ABOUT OUR BUSINESS
AgingInfoUSA offers ongoing Elder Care seminars and educational programs inside corporations designed around the individual needs of their employees.

OUR UNIQUENESS
At any given time, more than 21 percent of the workforce is dealing with a care giving situation. We address this growing challenge through a confidential online survey of employees followed by programs we customize to their specific requests.

IDEAL CLIENT PROFILE
The CEO or Human Resource Director of a mid-sized to large corporation in the Chicagoland area would be the perfect client for us.

UNIQUE BUSINESS CHALLENGE
As the number of elderly in the United States continues to grow with the Baby Boomers aging, the issue of employee caregivers will be amplified. This growth will intensify the amount of lost revenue - $17-$33 billion annually - for companies due to decreased productivity, caregiver stress, FMLA leave, and other stress-related health issues of caregivers. Our challenge is to prepare our company to be at the forefront of this crisis by developing the right resources for employees and companies alike.

EFFECTIVE RESOLUTION
We have devised an ongoing educational series, developed resources and planned events that assist in employee retention, factor in the decrease of FMLA for elder care and help create a more satisfied workforce. Among these are elder care seminars held at corporations, employee wellness events, on-site support, and links to established resources. By doing so, AgingInfoUSA has been able to stay atop our industry as the champion of caregiver employees.
