When Senior Care Becomes a Workplace Issue

According to the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP, more than 65 million people in the United States provide an average of 20 hours per week of care for an elderly, chronically ill, or disabled loved one. Additionally, 70% of employees who provide care for a loved one suffer work-related issues as a result. These issues could be impacting your business’s bottom line.

Employees who are caregivers are more likely to:

Miss work or come in late/leave early
Experience significant productivity loss
Take unpaid leaves of absence or use personal or sick days to provide care

The bottom line: Caregivers need help. Connecting employees to professional senior care providers reduces stress, improves work-life balance, and enhances employee productivity by 50% because it allows them to stay on the job, miss fewer work days, and remain focused at work.

Our Vetting Process

Quality and professionalism are of the utmost importance to us; that’s why we have a strict vetting process in place for all the providers with whom we work.

All our senior care providers must provide:

Confirmation of licensure in good standing
Verification of up-to-date liability insurance
Confirmation that provider is not on a government watch list

Verification that provider is performing criminal background checks and obtaining professional references on all employees
And more

Solutions for Employees, Savings for Businesses

The return on investment of our Senior Care Network program is significant. The time, money, and knowledge lost when employees under-perform or leave because of family caregiving responsibilities is far more costly.

A full-time employee caring for a parent costs an employer over $2,100 annually (AARP Metlife Study)
Every $1 spent on senior care workplace solutions yields a return of $3-$14 in productivity, retention, and reduced absenteeism (Society for Human Resource Management)

We work directly with a company’s human resources team or Employee Assistance Program (EAP), and we are available to provide in-person presentations and consultations about our program to your management team.
