Elder Care Choices
A premier resource addressing the needs of working caregivers.
Local Presence, National Reach
Elder Care Choices is an employee benefit provided by subscribing companies. The service is designed to save employees time in identifying and locating appropriate resources related to caregiving, such as Medicare options and long-term care for a loved one. It was developed in 1995 in response to a growing demand within the local business community for a program to help employees manage and balance their work and caregiving responsibilities. A consortium of the area’s leading employers worked with Senior Services to create this innovative service.
“My problem was tricky, and I suspected there wasn’t much more that could be done. Elder Care Choices confirmed that suspicion but did offer additional ways to help handle the problem, which I really appreciate.” -Elder Care Choices Client
Since its inception, the program has grown and expanded as more employers are realizing the dramatic impact that caregiving can have on their staff members and workplace efficiency.
