Editor's Notes
Ask: How many of you are currently helping care for an older family member? Or do you know of anyone who it a family caregiver? There was a time when work-life issues were all about kids. When Baby boomers began entering the work-force, there was an influx of women with small children. So the whole work-life balance issue was about child care. Now, another demographic trend taking center stage is promising to have an even bigger impact on U.S. Business. So the question now is: IS ELDERCARE THE NEW CHILDCARE? According to a 2006 MetLife Mature Market Institute study, nearly 60% of those caring for a senior adult are employed most of them – full time. As the world’s leading Home Care Provider, HISC has a passion and comitment to provide quality home care for the aging parents and relatives of working families. So if you are one of those 60% caring for a family member and also working……….you are not alone.
