Hacienda

Founded in 1967 as Hacienda de los Angeles, a single facility serving three children, Hacienda has continued to expand to meet the needs of the ever-increasing numbers of infants, children and young adults who require the high level of medical and habilitation care offered by the organization.

Today, Hacienda is Arizona’s leading provider of specialized health care and social services to infants, children and young adults who have medical, physical and intellectual impairments. Hacienda’s comprehensive service system is capable of meeting the habilitation, restorative and long-term needs of individuals who are victims of genetic disorders, birth trauma, accidents, physical abuse and debilitating or life threatening diseases.

Our programs focus on the medical, educational, therapeutic, social and recreational needs of each patient. Hacienda’s services include 24-hour nursing, respiratory services, on-grounds and public elementary and high school education programs, early intervention and prevention services, respite care, group home services and a transition program that allows parents and relatives to develop skills to care for their family member at home. On campus, just a few steps away from the main facility is “Angel House,” a one-bedroom apartment, providing a place for families to stay while receiving home-care training or visiting from out of town.

State-of-the-art facilities and equipment combined with dedicated, skilled personnel afford each patient optimum medical care in an atmosphere that is as homelike as possible. Hacienda’s moderate size (60 beds) and creative living environments allow for individual attention and a feeling of closeness between patients and staff.

Hacienda Early Intervention Program

Hacienda’s Early Intervention Program works with infants and toddlers ages 0-3 who have been diagnosed with a developmental delay or disability or have been identified as being at-risk for a delay or disability in the future. Developmental Specialists serve children of all levels of functioning within an educational framework that helps children achieve their individual potentials. The program is comprehensive in that it integrates all areas of a child’s development into services, including motor skills, communication, social skills, self-help and cognitive development. Services are home-based or may be provided at other locations in a child’s natural environment including daycare, a relative’s home or a park. The program serves children and families of all social, economic and cultural backgrounds. Spanish-speaking staff is available. The program is contracted with the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) and serves all of Maricopa County. For more information on the Early Intervention program, please contact Kris Lanzel at 602.920.0713.

Hacienda operates four group homes in the community; two that are medical facilities and two traditional groups homes.

The two traditional group homes offer 24-hour supervision, the teaching a habilitation skills, daily living skills, and integration into the community.

In addition to the opportunities provided in a traditional group home setting, the two medical group home facilities offer round-the-clock medical supervision by Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN’s) and supervision by a Registered Nurse (RN). The individuals in these homes require specific medical supervision by trained personnel.

Both group home locations offer specialized programming and goal attainment programs for individuals whose medical conditions and intellectual deficits require round-the-clock care without requiring on-site doctors, nurses and therapists.

Hacienda had the unique opportunity to offer Arizona’s first medical group home which provided 24-hour care and supervision for chronically ill children and adults in the least restrictive environment possible. Some individuals attend public school special education classes while others attend our Day Treatment and Training Programs.

Day Treatment and Training Program

1402 E. South Mountain Avenue
Phoenix, Arizona 85042 Phone: 602.243.4231

Hacienda operates a day treatment and training program in Phoenix for young adults and teenagers with developmental disabilities.

Our day program serves individuals with a wide range of disabilities. This program can meet a variety of needs from preparing for a job search to assisting with the most acute medical needs. In order to do this, the staff provides many opportunities for socialization both with other individuals who attend our program and the community in general. Outings and excursions are offered several times a week and include trips to the local malls, libraries, museums and community events. Participants are also offered individual time to work on any specific habilitation goals that they may have.

Our day treatment and training program is contracted with the Department of Economic Security/Division of Developmental Disabilities which means we are also able to provide a summer program for children attending the general public school system. These services are offered to families who qualify for services with DDD and have a school age child looking for placement during the summer months. This program is similar to the regular Day Program services but tailored to meet the individual needs of each child to enhance what they learned during the regular school year.
