To reduce the risk of public exposure during the COVID-19 pandemic, Benevilla has chosen to convert all their popular education workshops into live stream, online Zoom events.  This free, interactive presentation is part of the yearlong Benevilla community “Virtual Educational” series workshops featuring carefully selected professionals who can answer your questions and provide guidance and resources you may need to prepare for senior life changes, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.  The best part of the workshop series is there is absolutely no sales pitch—just timely information from an expert in the field.  It will feel like you are right there on our Surprise campus talking to our expert partners.  

Benevilla will continue, for the near future, using the online Zoom online format for their workshops.  Upcoming workshops cover a broad range of important topics from in-home care management and hospice to estate preparation and tax savings tips.
