Enhanced Resource & Referral Service
for Employers
The
Child Care Council of Westchester's enhanced child
and elder care resource and referral services provide
in-depth, individualized information to your employees.
Your employees will work directly with a local specialist
who has knowledge of the providers, services, costs
and regulations that make up the dependent care delivery
system. As a result, your employees are saved time
as well as frustration and receive the support and
information they need.
Expert Guidance in finding Child Care
It's hard to know what to look for when trying
to find quality child care. Our child care specialists
discuss the individual needs of families, and then
explain the care options available to them. We educate
them on what to look for in quality child care. We
search our computerized database to find the providers
in the tri-state area who most closely match those
individual needs. The programs are then called to
see if they have an opening for your employee's child.
Ongoing support is provided to your employees thoughout
their search for care.
Assisting
When Older Relatives Need Care
We can help your employees learn about care not
only for their parents, but also older relatives and
adults with special needs in their extended families.
Elder care services include information and referrals
on: Medicare and Medicaid, Nursing homes, legal and
financial services, adult day care, volunteer opportunities,
meals on wheels, home health care information and
more. Ongoing support is provided to your employees
throughout their search
for adult services.

How
will your employees benefit from the services?
• Access
to Local Experts
It's our belief that your employees will benefit most
from speaking directly to local experts. These are
specialists who live and work in the areas where your
employees will need services. They know the local
communities, the commuting patterns, how to access
public subsidies and what special services are available
for special needs children and disabled adults. Working
with local, community-based resource and referral
agencies our corporate child care service includes
referrals to child care programs in the entire metro
New York area including: the counties of Nassau, Suffolk,
Putnam, Rockland and Dutchess, southern Connecticut,
Northern New Jersey and the 5 New York City boroughs.
Elder care services are provided in partnership with
local agencies throughout the country with an expertise
in that area.
As
an employer, you will have the benefit of our child
and elder care specialists being available to introduce
themselves to your employees and present information
about their services at your work site- a particular
advantage when a referral service is a new employee
benefit. They can participate if your company has
a benefits or health fair or a special event such
as a camp fair. And they can present seminars on topics
of interest to your employees.
•
Up to Date Information
The child and elder care referral agencies maintain
their own databases of providers, using an automated
information system that supplies far more than a name,
address and phone number. Your employees will receive
information about providers' days and hours of operation,
fees, meal services provided, activities offered,
training of the caregivers, transportation services,
eligibility requirements and more.
•
Time Saving Assistance
The child and elder care referral services save
busy employees from the frustration of negotiating
the maze of providers, services, costs and regulations.
The Dependent care specialists educate your employees,
help them define their needs and then do the necessary
research and legwork to provide them with profiles
and referrals that are tailored for each employee's
situation and individual needs. Employees can call
at any time to ask questions or request additional
information.
