When a parent’s health declines, a partner needs support following a hospital stay, or a relative increasingly requires help with daily life, many people suddenly face new challenges. Alongside the emotional strain, organisational issues often arise too – and all this alongside a packed schedule.
In such situations, many of those affected ask themselves: What support is available? How can care be organised? And how can they continue to manage their own working life effectively?
Finding your way in a new situation
Caring for relatives often involves many new tasks, ranging from organising doctor’s appointments and dealing with administrative matters to finding suitable support services. At the same time, there is often a lack of time in daily life to get an overview of potential support options or to make decisions at one’s leisure.
Support from care & co
This is exactly where care & co comes in. This service helps employees find their way in new caregiving situations and identify suitable solutions. Specialists support those affected with questions regarding care, nursing, respite services or organisational steps.
Together, individual options are discussed, and concrete next steps are developed, tailored to the person’s specific circumstances.
Relief for employees and companies
When employees receive support in organising care for relatives, significant relief is provided. Guidance and advice help them to better structure new situations and make decisions with greater confidence.
Companies can also provide concrete support, for example through flexible working hours, temporary adjustments to the workload or by fostering an open culture of dialogue when employees suddenly take on care responsibilities.
care & co by profawo supports companies and employees in finding ways to better balance work and caring for relatives.
