title: Integrating contributory elder-care benefits with voluntary long-term care insurance programs.
abstract: Caregiving for aging parents or other disabled family members takes a heavy toll on work and family life, as well as the company bottom line. Research reveals that the two primary responses to elder-care issues in the workplace are employer-paid consultation and referral programs, and employee-paid long-term care insurance (LTCI) plans.
