To save time and money, companies roll out caregiving benefits WorldAtWork
NEW YORK - When Laura Hirsch of Keller Texas had to find a rehabilitation center to help her father recover from a difficult surgery in September, the caregiving service Cariloop saved her a whole day.
“She saved me all of that,” said Hirsch, a private customer who pays $600 a year to Cariloop. The benefit of such a service is now starting to draw many companies to offer caregiving services to employees. Best Buy also implemented paid caregiver leave of up to four weeks for loved ones. Last week, the Richfield, Minnesota based company announced it is rolling out paid time off for part-time workers.
A service like Wellthy will step in and help a family coordinate caregiving. While an employee can call up with something as simple as finding an allergist, the biggest impact is dealing with complex care situations like dementia, said Wellthy founder and CEO Lindsay Jurist-Rosner.
