At the MIT Work-Life Center, we understand that caring for an aging loved one can be challenging.
At times, it can feel like you’re lost at sea without a compass. But the right guidance and support, can help you navigate such challenges … and even leave you with some immensely rewarding experiences.
The Work-Life Center has developed comprehensive benefits for those who are currently caring for aging loved ones and those who may be doing so in the future. Our goal is to provide you and your family with solutions to those caregiving challenges so that you can focus on being there for your loved one.
Planning and support
Our expanded Adult & Senior Care Services through Care.com—available to current benefits-eligible MIT faculty and staff, postdoc associates and postdoc fellows—can provide you with the help you need to care for family members.
Backup adult and senior care
All MIT benefits-eligible faculty, staff, and postdoctoral fellows can receive backup care at home through Care.com BackupCare, provided by Parents in a Pinch. Whether the need is child care, care for an aging parent, another family member who needs assistance, or even yourself, consider Care.com BackupCare, provided by Parents in a Pinch.
