Company DescriptionCare is critical. 73% of Americans provide caregiving support for loved ones, but finding quality, affordable care is a significant challenge for many. This lack of care substantially impacts employee work productivity, wellbeing, and retention. 87% of caregivers have missed work due to a lack of available care, and 20% have quit or reduced their hours.

Care's employer-sponsored family care benefits provide unparalleled support for the diverse caregiving needs of employees regardless of who they are caring for: children, adult loved ones, pets, or themselves. Our trusted, flexible and innovative caregiving platform empowers employees to find holistic care options that fit their unique needs and budgets.
