While the surge is notable, it's less drastic than in previous years. The national median rate for assisted living now stands at $64,200 annually. Home health aide services saw a significant increase of 15.38%, with an average hourly rate of $33. Detailed findings from over 11,000 surveys are available through Genworth's online tool for further insights.

This article was great reading. Navigating the healthcare system can be intimidating. Trying to understand the unknown, such as insurance override, Medicare resources, DMEs, Home Health, etc., coupled with the anxiety of a loved one sudden illness, is overwhelming and traumatizing. As an experienced care manager, I recently went through a scenario with a family member dear to my heart. Fortunately, I was able to advocate and ask the right questions. It left me wondering about other elders and frail adults who need a care manager or an advocate while in the hospital. What happens when an attending physician or nurse pushes them out because the hospital bed is needed? What happens when older adults or family members trust that the healthcare system has their best interest in mind? A care manager or simply an informed advocate can make a difference to help alleviate the madness.

What is caregiving costing your organization? For US employers, family #caregiving equates to $17-33 billion in annual losses due to #absenteeism, #presenteesim, and lost #productivity. What is the impact on your employees? For women, the lifetime wages lost to caregiving is $330,00...and family caregivers are more likely to suffer negative health impacts from the stresses. One strategy is to work with care managers. Often people think that they cannot afford a #caremanager, IF they have even heard of one. We recommend that people look at working with care managers strategically--beginning with conducting a cost:benefit analysis. Can your employees physically, emotionally, and financially shoulder the burden of care themselves? Do you offer care managers as an employee resource or benefit? Does your #EAP enable #familycaregivers to be successful both at home and at work? Does your #esgreporting reflect this? Visit our website to learn more and to schedule a time to discuss the possibilities https://lnkd.in/ekkKUnur Improve their lives, improve your bottom line. #olderworkers #silverbraindrain #silverexodus
