Employee Assistance Program Referral Partner — Elder Care
Working adults facing parent care crises are among the most stressed employees in any workforce. An EAP that can refer to a trusted senior placement specialist offers meaningful help when it matters most.
Employee Assistance Programs increasingly receive calls from employees dealing with elder care crises — a parent fell and can’t go home from the hospital, a mother with dementia is no longer safe alone, a long-distance family member needs placement guidance from across the country. These calls require senior care expertise that EAP counselors typically don’t have. A referral to a senior placement specialist gives EAP clients substantive help with the practical problem while the EAP counselor addresses the emotional and workplace dimensions.
Why Partner With Erika
Workforce Elder Care Support
Elder care stress is a leading cause of employee absenteeism and productivity loss. Connecting employees to expert placement support addresses the root cause — not just the symptoms.
Crisis-Ready Response
Parent care crises don’t schedule themselves. I respond same-day, move quickly, and can work with long-distance employees managing a Texas placement from another state.
Complementary to EAP Counseling
EAP counselors handle the emotional and workplace dimensions; I handle the care planning and logistics. Together we address the whole situation.
How It Works
Employee contacts EAP with elder care concern
An employee calls their EAP with a parent care crisis — discharge from hospital, parent no longer safe at home, need for immediate placement guidance.
EAP counselor refers to me
The EAP counselor handles the emotional support and workplace connection, then refers the employee to me for the practical care planning work.
I work with the employee to solve the placement problem
I conduct a detailed intake, explain Texas care options, and handle placement logistics — even for employees who are long-distance from their parent’s location.
Employee returns to work with problem solved
With the parent care situation resolved, the employee’s workplace stress and absenteeism reduce. The EAP has delivered on its core value proposition.
