Background

Six in Ten family caregivers are employed.

 ( Met Life Study of Working Caregivers and Employer Health Costs: February, 2010)

66% have had to make some adjustments to their work life, from reporting late to giving up work entirely; and 20% have had to take a leave of absence.

Elder care is estimated to cost employers in absenteeism, turnover, and lost productivity approximately $1200.00 per employee per year. ( According to another Met Life Study).

• Senior Assistance can save your company money
• Senior Assistance can enhance your company’s recruitment and retention efforts and employee morale
• Senior Assistance can help your company be considered by your employees as "family friendly"
• Senior Assistance can provide creative solutions for your company’s eldercare programs by designing a program that meets your needs.

This can be accomplished by:

• Lunch-and-Learn educational programs so that employees know what they may face in the future.
• Information and Referral through a confidential toll free hotline number so that the employee can access up to date informationwithout having to make numerous calls and taking time off.
• Access to a Patient Advocate that can provide help to your employees getting through the bureaucratic maze and getting them the quality care and services they deserve for them and their families.
