services is pleased to offer Achieve Employment, Katie’s Place Community Day Program, SPARK, social activities and recreational opportunities, as well as Daily Living Skills teaching and Therapeutic Consultation, for those difficult times.
Katie’s Place
A 501(c)3 non-profit created by parents of special needs children, Katie’s Place is named in memory of Katie Whitlock, a much loved young lady who passed away in 2006.
Katie’s Place is a community day support program that operates five days-a-week in the Downtown Roanoke area. The long term goal of Katie’s Place is to provide support for those who desire to live and work on their own one day, while continuing to offer Day Support for those who live at home.
The Hub
The Hub offers and eclectic, technology rich space in Downtown Roanoke, where “hanging out” is acceptable, intentional gaming is embraced, social relationships are developed and independence is encouraged!
Achieve Employment Services
Achieve Employment is a program under the Adult Services umbrella of St. Vincent’s Home. Services are funded through Waiver (DBHDS), Department of Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) and private pay. This Employment Services Organization (ESO) program EMPOWERS individuals with varying abilities and disabilities through two programs:
- Assessment Services

Therapeutic Consultation
Therapeutic consultation can be obtained by St. Vincent’s Home (SVH) when an individual goal/s are not being met due to one of the following:

SPARK
Social Play, Activity and Recreation “Krew”
This is a participant led social group that meets regularly with college students and young adults. The individuals plan their own activities, “hang outs,” or whatever they choose to do together. Activities include restaurant nights, bowling, open gym, movie nights, etc. There is no charge except for the planned activities that have an associated cost (such as bowling shoes, movie, etc.).
