Behavioral Care

Maravilla is an innovator in all areas of behavioral health and long-term care. We individualize and tailor our care to those who live in the community of Maravilla – our residents. Maravilla has long partnered with Mercy Care Long Term Care Plan, United Health Care Community Plan, Banner University Family Care, AHCCS/ALTCS, and Veterans Affairs Health Administrations (VA). We are certified by the National Council for Certified Dementia Practitioners – a nationally recognized organization that specializes and certifies health care providers in the treatment of patients with memory impairment and dementia.

Our community is comprised of five units, providing specific individualized care to their distinct populations. These units provide distinct levels of behavioral care and interventions. Our residents move through these units as their needs change, but their sense of “home” is cultivated regardless of the unit. Maravilla Care Center’s unique model incorporates individualized person-centered practices to create its homelike environment. Practices include animal visits and unique exercise classes.

Our Neighborhoods

Apache
Apache is Maravilla’s neurobehavioral unit. Residents on this unit may be challenged with the residual impacts of acute conditions such as a stroke or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Residents on the Apache unit receive strengthening and conditioning through our onsite therapy program. The use of specialized behavioral strategies is implemented based on each patient’s individualized functional and cognitive needs.

Sunset Point
Sunset is Maravilla’s highest acuity unit. Residents on this unit may display more challenging behaviors and require additional structures to be successful. Residents typically reside in private rooms due to a wide range of personality and disruptive behavioral disorders. Upon admission to Sunset, the interdisciplinary team reviews behavioral assessments and determines the necessary individualized structures to ensure the safety and success of every resident.

Rio/Hollywood
Rio Hollywood is a stepdown unit for Sunset. As residents progress through their behavioral care plan and experience improvement in exhibited behaviors, they may transition to Rio’s behavioral care model. Residents on this unit enjoy enhanced engagement opportunities structured to promote one’s group and individual development.

Paradise Island
Paradise Island is a dementia unit for reduced cognitive capacity. Residents typically maintain a diagnosis of dementia, Alzheimer’s, or other diagnosis affecting their functional and cognitive abilities. The residents on this unit may display disruptive wandering behaviors that a traditional nursing facility cannot support. The nursing team is highly experienced in redirecting and supporting residents with challenges with memory and misapprehension.

Victorian Lane
Victoria Lane is considered the long-term sanctuary of the facility, specifically developed for residents who have been challenged by medical and psychiatric conditions. Patient centered care remains a focus for this unit by providing a plethora of events that focus on improving the diminished general vitality, commonly seen in aging or disease progression. Residents are encouraged to participate in the engaging activities to promote overall enhancement of their quality of life.
