Home Instead offers cruise for Delaware family caregivers

Vote by Aug. 24 for deserving caregiver
July 18, 2013

Delaware residents are invited to nominate deserving family caregivers - including themselves - for the opportunity to win a free, four-night, five-day cruise.

Home Instead Inc., franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Care network, is sponsoring the cruise for one lucky caregiving hero and guest. Submit nominations and vote by Saturday, Aug. 24 at cruise.caregiverstress.com.

The Caregiver Cruise is scheduled for Feb. 3 to 7, 2014, on the Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas. The cruise will set sail from Cape Canaveral, Fla., with stops in CocoCay and Nassau, Bahamas. In addition to the cruise, the winning recipient will receive 40 hours of free care from a Home Instead Senior Care professional caregiver for his or her senior loved one while away.

“The stress of caregiving can have debilitating effects not only on family caregivers, but also on the older adults who are receiving that care,” said President Jeff Huber of Home Instead Inc. “That’s why it’s important for caregivers to take care of themselves. And what better way to do that than during a tropical getaway.”

The cruise offers a relaxing retreat with a number of optional activities such as putt-putt golf, cocktail hour, cupcake decorating and scavenger hunts, along with support groups and one-on-one consultations with family caregiving expert Dr. Amy D’Aprix.
