Each year, US employers lose an estimated $11.4 billion in productivity from full-time employees who must take time off from work to fulfill their duties as caregivers. According to the US General Accounting Office, caregiving is a family affair, with 80 percent of all care provided to older adults in the United States being done so by a family member. Although businesses are seeing an increase in care giving-related staffing problems, many do not have a plan in place to assist the caregivers.
