The center gives daytime care for older adults, stroke survivors, people with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, dementia, and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As part of Benevilla, a non-profit focused on life enrichment programs, the center has adult day health care services with a three-year accreditation and is licensed as facility AL1083D. The staff supports people from Peoria, Glendale, and West Phoenix through West Valley Life Enrichment Day Program, which helps both members and their family caregivers with supervision, support, and activities throughout the day.
The center is housed in The Church at Cactus and is known for a club-like, welcoming atmosphere with group activities, games, music, and a safe place to spend the day. There's always something to do, with outings, exercises, arts and crafts, discussion groups, brain games, cards, and puzzles. The programs include Lucy Anne's Place, designed for people in early to mid-stages of dementia-related illnesses, and Mary's Place, which helps those with moderate to advanced dementia, combining care and creative aging activities. The center has adapted activities for people with physical challenges, offering both individual and group exercise, and features amenities like gardens and private or community rooms for socializing.
Benevilla Adult Day Center gives participants nutritious meals and snacks, transportation to and from the center, health monitoring and wellness checks, and restorative therapy as part of the day.
