Eldercare
SIUE provides an Elder Care Program that supports faculty, staff, and retirees who help their parents, spouses and other older family members. The Elder Care Program provides links and information about elder care. Our goal is to provide resources and information for our employees and retirees to enhance their quality of life.
Elder Care involves many aspects of daily living for older adults, including choosing a physician, understanding housing options, as well as being aware of recreation opportunities. From 25% to 50% of employers now offer elder care assistance services for their employees (CCH Inc., 2007; Human Resource Institute [HRI], 2004; Society for Human Resource management [SHRM], 2007).
