Eldercare Benefits

Eldercare support your employees will actually use

An eldercare benefit only works if employees use it before the crisis. Tammy helps benefits teams design, evaluate, and promote eldercare support that fits how families really make these decisions.

The gap in most eldercare benefits

Employees often don’t realize they need help until a fall, a diagnosis, or a hospital discharge. By then they are choosing in-home care or a facility in days, often from another state. A benefit that’s just a phone number and a directory doesn’t meet them there.

How Tammy helps

Benefit review — what you offer now, where employees drop off, and what’s missing
Vendor evaluation — clinical questions to ask eldercare navigation and care-coordination vendors (Tammy has no vendor affiliations)
Employee education — workshops on signs a parent needs help, in-home versus facility care, and hiring a caregiver
Decision tools — the Care Map Method needs assessment and caregiver interview guides, licensed for your employees
Launch support — sessions and content timed to open enrollment or National Family Caregivers Month

The framework

Map

Name the real needs: biological, emotional, social, environmental.

Match

Fit the care, program, or person to those needs.

Merge

Bring the new support into daily life without chaos.

Manage

Check in, adjust, and keep it working as needs change.

Questions buyers ask

Do you replace an eldercare navigation vendor?

No. Tammy helps you pick, shape, and promote the right support. She adds the clinical lens and the education that drives use.

Can employees get one-on-one help?

Yes. Coaching sessions on eldercare decisions can be offered as part of a program. Therapy is kept separate and is only provided in states where Tammy is licensed.

Is this a placement service?

No. Tammy doesn’t place caregivers or receive referral fees. She helps families make the decision well.

The books behind the method

Tammy wrote Secrets of the Nanny Whisperer (Penguin) and the Care Map Method™ book series, a structured framework for family care from infancy through the teen years and into eldercare. The same framework is what organizations license, teach, and build programs on.
