Living Unified is a planned faith-based community built for adults with special needs — lifelong housing, healthcare, meaningful work, and friendship, all in one place. We're inviting you to help build it.
"What happens to my child when I'm no longer here to care for them?"
It's the question that keeps parents and caregivers of special needs adults awake at night. Across Louisiana, families are aging alongside the adult children they've cared for their whole lives — and lifelong, dignified housing options are scarce.
Living Unified was founded to answer that question. Not with a single group home, but with a complete community — housing, healthcare, therapy, vocational training, faith, and recreation, all woven into one place where residents can live independently and safely for life.
Every building on this campus serves one goal: a resident's ability to live with independence, safety, and purpose — physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually, and vocationally.
Apartment communities, group homes, independent living units, assisted living, and parent & family housing — private bedrooms, shared community areas, and 24-hour support staff.
An on-site clinic, physical and occupational therapy, wellness programs, and walk-in medical care designed specifically for adults with special needs.
Job training, life-skills coaching, and real employment opportunities — including the farm, greenhouses, coffee shop, bakery, and retail store, all staffed by residents.
Worship services, spiritual support, and counseling at the heart of campus — faith woven into daily life, not set apart from it.
A pool, hot tub, fitness center, game room, and theater, plus a sports complex with basketball, pickleball, and a softball field.
Greenhouses, gardens, and hands-on farm and animal programs that double as vocational training and daily purpose.
An art studio, music and dance space, and crafts programs for creative expression and community events.
An on-campus transportation center keeps residents connected — to jobs, appointments, worship, and the wider community.
