Medical
Located in the center of our community, our medical clinic is a two exam room facility that houses our 24/7 nursing as well as our physicians. Two local physicians take care of our individuals’ primary care needs weekly, while several specialized physicians come out monthly to provide care for: neurology, podiatry, psychiatry, and optometry.
Dental
At our day training facility, we also have a full Dental Clinic where a local dentist and hygienist come out every week to give our individuals the dental care needed.
Therapy
Also at DT, we have an OT/PT arena fully staffed with occupational, physical, and speech therapists, COTAS and several other specialists in this field, to make sure our individuals are getting the best care possible.
Located a mile off of our main campus, our Developmental Training Center promotes independence while allowing each individual to gain skills that will help them grow and become a desirable employee. From sheltered workshop production areas, to small classroom settings, our facility provides each individual the right space and setting to be able to appropriately develop their own skills. Some of the programs we offer include janitorial work, baking, fine motor skill development, and much more. We also have a specialized program setting for those who are ready to “retire.”
Buzy Bee Bakery
Through employment at Buzy Bee Bakery, individuals learn new skills, are able to reach goals and function at their highest possible level. Each person has opportunities to learn according to his or her abilities.
A variety of baked goods can be found at The Shoppes at Beverly Farm. The coffee shop is located on Beverly Farm’s main campus. Local businesses in the Riverbend area employ Beverly Farm workers through contracts for bakery services.

Some recreation activities include swimming, horticulture, art club, yoga, theater, dances, bingo, karaoke, and so many others. Special Olympics is one of the biggest activities our individuals participate in, with five options: track & field, equestrian, bocce, softball, bowling.
