Dementia Care and Education Campus

Take a tour of the campus 

The Dementia Care and Education Campus helps people living with all types and all stages of dementia, providing support from the time of diagnosis through the hospice journey. Nestled in the heart of central Phoenix at 44th Street and east Indianola Avenue, this innovative campus provides a full spectrum of services and surrounds family members with compassionate support.

Everyone in the community is welcome to utilize the Education Center, which hosts a variety of support groups, music and fitness activities offered at no charge.

For short-term acute needs, patients may stay at the Levine Home Inpatient Care Unit for exceptional round-the-clock care. The Campus also features a small Assisted Living Center for those living with dementia, plus an Adult Day Club to provide socialization and give caregivers a break.

An adjacent Child Center operated by the YMCA’s Y-Academy @ Arcadia provides intergenerational enrichment and stimulating activities for preschoolers.

The campus offers:
Education Center

The Community Education Center serves people from all walks of life — offering classes in dementia care to healthcare professionals, physicians, nurses, social workers and caregivers, as well as family care partners. This versatile facility provides a broad spectrum of care and education, including instructional workshops, professional training classes, support groups, caregiver skills labs, mindfulness sessions and community concerts. There is a conference room for up to 110 guests; a cozy living room for small groups; model bedroom and bathroom for teaching life skills; and a resource library.

Adult Day Club & Child Center

An Adult Day Club offers stimulating programs for people who have any type of dementia. Participants benefit from socialization while family members get a break from the stress of caregiving. Programs include a variety of engaging experiences in the activity room and art studio, plus pet and music therapy. Adult Day Club members also enjoy intergenerational activities with youngsters in the adjacent Child Center operated by the YMCA's Y-Academy. Children 2 to 5 years old experience a rich environment of art, water play, science, music, games and outdoor play on the natural playground in the campus courtyard.

Assisted Living Center

A 12-person Assisted Living Center serves those with dementia who may or may not be on hospice. It features private rooms as well as a suite designed to accommodate a couple. Residents at the Assisted Living Center enjoy full amenities, such as housekeeping, dining and salon services, piano music and an inviting space for socializing. Specially trained volunteers make visits to provide stimulating engagement opportunities—such as massage, art, music and pet therapy. Using their unique talents, they strive to engage the senses and make meaningful connections to enrich daily life.

Levine Home

Levine Home has 10 private rooms to serve those needing more intensive short-term care. Although the loving caregivers and volunteers have special training in dementia care, the Levine Home serves all hospice patients in need of exceptional round-the-clock care, in addition to those with a dementia diagnosis. Our clinical teams help achieve the best quality of life possible using music, pet therapy, aromatherapy, massage and other techniques to make connections that bring joy and comfort. Families receive emotional support, education and resources to help navigate the challenges of caregiving.

Memory Café

Adjoining the Community Education Center is a Memory Café — a dementia-friendly place to gather, socialize and have a bite to eat.

It also hosts support groups for family caregivers to share experiences with one another.

Garden Courtyard

A lovely green space at the heart of the campus invites a leisurely stroll of the circular courtyard with plenty of places to sit and relax.

A sensory garden uses scent, movement and texture to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. It is the perfect place to meditate, reflect and enjoy some solitude.

The courtyard can also host outdoor movies, concerts and other community events.
