Benevilla is excited to announce their second “Caregiver Connect” event of 2019 will be held in Sun City West August 23, 2019. This free educational event provides family caregivers with support and guidance to assist them on their caregiving journey. The Benevilla Caregiver Connect event will be held Friday, August 23rd from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Lord of Life Lutheran Church at 13724 W Meeker Blvd, Sun City West, AZ 85375.

The event will also highlight a unique, interactive panel presentation digging deep into your questions about Medicare and Medicaid.

Family caregivers can get their pressing questions answered and collect free resources from many of our community senior care providers. A Benevilla C.A.R.E.S. Resource Specialist will also be on-site for anyone needing one-on-one support. At the last event, over 45 local senior services providers were on hand to supply critical caregiver information to the attendees. They also offer expert advice and direction on a myriad of topics including senior living options, home care choices, insurance alternatives, elder law and help with government programs.
Benevilla has been helping family caregivers since 1981 when they started their very first crisis counseling service. “The Benevilla founders were aware family caregivers were bearing a heavy burden when caring for their loved ones while trying to keep themselves healthy” says Benevilla President and CEO, Joanne Thomson. “Today, 30-60% of caregivers pass away from illnesses related to caregiver stress before the person they are caring for. That’s why getting family caregivers support and information is crucial for our aging communities and their families.”
Reservations are required. Please call 623-584-4999 to reserve your space today. There will be a complimentary breakfast provided by Birt’s Bistro. Thank you to our Event Series Sponsors: OptumCare Network of Arizona. Also, Thank You to Lord of Life Lutheran Church for providing the space.
