Larkin’s Eldercare Services
Larkin’s eldercare services put you at the forefront of the leave and benefits arena. Though a relatively recent addition to benefit offerings, its significance is undeniable. According to AARP, “32% of employees have left a job to take care of an older family member with daily living needs. And almost 25% of workers have quit work to take care of an ill or disabled spouse, partner or extended family member.”
Larkin has partnered with Ways and Wane to offer clients and their employees this invaluable service. It complements our family leave benefits, allowing employees to access eldercare support without needing time off. Such eldercare services assist employees before, during, or after a leave of absence.

This service allows your employees to support their children and other family members who depend on them for care. By partnering with Larkin, your employees can better address their care responsibilities while remaining engaged and focused at work.
