Village
de Memoire is the only HUD 202/Section 8 complex in the state of
Louisiana that has been awarded the Congregate Housing Services
Program grant. Our CHSP program began operations in 1995. We have
been operating for the past thirteen years.
The
program serves 24 frail elderly or disabled residents with on-site
supportive services such as a homemaker once per week for two hours,
a hot meal on Saturdays and Sundays, and a personal emergency response
system. We contract with three different local providers to assist
with the services for the residents and to strengthen community
bonds. The services are paid for through grant funds, participant
fees and matching resources.
The
CHSP program has been instrumental in allowing our frail elderly
to age in place while waiting for more permanent and far-reaching
services such as the Elderly and Disabled Adult Waiver program,
which presently has a three year waiting list in the state of Louisiana.
Without the CHSP program, no other alternatives to supportive services
would have been available in our community to meet their needs.
We
are very fortunate to be able to offer these services to our residents.
