Corporate Elder Care Program Assists South Florida Companies

Seventeen percent (17%) of caregivers quit their jobs to provide care for aging
family members, and another 15 percent reduce their work hours to assist their
loved ones.
This shocking loss of employee productivity is hitting South
Florida businesses very hard as more Boomers have senior parents who require
caregiving.
To stop this workforce hemorrhaging South Florida companies
are looking for methods to provide assistance in caregiving to employees to keep
them on the job and productive, while being sensitive to the needs of the
employee.
There have been attempts at Corporate Elder Care programs,
however few as comprehensive at A Good Daughter, (www.agooddaughter.com) based
in Margate.
According to Olga Brunner, President, "Our Corporate Elder
Care program was developed to help employees balance job responsibilities and
caregiving. Our Professional Care Managers plan and organize care and services
for the employees of Broward and Palm Beach elderly population, affording
families a peace of mind that their loved ones will find and secure services
such as ongoing supervision of certified home care assistants, home maintenance
and care, medication supervision, coordination of medical appointments and
representation at these appointments, legal counsel, specialized air travel
escorts, and many other services."
While A Good Daughter works with
individuals, the Corporate Elder Care program is ideally suited to the mid-sized
company with fifty plus employees.
The impact of Elder Care issues on
corporate America will continue to grow as our elderly population increases: --
Employees juggling job responsibilities with care giving are a reality in the
workplace of today and the future. Workers are torn between the demands of their
job and the ability to provide quality care to their relative. --One out of
three American workers is also managing the care of an older relative. --Loss of
productivity resulting from time off to care for an aging relative is estimated
at $6,100 per employee per year. -- Caregiver stress accounts for a 27 percent
increase in use of company health insurance benefits.
