Growing Need
Why do brokers need Caregiver Support? There are roughly 50M seniors today, by 2060 there will be an estimated 95 million. Of the current labor force, 24M employees are caregivers. Most importantly 61% of employed caregivers have workplace accommodations – this potential audience represents families in need. Employers want to help solve this issue as it grows year over year!
Employee Absenteeism
It’s estimated that 1 out of 3 employees have left a position to care for a relative. Of which, 80% of employees admitted that caregiving affects their productivity. Providing family caregivers with expert advice improves the wellbeing of these employed caregivers, and when family caregivers are educated and empowered, their wellbeing and absenteeism improve.

Online questionnaires help caregivers identify and prioritize their concerns about their family member’s quality of life and wellbeing so that employers can successfully support their staff and their families.
Caregivers are the glue that connects vulnerable adults living with complex medical, functional, and behavioral challenges to the support they need. As the United States faces a severe shortage of nurses and physicians and people continue to live longer with more complex health challenges, the role of family caregivers will only grow in influence.
