Adult & Eldercare Search
Currently 1 in 7 employees in the UK combine work with caring for a dependent, whether elderly or disabled. 90% of these employees are aged 30 plus, a prime time in their working lives*
Combining work+family can be difficult at the best of times, but for people who realise they need to find a care solution for an aging parent or close relative, life can be especially tough.
Why are eldercare solutions so important?
Negotiating the emotional, legal and financial minefields of finding a care solution can be really disruptive to both work and family life. With the right care support, successfully combining work and family can be a reality.
How can Adult & Eldercare Search help?
Employees will have a local expert to turn to when they need to find an adult or eldercare solution, or have any dependent care related questions. Our Care Search consultants are available to listen, advise and assist in finding practical care solutions.

Retaining talented individuals
When employees reach an age when finding care solutions for dependent relatives is necessary, most often elderly parents, they're likely to be a highly experienced and valuable resource. Supporting them with practical help goes along way to ensure their retention.
Creating engaged and productive employees
Finding the right care for dependents is one of the most stressful challenges to be faced. When employees know that trusted care that fits around their work and family is in place, they're more likely to be focused and stress-free at work.
