NEW YORK, April 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Aloe Care
Health, makers of the first voice-activated, comprehensive solution
for elder communication and safety, today announced the
availability of Aloe Care as an employer-sponsored benefit. Its
family caregiver app provides at-a-glance peace of mind with
insights gleaned from Aloe Care's safety and communication devices.
With 30 million Americans providing care while also working
full-time[4], Aloe Care alleviates many of
the physical, emotional and financial stresses they face given
their dual roles. Additionally, employers who provide supportive
benefits will attract and retain a workforce that is more diverse
and less stressed.

"The past year has taken an extraordinary toll on family
caregivers and independent older adults, bringing long-standing
issues into sharp focus," said Ray
Spoljaric, CEO and co-founder of Aloe Care Health.
"Caregiving support is the benefit most crucially needed today.
Employers who meet that need will not only attract better, more
diverse talent, their existing teams will be happier and more
productive. Best of all? Elders will stay safer and more connected.
It's the ultimate win-win-win."
A quarter of the U.S. workforce is employed full-time while
managing the care of parents or other elders. On average, these
employees dedicate 24-hours per week to caregiving, and 70% suffer
work-related difficulties due to their dual
roles.[5] Caregiving responsibilities fall
disproportionately on women and people of color, and by eliminating
the boundaries between personal and professional lives, the
pandemic has put their careers at risk. More than one in four women
are considering downsizing their careers or leaving the workforce
entirely in order to focus on caregiving.
"Companies of all sizes that partner with Aloe Care can lead the
charge in providing employee benefits that are reflective of life
today," added Paul Rooney, Executive
Vice President of Business Development at Aloe Care. "Fewer than
10% of employees say their companies offer an eldercare
benefit,[6] creating an opportunity for those
that do to position themselves as leaders and innovators in the
work/life space."
Aloe Care has received numerous accolades from PC Magazine, The
Senior List, Today's Caregiver, and MD Tech Review, among others.
Its most popular offering, Essentials Plus, delivers in-home and
on-the-go protection for independent older adults and features the
new Aloe Care Mobile Companion (AT&T LTE); also available as a
stand-alone product:
- An add-on to the company's proprietary voice-activated Smart
Hub for a holistic view into elders' well-being, the Mobile
Companion features wearable fall detection, two-way calls and
nationwide location updates.
- The system requires only a power source to work. No
installation assistance is needed.
- Every Aloe Care solution comes with a free, secure family app
for unlimited users to facilitate improved remote caregiving.
- The Aloe Care app displays elders' activity and in-home
environmental conditions, includes advanced care collaboration
tools, and gives caregivers the ability to make crystal-clear
check-in calls to the home's Smart Hub.
