The facility is a two-story structure, owned by Saint Alphonsa Catholic Church. The church has a separate detached building, next to the day program. There is a shared parking lot for both buildings. There is a chapel on the first floor which is inaccessible to the day program. LPA observed a locked gate leading to second floor; the entire second floor is for church use only and is inaccessible to the day program. The day program building consists of a reception area, two offices, three storage rooms, two kitchens, 4 bathrooms (1 for staff and 3 for clients) and a shaded patio patio.

There is a central entry point located at the front, designated to screen all participants, staff, and visitors. There is the main entry door and a side exit, but the entry door is used as the main exit. The program site is clean, sanitary, and in good condition, all furnishings are in good repair with ample lighting. There are seven fire extinguishers throughout and all the fire extinguishers were charged on August 4, 2024.
