Benevilla Reopens Mary’s Place Life Enrichment Program

January 20, 2021

Benevilla is excited to announce the reopening of Mary’s Place Life Enrichment Program located at 14601 N. Del Webb Blvd, Sun City, 85351 starting February 2021.  Mary’s Place provides support and day-time respite to family members caring for a loved one with mid to advanced stages of dementia, those with Parkinson’s, stroke survivors and those with fall-related injuries.  The focus of Mary’s Place is to identify the strengths of each member, working with them to make the most of their personal capital, which ultimately helps preserve memory. A registered nurse provides medical oversight, including medication administration, regular monitoring of weight and vitals, care for chronic conditions such as diabetes, and many other services requested by the primary physician.

The program will open February 1, 2021 and is now enrolling.  Benevilla has implemented all necessary safety precautions and procedures to help keep staff and members safe and healthy.  Temperature checks will be required on all members, staff, and volunteers on a daily basis. The Directors of each program will ensure masks are being worn at all times and hand washing, and hand sanitizer is available for everyone. Partitions have been added to all tables and close contact areas to make sure all members remain 6 feet apart. Many programming changes and new lunch procedures have been initiated to promote social distancing.  Although daily activities have been modified for health safety, Benevilla continues to provide high quality care and socialization opportunities for each member and much-needed respite for caregivers in our community.

“We are very excited to reopen Mary’s Place once again to serve more members in our community,” says Shelly Buchmeyer, Director of Mary’s Place.  “My team and I are ready to see our new and former members return.”  For more information on Mary’s Place or any Benevilla Life Enrichment Program, please visit www.Benevilla.org or call today at 623-584-4999. Benevilla is currently offering virtual tours of our various program locations in the West Valley.
