Support a better quality of life for your
employees and a better bottom line for your
business with employer-sponsored personal
in-home care benefits.
73% of employees reported having some type of current caregiving responsibilities.
Employees caring for a loved one provide an average of 20 caregiving hours per week.
32% of all employees have voluntarily left a job due to caregiving responsibilities.
Employees with caregiving responsibilities are stressed and distracted, often arriving to work late, rearranging their work schedules, and requesting unplanned time away from the office. Caring for someone recovering from surgery at home, for example, can be stressful, which leads to distraction and ultimately lower productivity. Lower productivity costs your business money - lots of it.
A HubSpot report found that lost productivity costs U.S. businesses a shocking $1.8 trillion every year.
Beyond that, this stress negatively impacts your employees’ quality of life, leading to higher turnover rates.
“Employers are in a race to attract and retain the best talent and the growing presence of caregivers in the workplace represents both a threat to their success and an opportunity,” notes Debra Lerner, MSc, PhD in her whitepaper, Invisible Overtime: What employers need to know about caregivers.
Employee Caregivers are emotionally and mentally distracted. Caregiving responsibilities impair their ability to perform their best at work.
Reliable caregiver support is a fundamental element of well-being for your employees that is often overlooked. In fact, 80% of employees with caregiving responsibilities admitted that caregiving affected their productivity, according to a Harvard Study.

Frequently Asked Questions
Employer-sponsored personal in-home care is when an employer provides resources and support to their employees who need assistance at home with activities of daily living, such as medication reminders, meal prep, ambulation, grooming, etc.... That assistance can be financial and may also extend to the employees’ family members.
Carefluent offers several easy, cost-effective options for employers to provide this important caregiving benefit to their employees. We will set up your employees’ accounts and provide access to our specialized network of thoroughly screened in-home Care Companions. Your employees will then be able to personalize their search criteria, interview, and select an in-home Care Companion that meets their preferences and needs. We will also provide regular reporting so you can monitor usage.
All Carefluent in-home Care Companions must meet our strict eligibility criteria, complete several assessments, then undergo a thorough background check and drug screening process. Only after successful completion of those requirements are the in-home Care Companions permitted to create a full profile on the Carefluent platform and be presented for consideration by a Careseeker. Carefluent has a carefully curated network of highly qualified in-home Care Companions.
The average business will pay $500 per year, per employee, to contribute towards the cost of personalized in-home care. Some employers increase the benefit amount for their executive leaders. In all instances, employees pay directly for services once they have exhausted the employer-sponsored amount.
HSAs, HRAs, and FSAs may be used to pay for qualified caregiving services expenses for dependents. Employees should consult their tax professional for more detailed information.
Currently, Carefluent does not accept other subsidies, but we hope to do so in the near future.
