We deliver the same program and while many employers are cutting benefits, this is one program that isn't being cut. Our telephonic care managers are social workers with a lot of geriatric experience and when I hear them talk about cases, they always mention their therapeutic approach. They address the feelings, concerns, thoughts that the caregiver is having then take care of the real-life needs of who's going to bathe Mom now and how are they going to make sure that Dad is getting regular meals. We're people first and it's important a service like CareGuide@Home (and our competitors) are focused on that.

I was fortunate that my employer was generous with the time I had to spend on my parents' care. It would be great if this program was replicated nationwide. The free counseling and referral service is a real plus. The stress of working while caregiving cannot be overestimated.
