Benevia Saves Time and Reduces the Stress of Eldercare

One in four working Americans care for an elder relative, friend or neighbor and face time away from work and home responsibilities, staggering costs and related stress. Benevia (www.benevia.com), a service that coordinates transitions, such as relocations, home care needs and professional services for older adults, their families and caregivers, offers key factors to consider when tackling elder care transitions.

“In addition to taking time away from work, there are several components that compound family stresses during an elder care transition, such as identifying the multitude of services needed, and then selecting safe and reliable providers,” said Benevia Co-founder Eric Rovner. “Benevia understands the overwhelming impact of elder care transitions and guides consumers and caregivers through the maze of decisions, coordinating everything from trash hauling, shredding, estate sales, home modifications and moves to home care and legal and financial strategies.”

Working American’s can expect to take at least 5 to 7 days away from work to oversee a major elder care transition.

Two key factors to consider when tackling a major elder care transition 

• Simplify the process by taking advantage of expert and time-saving help.
• Reduce stress and lost wages due to time away from work by leaving the mountain of details to experienced professionals.
