As of September 2012, the Fisher House is for Caregivers only. However, a Veteran or Active Duty service member may reside at the Fisher House if they have a caregiver to stay with them while they are seeking or receiving treatment at a VA Facility.

All requests for Fisher House lodging must be done via a "consult" from the VA through a Social Worker or clinical team at the Cincinnati VA.

Only 3 guests (total) may stay in a guest room at a time, and only one room can be allotted per family. The Fisher House is so nice, no wonder that folks want to bring all their relatives to stay with us.

Each guest room is thoroughly cleaned and ready for guests. The Fisher House Housekeeper provides fresh linens to guests each afternoon if their stay is multiple days. There is a Laundry room available on the 1st floor for guests to utilize  for their personal use.

Organizations, groups and donations come from all areas, so that our families have all the comforts of home for free during their difficult time.

We have had guests from all over Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and West Virginia. In addition to guests arriving here from North Carolina, Michigan, Florida, California and other states. The requirement is that the Veteran or family member reside more than 50 miles away from the Cincinnati VA. And yes, we often need to use MapQuest or Good Map to verify this information.

We have a total of 16 guest rooms - 4 handicap accessible rooms on the 1st floor and 12 guest rooms on the 2nd floor. Each guest room has a private bathroom and TV/DVD player.

As tempting as it may be, these spots are exclusively for the guest of the Fisher House. Be sure not to use one of these spaces as the VA Police helps to enforce this rule.

We have lots of food available for guests - everything from cereal to microwaveable meals to snacks. The Fisher House is equipped with everything a guest needs to make a tasty meal. In addition we have a volunteer Cook and organization's or groups that bring in meals for the families or cook on site.
