Care that gets to know you 

Our approach is grounded in three connected parts: The La Vita Care Compass, La Vita Care Adapt, and La Vita Care Modules.

Why our approach matters

When you or your loved one has an acquired brain injury or neurological condition, every day can feel different. There are good days and harder days. Fluctuations in health, energy, and comfort. And so many moving parts to manage — appointments, medications, home setup, support workers, therapy schedules.

 

It's overwhelming and uncertain. And it's exactly why we built our approach the way we did.

The La Vita Care Compass

Care that looks at the whole person — across health, home, personal care, and community — and how everything connects.

La Vita Care Adapt

Attentive support that has identified risks and triggers, monitors patterns, prepares calmly, and stays ready to adjust when your care needs change.

La Vita Care Modules

Reliable, repeatable practices built with rigour and personalised for you — so every member of your care team delivers consistent, thoughtful care and support.

The La Vita Care Compass, La Vita Care Adapt, and La Vita Care Modules work together to help you understand and support your care needs.

 

They help us get to know you as a whole person, pay close attention to patterns that matter, and stay ready to adjust support thoughtfully when your care needs change.

 

You don't have to manage everything alone — we're here to support you.

The La Vita Care Compass: Understanding the whole person

The La Vita Care Compass helps us understand what matters most — across personal wellbeing, health, home environment, and community connections. It's how we ensure support is thoughtful, connected, and grounded in your life.

Personal

What brings you comfort, stability, and a sense of self — honoured in how we support you every day.

Health

The patterns we pay close attention to, and the health support you need — from medication management to nutrition.

Home

The setup, pathways, lighting, and comfort that shape everyday life.

Community

Your relationships and connections, and how they support your wellbeing.

La Vita Care Adapt

Attentive support, ready for changing needs

With neurological and acquired brain injury conditions, there are good days and harder days.

 

La Vita Care Adapt is how we pay close attention to patterns that matter — energy levels, comfort, health changes, and triggers — to help increase comfort, support health, and reduce fluctuations.

 

It's also about how we stay ready to adjust support thoughtfully when your care needs change.

Patterns we pay close attention to

Fatigue cycles, mobility changes, discomfort indicators, sleep quality, behavioral patterns.

Risks & triggers we watch for

Environmental factors, timing of tasks, early signs of discomfort, changes that could affect wellbeing.

Signs we notice early

Breathing changes, increased effort in transfers, shifts in alertness, signs of infection.

How we adapt calmly

Shortening tasks, pacing activities, repositioning, keeping you informed promptly, and communicating with your health and support team.

Preparation modules

How we set up your space to reduce discomfort and improve safety.

Handover modules

Consistent communication between support workers — so you don't have to repeat yourself.

Daily rhythm modules

Breathing changes, increased effort in transfers, shifts in alertness, signs of infection.

La Vita Care Modules

Reliable practices you can count on

La Vita Care Modules are the best practice, reliable building blocks of how we deliver support.

 

They're designed to cover all the aspects of The La Vita Care Compass, prepared through La Vita Care Adapt, and used by every member of the team.

 

They are built to deliver excellence in care, then we tailor them to your needs and preferences — so your care stays consistent, thoughtful, and ready for what's ahead — without you having to give instructions every shift.

Our team

Our team includes experienced service coordinators and support workers with knowledge in acquired brain injuries and neurological care. More importantly, they bring genuine care, attention to detail, and a readiness to listen.

Let's talk about what matters to you.

Whether you're navigating a new diagnosis, planning your loved one's care after hospital, or looking for support that sees the whole person — we're here to help.

Start a conversation

We'll listen first, then help you understand what's possible.

What this looks like in practice

Example 1. When fatigue increases

We notice you're tiring earlier in the day. We shorten tasks, adjust the schedule, and keep you informed — so there's less strain and more comfort.

Example 2. A small home adjustment

We observe that reaching for items is causing you discomfort. We reposition essentials within easy reach — a simple change that improves your daily experience.

Example 3. Consistent support, every time

Every support worker follows the same setup routine — the chair positioned just right for you, the lighting adjusted, the routine predictable — so you feel secure and understood.

Building trust

Small moments. Big impact.

 

"You let me know when you're ready — you're in charge."

Angela, La Vita Care Support Worker, shares how one simple phrase that helps to build trust during personal care.

30 years of care, one clear belief

"I don't want to see your diagnosis first — I want to know who you are."

Carolyn, Service Manager at La Vita Care, shares what truly matters when you're thinking about the support you need.
