AARP Caring for Caregivers Sweepstakes and Resources
Providing care for a loved one can be a rewarding experience. But caregivers often forget to step back from their responsibilities to make time for their own self-care. Setting aside time for self-care can help a caregiver return to their responsibilities renewed and better able to provide care for their loved one.
That is why AARP is here to remind caregivers to pause and recharge with self-care. We invite you to enter the AARP Caring for Caregivers Sweepstakes for a chance to win a $500 gift card to use for self-care, like a relaxing spa day, or any other activity you consider self-care.
To enter, complete the official sweepstakes entry form.
The last day to enter the sweepstakes is March 31, 2024. No purchase is necessary and AARP membership is not required. See the official Sweepstakes Rules.
AARP also supports caregivers with programming and resources, like the AARP Family Caregiving Guides. The guides are designed to help you develop a caregiving plan for a loved one or friend and are available in different languages.
