Holy Angels provides residential care for infants, children, and adults ranging in age from birth to over sixty years of age. Residents of Holy Angels have the option of living in dormitory settings or in one of 12 group homes, located both on our 64-acre campus and in the southeast Shreveport area. Holy Angels offers complete services which include training in basic adaptive skills, vocational ed
ucation, community and social skills, and recreational skills. In addition, the facility provides ancillary services such as occupational therapy, aquatic exercise, dental care, psychiatric and psychological care—all overseen by our Medical Directors and staff of registered nurses and licensed practical nurses. Community Partners in providing these services include Shriners Hospital, LSU Health Sciences Center. Resident healthcare is supported by consulting physicians and hospitalization at Willis-Knighton Health System, Sutton’s Children’s Hospital, and CHRISTUS Schumpert Health System. Residents gain self-esteem and job satisfaction by participating in AngelWorks, Holy Angels’ social enterprises. At the present time, residents may participate in several enterprises, including Business Services (shredding and collating), Visual Arts (sewing crafts, jewelry making, and art), and Culinary Arts (cookie baking). The Horticulture Enterprise opened in February 2011 with Vermicomposting. Services are supported by outpatient therapy centers, consulting physicians and dentists, Caddo Parish Schools, a computer lab, two gyms, indoor and outdoor pools, a chapel which provides weekly church services, and a gift shop which markets products and services made by the residents. Holy Angels employs approximately 320 staff members who care for and train residents, provide support services, and oversee Holy Angels’ management twenty-four hours per day, 365 days per year. Our mission sustains our legacy of caring, teaching, learning, and work. In a caring and home-like environment, individuals we serve will experience the dignity of living as independently as possible. Our goal is to meld many disciplines into a complete life experience for each Holy Angels resident. And in so doing, we seek to provide peace of mind for our residents and their families.
