Elder Care

Many adults find themselves sandwiched between caring for an aging parent and raising young children. Often this is complicated by trying to be a full time professional.

In fact, 14.4 million full and part-time workers are balancing care-giving and job responsibilities. (The MetLife Study of Employer Cost for Working Caregivers, 1997; as cited by the Family Caregiver Alliance.)

Additionally, 85% of all home care is provided by family members and friends. (As reported by the US Accounting Office, 1994.)
