title: Eldercare benefits offered by the best companies to work for in America.
abstract: The top 100 companies to work for in American were surveyed to determine what eldercare benefits they offer to employees and retirees. Benefits that allow employees flexibility (leave, time off, part time work, flextime, flexplace) were most frequently offered. Information and referral services (telephone, seminars, consultation) were less frequently available. Direct care services (home care, day care, case management) were seldom offered. The most frequently offered benefit for retirees was health insurance.
