Back up care for working families:

Below are key findings from the 2008 Back up Care Survey conducted by Work Options Group. 

The question asked was, “If back-up care was not offered, what would you have done?”

• 71 percent would have missed work to provide care for their loved one
• 14 percent would have conducted an independent search for short-term care
• 13 percent would have asked friends or family to provide care for their loved one
• 2 percent said they worked from home, changed their work schedule or brought their child to work.

Work Options Group serves as a third-party liaison to link employees of companies with a network of service contractors who can help them provide back-up care for loved ones of any age – from infants and school-aged children, to adults and seniors.

One of those contractors who works on behalf of seniors is Home Instead Senior Care, an international franchise company with 800 offices worldwide.  The company’s CAREGivers go into the homes and care communities of older adults to keep them independent.  Through these types of relationships, you could locate the help you need in a moment’s notice.
