Westside Habilitation Center, Inc. is a private, non-profit
corporation licensed by the State of Louisiana and managed by Rapides Management
Corporation. We are licensed as an
Intermediate Care Facility for the Developmentally Disabled (ICF/DD). Westside is
funded through participation in the Medicaid program. Since the first
client was admitted in May of 1983, our programs have evolved in response to
client needs and increasing knowledge within the field of developmental
disabilities.
Our Mission
Westside Habilitation Center, Inc. maintains an aggressive
and consistent effort directed toward addressing the special needs of
developmentally disabled citizens who experience challenging behavior. Our mission is to
provide comprehensive care and individualized training which will facilitate
maximum development of developmentally disabled
persons. We are committed to providing a full
array of services, developed according to each person's individual needs.
Our programs begin with a total
assessment of each person to determine their needs and the expectations they desire. The process involves securing professional assessments
including: medical, psychiatric, dental, psychological, social, speech therapy, audiology,
physical therapy, dietary, occupational therapy, behavioral, academic, and
adaptive functioning. Based on these assessments, an integrated plan of
care and training with behaviorally stated goals and objectives is developed.
All staff contribute to the over-all care and treatment as designated in the
plan of care. We constantly monitor individuals' responses to their plan of care and thus make timely
alterations to insure their opportunity to achieve maximum progress.
As an individual achieves goals and objectives in their plan of
care, Westside actively assists them in progressing into environments
which offer more freedoms and less structure. We are committed to assisting
individuals
in achieving progressive steps in their plan of care which lead to their
successful functioning in the least restricted, appropriate environment with the
overall goal being independence. Our staff are trained to emphasize
individualization and assertively protect human rights.
