Services for businesses
Forward-looking businesses recognize
elder care as an employee issue, now and in the future. We provide
businesses with services relating to this need, including:
Why should companies be concerned with
Eldercare?
It’s simply a matter of demographics and good business!
A national survey of U.S. companies found
that an average of 25% of all working adults have a “second job” – to help
provide
help for their aging family members. Seventy four percent this “second
job” caused problems at work. Nearly half reported stress, more personal
phone calls during the day, or the need for extra days off from work to
take care of emergencies.
Another survey quantified this lost time,
phone calls, and late arrivals can cost a company more than nine hours
each month per caregiver.
Most caregivers range form 30 to 55 years
of age – prime employment ages. More than half also have children at home.
These baby boomers are now the Sandwich Generation, caught in the middle
of caring for the needs of children and parents.
As our labor force ages and more women, the
traditional caregivers for children and the elderly, enter the workplace
the impact of eldercare issues will continue to grow. Like childcare
during the 70’s and 80’s, eldercare is the business of the 90’s and
beyond.
