Backup eldercare as an employee benefit

As your parents or other family members age, you will have many challenges. Will your mother slip on the ice and need a few weeks of home care? Will you need temporary care for your confused grandfather as he waits for a bed in an assisted living facility? Will you need short-term help for your spouse who is recovering from surgery?

Juggling the care of an elder family member with your job responsibilities is stressful; however, your employer has arranged for a backup eldercare benefit to alleviate this stress.
