Benevilla 2010 Annual Report

The Story of Benevilla: A Family Album

2010 Annual Report

From the President and Board ChairDear Friends,

It has been an exciting year for Benevilla as we continue to balance continuity and change in meeting the needs of a dynamic community.

Originally founded to provide support services to help the older adults of the Sun Cities to maintain their dignity and remain independent, Benevilla embraced the explosive growth of population in the Northwest Valley by widening its mission. That wider focus allows the organization to offer a diverse assortment of programs designed to bring together older adults, children and families and to find new ways to enhance the experience of life for people of all ages.

This annual report is a “family album” which celebrates the evolution of an organization that was founded by the community for the community nearly 30 years ago and which continues to respond to community needs with agility available only at the local level.

The impact of a changing community can be seen in every corner of Benevilla. Just look at the diversity reflected in the faces of even a handful of our nearly 700 volunteers! From 12-year old Diego to 92-year old Wanda, an amazing variety of people are contributing their talents, energy and enthusiasm to cultivating a caring community.

Benevilla continually strives to support a changing community with additions and modifications to existing programs while remaining steadfast in support of our historical roots.

Our dedication to the core services for older adults is unwavering and we answer that need with six adult day programs, caregiver support groups, information and referral services and by coordinating the efforts of more than 695 volunteers in helping their neighbors with the necessary tasks of daily living. We expanded our efforts in 2010 with the introduction of the only home-delivered meals program serving Surprise.

Our change is reflected in newer programs designed for the growing needs of families in the Northwest Valley including Wirtzie’s Child Development Center, Art’s Center for All Ages Intergenerational Program, the Benevilla Family Resource Center and providing an outlet for local musicians and artists at Birt’s Bistro & Bookstore. Benevilla is also proud to be a part of collaborative efforts bringing a community garden and public art to the original town site of Surprise.

One of the biggest decisions balancing change and continuity was the adoption of a new name.

Choosing a new name is never an easy process, especially while honoring three decades of history and hundreds of passionate volunteers, donors, participants and partners. Dozens of interviews with those stakeholders revealed a common theme that Benevilla acts as a surrogate family or as support in the ups and downs of life.

So “Benevilla” was born. With “bene” the root of good and “villa” as home, the word connotes “good home”. Our tag

line “Cultivating Caring Communities” speaks to our commitment to growing with the community we serve. The new logo is a nod to the past and an exciting vision of the future. Part sun, part view of the circle of caring people from above with faces turned up, arms open and hearts wide, we hope that together, the new name, tag line and logo convey the warmth and support the agency is proud to have offered for almost thirty years.

Benevilla: a celebration of the past and a new name for a new future.

Thank you for everything you do to make that possible,

Benevilla Adult Day Programs

Charlotte fell head over heels in love with James Marsh in a small-town Alabama high school when she was 17 and he was 19. Despite her family’s threat to disown her, she married him and has never looked back.

Forty-eight years later, that love drives everything Charlotte does every moment of the day as caregiver for James, who has late-stage dementia complicated by damage from a recent stroke.

Like many caregivers, Charlotte was certain that she could go it alone. Charlotte reluctantly agreed to try a Benevilla Adult Day Program but spent the first day hidden in the Mary’s Place nurse’s office, alert for the first sign of distress in James. It never surfaced.

Now, Charlotte is a passionate evangelist for the program and trumpets how caring and involved the staff is with the participants. James calls the program his “school” and wants to know why he can’t attend on Saturday and Sunday as well as on weekdays.

Charlotte sums it up with “my goal is to make sure James always knows he’s safe and loved. The people at Mary’s Place are invaluable in helping me meet that goal. It’s so much better than going through this alone.”

Benevilla’s Adult Day Programs, including Mary’s Place and Lucy Anne’s Place, help families caring for someone with a chronic physical condition, dementia-related illness or a developmental disability.

Programs are available to address particular concerns including the needs of adults who have Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related diseases, those who need physical therapy or who would benefit from restorative care and adults with developmental disabilities.

All six of our Adult Day Programs are accredited through CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities), exceed the expectations of the Department of Health Services and maintain best practices in the field of adult day services.

Helping Partners Program

Kevin’s energy, intelligence and forceful personality shine through the firm handshake and ready smile with which he greets everyone.

Kevin has been with the Helping Partners Program for 13 years and is the kind of active adult the program excels at helping by engaging and challenging each to reach the maximum amount of independence possible in their situation. Program staff practice person-centered care and work with each individual to develop and regularly update goals for social, physical and cognitive growth.

In Kevin’s case, the key was finding a positive channel for his inexhaustible energy and restless mind. Kevin was assigned certain responsibilities within the Center and also volunteers in the community including working at a local food bank, thrift store and animal shelter. Kevin also loves participating in the HPP choir and is very excited about the new repertoire the choir is learning from “The Sound of Music”. Each day, Kevin can choose from a wide variety of activities including outings in the community, time to learn math and money skills, practice reading, explore science, have fun cooking or enjoy physical activity and exercise.

Supervisor Kamisha Gooch credits finding the right mix of challenge and fun for building Kevin’s self-esteem. Kevin’s mother, Karen, agrees that the program has made an invaluable difference in Kevin’s life. As she puts it, “Kevin can be a handful, but the Helping Partners Program has helped him build more friendships and enjoy more hobbies and activities than I ever thought possible. It has been wonderful!”

Home Services

Home Delivered MealsThe Benevilla Home Delivered Meals program began service in October 2010.

Volunteers deliver nutritious, wholesome midday meals to homebound adults who may have difficulty getting proper nutrition—often because of mobility or health issues. Volunteers also provide a social support system of resources and information about Benevilla services and other community organizations in order to better respond to their individual needs.

Start-up funds for this program were provided through a generous grant from BHHS Legacy Foundation and Thunderbird Charities.

Evelyn is a petite, soft-spoken woman who exemplifies grace and warmth even when discussing the challenges she and her husband, Ted, face. Their 2005 marriage was a late-life chance at love for two people who met in their teens but had gone their separate ways before reuniting.

Ted’s diagnosis of pernicious anemia led to a set of secondary problems and Evelyn’s own cascade of health concerns, including a heart condition, diabetes, arthritis and macular degeneration, made it increasingly impossible to handle many of the day-to-day tasks of living and the couple began to consider the painful option of leaving their home.

A concerned pastor recommended Benevilla, whose social services staff was able to connect Evelyn with much-needed resources, giving both Evelyn and Ted reassurance and peace of mind.

Benevilla volunteers now provide regular trips to the many doctor’s appointments the couple have each month, pick up and deliver groceries, help with household tasks like balancing the checkbook and writing correspondence, and have provided invaluable handyman help to maintain their home when needed.

Benevilla’s Volunteer Home Services matches caring volunteers with older adults who need help with shopping, transportation, financial affairs, minor household repairs or who need a friendly visitor or phone pal.

Services are provided at no charge to individuals with limited resources.

Information & Referral

Caregiver Support GroupsOver 40% of caregivers rate their emotional stress as high or very high and one third of caregivers have symptoms of depression. Benevilla support groups provide opportunities for caregivers to learn techniques in providing care for their loved one while receiving encouragement from other group members.

Groups are tailored to help those caring for someone with dementia-related diseases, other chronic illnesses, parents of adults with developmental disabilities and individuals living with grief and bereavement.

In 2010, Benevilla tested a new caregiver support group format for those in the early stages of dementia and offered concurrent groups designed to help the newly diagnosed with coping strategies and information while a different group helped caregivers with support and preparation.

In 2010, Benevilla’s professional staff of social workers responded to over 550 telephone calls each month.

Benevilla’s Information & Referral specialists maintain a constantly updated database of local resources to help individuals and families identify, understand and effectively use community services.

This “one-stop-shop” can either provide services directly from Benevilla or make appropriate referrals from our extensive information base of over 1,000 providers and agencies.

Thank you and your wonderful staff for always being

there when I need help. It’s so refreshing to know that when I call, I get a lovely

person’s voice instead of a machine. It makes such a

difference! I have been so grateful for how nice everyone

has been and how helpful they are in tracking down

services for me. Thank you for all you do!

- Jean C.

Thank you for being there for caregivers. I learned so much in your support group and have passed information on to others I know who care for people with dementia. I’m so grateful to have your group and newsletters for encouragement, communication and education.

You are a true blessing!

- Sandy S.

The Wirtzie’s goal is to provide a community where relationships are built and everyone contributes and belongs.

We embrace the individualities of our children and their families and our staff knows that out of difference come strength, learning and understanding. Each child who comes to Wirtzie’s has unique mental, physical and social characteristics.

Because each child is unique, the Wirtzie’s curriculum is designed to find the optimal balance of structure and freedom for a child’s particular needs.

Our programs are designed to provide age-appropriate, child-directed activities that will inspire children to learn and discover through play and the spark of their own natural curiosity.

Wirtzie’s Child Development Center

A Benevilla Program

Family Resource Center

Art’s Center for All AgesA dedicated space between Lucy Anne’s Place and Wirtzie’s provides structured opportunities where children and older generations come together to grow, learn about themselves and others and form relationships that can be life changing.

The Center features a sensory garden, reading room and performance stage.

The Benevilla Family Resource Center is funded by a grant from First Things First and works to strengthen families with children 5 years and under. The Center offers free parenting classes, family events, a lending library of books and videos, links to community resources and information and distributes thousands of pre-kindergarten school readiness kits each year to help set children up for success in school.

To best serve the local community, services and materials are made available in both English and Spanish.

Birt’s Bistro & Bookstore

You may have heard Birt’s referred to as a “social enterprise”, but what does that mean?

A social enterprise is a business or service with social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that social purpose in the community.

What does that mean for you? Everything you purchase helps support Benevilla.

Birt’s Bistro & Bookstore is part cafe, part bookstore, part arts gallery, part music venue, but it’s ALL community gathering space.

From the uniquely modern, airy architecture to the casual light fare offered on the menu, the space encourages lingering and conversation for families in the Northwest Valley.

Patrons can browse thousands of gently used books, linger over work by local artisans or enjoy live, local music.

Birt’s also caters events large and small.

Chez Nous Center & Cafe

After losing her husband 12 years ago, Wanda S. felt lost and did not know how to begin building a new life. A friend suggested volunteer-

ing at Benevilla (at the time Interfaith Community Care), and as Wanda puts it, “I went. I made friends. And I felt so welcome from that very first day that I stayed.”

When Chez Nous opened in 2004, Wanda was an eager volunteer at the new social center and café. In fact, she was part of the group who selected the name for the new gathering spot.

Since then, Wanda has served a multitude of meals, washed a mountain of dishes and offered a smile and a greeting to everyone she encounters. Now a vibrant 92 years old, she frankly admits, “If I hadn’t found Chez Nous when I was 80, I probably wouldn’t be here today.”

Whenever anyone mentions to her that they don’t know anyone or are lonely, she tells them to come to Chez Nous and make friends. “It’s such a warm place! People come in for a class, a cup of coffee or a sandwich and they find so much more. There’s lots of hugging and everyone always remembers to ask about you and your family.”

With her only son splitting his time between Arizona and the Midwest, Wanda says “Chez Nous is both my family and my home away from home. If I didn’t have Chez Nous to go to, I don’t know where I’d go.”

Chez Nous (pronounced “shay new”) is a neighborhood social center and cafe in the heart of Sun City West which provides the community a place to forge a new friendship, learn a new hobby, or to relax over a light meal or specialty coffee.
