SCAN Health Plan Supports Benevilla’s Home Services with $25,000 Grant

May 12, 2025

Benevilla is pleased to announce that they have received a $25,000 grant from SCAN Health Plan, one of the nation’s largest not-for-profit Medicare Advantage Plans,  to enhance its Home Services program, which provides vital in-home support to seniors throughout the West Valley.

The funding will help Benevilla continue offering free, volunteer-driven services such as grocery shopping, transportation to medical appointments, minor home repairs, and friendly visits. These services empower older adults to live independently and safely in their own homes, which aligns with SCAN’s mission to keep seniors healthy and independent.

“This generous support from SCAN Health Plan strengthens our ability to care for seniors aging in place,” said Joanne Byers, President and CEO of Benevilla. “Their investment ensures we can continue meeting the growing needs of our community.”

“We’re proud to support Benevilla’s Home Services program with this grant,” said Mercedes Perezchica, SCAN’s director of community giving. “By partnering with organizations like Benevilla, we aim to strengthen the support system for older adults in Arizona – ensuring they have access to the care and services they need to remain safe, independent, and connect to their communities.”

For more than 40 years, Benevilla has built a reputation for delivering trusted, compassionate care for older adults and their families. Partnerships like this one help further the mission and make lasting change possible.
