Workplace Options, the largest provider of work-life employee benefits in America, announced today that its Care Coach service won a 2006 Caregiver Friendly award from Today’s Caregiver magazine.
Caregiver Friendly Awards are presented by Today’s Caregiver magazine to celebrate outstanding books, media, products and services designed with the best interest of the family caregiver in mind.
Care Coach, launched by Workplace Options in 2005, pairs families who are caring for an aging family member with a professional geriatric care manager during a telephonic “family meeting” facilitated by Workplace Options. The Geriatric Care Manager explains available options and builds consensus among the family members. Once consensus is reached, Workplace Options’ Geriatric Care Manager will coordinate a care plan, work to resolve any outstanding issues, and is available for ongoing contact from the family.
Care Coach addresses a critical need among caregivers that is not currently being met through traditional employee benefit programs that simply refer caregivers to geriatric care management services. While these benefits can help employee caregivers find resources and information and assess caregiving needs, they do not help facilitate communication among family members. Bringing family members together in a facilitated “family meeting” can result in a more unified approach to care planning. This leads to a reduction of caregiver stress and better care for the aging family member.
“The average caregiver is responsible for over ,000 in health-related expenditures each year, in either personal or directed funds,” says Gary Barg, Today’s Caregiver magazine’s Editor-in-Chief. “This award is designed to help family caregivers recognize and reward those organizations who will care for them in as committed a manner as they care for their loved ones.”
“Our organization clearly understands the value of supporting family caregivers, as evidenced by this award,” says Alan King, president of Workplace Options. “Care Coach not only helps caregivers care for their loved ones but also improves the caregiver’s quality of life in the process. We are delighted that Today’s Caregiver has recognized this innovative and important service.”

The Dementia Caregiver’s Toolbox, a blog for family and professional caregivers of persons with dementia, was named one of the top five internet sites for “candid and informational dementia content” by HealthCentral.com. Susan E. Lanza, the blog’s editor, is a dementia expert, author, international speaker, nursing home administrator and consultant.
“Bringing more positive attention to the special needs of dementia caregivers is a mission I completely support. There are many great blogs and websites out there which cater to the growing numbers of dementia caregivers, so I am proud to be named one of the best for 2007,” states Lanza.
The Dementia Caregiver’s Toolbox Blog was started as an offshoot of the highly successful mini gift book that Lanza wrote in 2006 called, “Nurturing Nuggets For Dementia Caregivers,” which was published by her own publishing company, Buttonberry Books of Lebanon, NJ. “Writing a gift book just for dementia caregivers was a more effective way for me to donate to dementia causes like the Alzheimer’s Association since I pledged to donate a portion of the profits of each book,” states Lanza. The book was named a finalist in the USA 2007 Book Awards and the Eric Hoffer Awards.
As “Nurturing Nuggets For Dementia Caregivers” prepared for a second printing, Lanza created the blog, The Dementia Caregiver’s Toolbox, as a way of providing “a great site for news snippets, caregiving tips and product reviews for professional and family caregivers who want to keep up with the world of dementia.” “My next book will actually be called The Dementia Caregiver’s Toolbox and will exclusively focus on techniques, ideas, anything that will help caregivers improve the quality of life for those with dementia,” says Lanza. “My experiences as a nursing home administrator starting a dementia unit with my team as well as all the stories out in the field from my classes will provide some much needed info for caregivers,” continues Lanza.
