Round trip from Ft. Lauderdale, FL! Join us in January on a dementia-friendly cruise and caregiver retreat to the Southern Caribbean! This Elite-supported voyage invites caregivers and their loved ones to escape the winter weather and have fun in the sun on some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean.

Kathy Shoaf, my incredibly fun partner Dennis Dulniak, and I, Toni Gitles, are your fabulous facilitators at your caregiver conference on the days we are at sea. We are all former and current caregivers and understand what you are going through.

We have an informative and lively program planned for caregivers and family members to increase your knowledge and give you new insights and perspectives in caregiving, complete with practical, easy-to-implement strategies. If your caregiving journey is over and you are moving forward to create your new life, we have support and a specially designed program.


NEW FOR CAREGIVERS: We now feature caregiver breakfasts! Join other caregivers for a breakfast with your new friends while the Elite staff takes over and makes sure your loved ones enjoy their favorite morning foods. You deserve a relaxing start to your day and a chance to enjoy breakfast at your own pace!
