Residential Programs

Crossroads Louisiana provides residential living both in community homes, apartments and in private homes.

During the day, individuals in our residential programs work independently in the community, participate in work/training programs or access local educational and entertaining activities.

Service Plans
Service plans are individually designed for each resident. The plan addresses the whole person, including their physical limitations, medical issues, social and emotional support, and vocational needs. Plans are closely monitored for progress and consistently updated to include revised goals for learning higher level living skills.

Coordination of Services
Many adults with intellectual developmental disabilities have a wide range of medical needs that require close coordination, and addressing these needs is a top priority. Each group home and the SIL program is assigned a vehicle, handicap-equipped, if necessary, for the program, which is used to bring residents to scheduled and unscheduled appointments that include:

• visits to the doctor
• nurse monitoring
• hearing and speech therapy
• vision exams
• physical therapy
• dental care
• community outings
• family visits
• employment activites

Community Integration
Enabling community integration and offering opportunities to develop community connections is the key to fostering a sense of independence and building self-esteem. We focus on attaining these goals by:

• encouraging family participation in our programs
• planning theme-based parties
• going on group vacations and trips
• community outings
