According to a 2006 study from the MetLife Mature Market Institute, nearly 60% of those caring for an elderly or disabled family member are in the workforce, and that number is certain to grow as the average lifespan increases and more workers are caught between needing to care for both children and parents.
Caring for a sick or elderly parent can really take its toll on an individual’s emotional resources and time thus contributing to poor work performance and absenteeism. Taking a parent to the doctor, speaking with social workers and managing insurance claims usually need to be done during work hours. Actual caregiving is typically done before and after work and can quickly lead an individual to suffer from burn out.
As a key recruiting and retention tool, more and more companies are offering benefits to help employees with their personal lives. We work with businesses to provide provide temporary non-medical in home assistance and care coordination services when there's a breakdown in home care arrangements.
