Adventures in Awareness™
In the Presence of Horses®
Special sessions with horses encourage meaningful connections to self, to others, and to the larger community. Recent studies show that equine approaches have proven to be especially valuable and beneficial for those dealing with Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, dementia, or depression. This program is available at The Hacienda at the River® and our sister community, The Hacienda at the Canyon®.

Banner Alzheimer’s Institute
The Hacienda is proud to partner with Banner Alzheimer’s Institute to bring expert-led educational events to our community. Through this collaboration, leading physicians and specialists share valuable insights on Alzheimer’s disease research, memory care, and caregiver support. This partnership ensures our members and families have access to the latest information and resources in dementia care.
