About Viola Care Services

 

What was once simply known as the Viola Community Home, Viola Care Services began in 1996 as a single, in-home, family-run residential care home in Westlake, Louisiana, just one of many group homes under the Monte Carlo Group Home umbrella.

 

Today, Viola Care Services operates from what some would say are simple, ordinary suburban houses, modified for accessibility, providing a supportive family-living environment for individuals with disabilities, whether permanent or temporary. These homes allow residents to interact with others, receive assistance with daily tasks, and engage in activities in a communal living space, with handicap-accessible bathrooms and work- or play- therapy rooms.​

​

Viola Care Services offers benefits like 24/7 support from trained staff, a safe and secure environment with adaptive features, and opportunities for social interaction. They also handle daily tasks like cooking and cleaning, provide medication management, and offer structured routines with activities to enhance the quality of life.

The Viola Care Services Residential Home Care Experience

​

• Encourages autonomy:

Living in a residential setting allows individuals to retain a sense of control over their daily lives, as they can make choices about their schedules, activities, and personal living space.

• Develops life skills:

Residents are given opportunities to learn and practice essential life skills such as cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and social interaction. Staff provide guidance as needed, empowering individuals to build self-confidence.

• Promotes independence:

By providing support with tasks like personal care and medication management, residents gain the confidence to handle day-to-day activities, knowing that assistance is available if they need it. 

• Constant supervision:

Trained staff provide continuous supervision, personal care, and assistance with mobility and other needs at any time, ensuring the safety and well-being of residents.

• Person-centered approach:

Care and attention are tailored to an individual's specific needs, skills, and goals. Individualized service plans address a resident's physical, emotional, and social needs to promote their overall quality of life.

• Access to healthcare professionals:

Our facilities have access to medical professionals and can coordinate with networks of specialized service providers. Staff can also manage medication, reducing the risk of error and ensuring residents receive their prescribed treatments on time. 

• Greater social opportunities:

Enhanced social and community integration for individuals who may become isolated living at home, residential care homes offer the chance to interact with peers and staff, reducing loneliness.

• Built-in community:

Residents live in a communal family-like setting with shared spaces and activities, which helps foster new friendships and a sense of belonging.

• Promotes community involvement:

Staff often organize group outings, recreational activities, and events that help residents become active and engaged members of the broader community. 

• Adapted living spaces:

Our facilities are designed to be a safe and supportive living environment, with features like widened doorways, wheelchair-friendly showers, and safety handrails, ensuring comfort and easy movement.

• Peace of mind for families:

When family members are no longer able to provide full-time care, Viola Care Services offer a much-needed break for caregivers. Knowing a loved one is in a safe and supportive environment with professional help can provide great reassurance.

• Structured routines:

Constructive and predictable routines can reduce anxiety and stress for residents, helping to establish good habits and provide a sense of stability.
