      The companies’ president, Robert Ware, settled in Central Delaware when he was stationed at Dover Air Force Base. Enjoying the community and surrounding area, Robert decided to make Delaware his home and felt called to serve the community. Merry Maids and Home Instead Senior Care are proud to be a part of the Central Delaware Community. Robert and his team are always excited to find ways to give back. Home Instead Senior Care and Merry Maids enjoy their partnerships with national associations on a local level as they participate on the Walk to End ALZ Committee (Alzhiemer’s Association) and the Heart Ball (American Heart Association). The two companies collaborated to begin the local observance of Rae Day, a day designed to honor the life of the late Rae Short by giving back to those in the community. In addition, they are happy to support Go Pink each year. During the Holiday season, the companies sponsor “Be a Santa to a Senior,” an effort intended to give back to isolated seniors. Home Instead Senior Care and Merry Maids look forward to partnering with local charities and community members for years to come.
