Villa Licci

Our Goals:

1. Increase awareness and understanding of the unique challenges faced by adult survivors of traumatic brain injuries and the Villa Licci mission.
2. Provide opportunities within a residential setting to nurture friendships that contribute to an overall sense of belonging and well-being for all residents.
3. To meaningfully engage with all stakeholders, partners, donors, and agencies to build a network of volunteers and funding for the Villa Licci mission.
4. To have Villa Licci residential communities in every state, serving TBI survivors throughout the country.

The vision for Villa Licci is to be a long-term residential facility for adults who have acquired a brain injury. Villa Licci will offer semi-independent living with varying levels of caregiver support depending on the needs of the residents. Villa Licci will provide an environment that encourages residents to engage with the resident community to create a sense of belonging and an enhanced sense of self-worth for residents. Funding for Villa Licci will be provided by philanthropic partners, grants, fund raising and private contributions. Utilities and maintenance of the facility will be largely resourced from rent paid by residents supplemented as necessary from the general fund.

The purpose of Villa Licci is to provide safe and independent housing, fellowship, and dignity in a faith-centered environment for adult survivors of traumatic brain injuries. This will enhance the survivors’ quality of life by creating a social network within the residence and will alleviate the loneliness that many feel in their current circumstances. The residence will be an environment centered on faith, compassion, respect, integrity, and community. This residence will have onsite supervision for residents that require around the clock support. Caregivers will be present to assist residents with daily needs and to coordinate activities and occasional outings.

Villa Licci serves adults who have suffered a brain injury. Villa Licci will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or marital status. Applicants for residency at Villa Licci will be considered by an admissions committee appointed by the Villa Licci Board of Directors. Admissions criteria will be structured to ensure Villa Licci can provide the quality of care required by the applicant and to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all residents in the facility.

The first residential site of Villa Licci will be located at 18111 Grassy Branch Rd. in Westfield, IN. The building will be constructed in accordance with ADA regulations and with other considerations to serve the needs of TBI survivors.

The Villa Licci facility will be designed to provide a private living space for each resident. The design will enable grouping of residents with similar needs for care and oversight. Male and female residents will be separated. A section of the structure will be designated for residents that require 24-hour support. The facility will have at least one common area for all residents to gather for meals and social events.

The structure will include a residential apartment for use by a lead caregiver. The apartment will be part of the caregiver compensation and an incentive for long-term engagement with Villa Licci. All caregiving staff will be certified to provide assistance to adults living with TBIs.

All residents will be supported in their daily activities on an as needed basis.

We have a dedicated Board of Trustees, an Executive Director and commitment to follow through with our goals.

Villa Licci will secure funding to build the core structure through fundraising, partnerships and contributions from local corporations, gifts from philanthropic organizations, and grants. The goal of Villa Licci is to secure sufficient contributions, grants, and gifts to pay for the structure outright before residents are welcomed.

Utilities, maintenance, and upkeep for the structure will be funded through the rental payments of the residents. Residents will be charged rent based on their ability to pay. If revenue from rent is insufficient to cover operating expenses, resources from a general management fund will be used to pay the difference.

The caregiving costs will be subsidized through the Traumatic Brain Injury Waiver, CIH Waiver, and private pay. Villa Licci will partner with a provider to secure a qualified and committed caregiving staff. Villa Licci may supplement compensation for caregivers as an incentive to attract and retain top talent for this role. Funds to supplement compensation will come from a General Fund.

The General Fund for Villa Licci will be created and resourced with proceeds from fund raising activities, grants, gifts, and contributions.
