Who is a Caregiver?
Whether it’s an aging parent, a child, a sick spouse, extended family or even a friend, caregivers take on the responsibility of tending to a loved one’s extended and often complex array of care needs in today’s fast-paced, frequently shifting world. Now more than ever, caregivers are taking on multi-faceted, crucial roles that require the right resources that meet them wherever they are in their caregiving journey and continue as those journeys progress and change.
Mother
A sales executive has a 12-year-old daughter who was struggling in school and is regressing with distance learning. Mom doesn’t know how to get her help, and teachers are at a loss. As both parent and employee, Mom’s ability to make sales calls while supporting her daughter is limited.
Father
A software engineer’s seven-year-old son has been diagnosed with Autism. Dad is having issues getting the right resources lined up at a time when school plans are uncertain. It’s impossible for Dad to balance his own workload, while his son is spiraling downward without the proper support.
Daughter
A successful business woman’s mom is failing physically and refuses to go into a facility. The executive and her siblings do not agree on an aging-in-place plan for Mom, and none of them live close by. Getting Mom into a safe and secure place is priority number one.
Self
A still working aging Veteran is feeling the financial pain of his company’s high deductible health plan. He knows there should be other options for him, but it’s too complicated to figure out on his own. His HR department can’t assist him with navigating Medicare, Medicaid, PACE, Veteran’s benefits, or options in his state. His children have been too busy to help.

The first step is gaining relevant knowledge about the situation they face. After creating a profile or asking a question, the platform delivers curated, up-to-date intelligence designed to empower the caregiver to take action.
Our data-driven approach then tracks engagement with the platform to provide greater personalization and support throughout the journey with relevant videos, webinars, podcasts and more.
We also provide one-on-one expert advising and local-level support when critical caregiving needs arise.
Our platform gives employee caregivers the opportunity to learn about their overall effectiveness in their role as caregivers so that they can improve over time.
