By 2030, adults over 65 will outnumber children for the first time in American history, with seven in ten requiring long-term care during their lifetime.

In the face of these massive demographic shifts, organizations and employers that recognize caregiving as a core workforce issue will have a decisive advantage in attracting and retaining talent – while those that do not risk falling behind as childcare, eldercare, and complex caregiving become everyday parts of most employees’ lives.

Check out this piece from Priyanka Shah, Associate Director of the Future of Aging at the Milken Institute that looks at how caregivers represent America’s indispensable and invisible workforce. As Wellthy Co-Founder & CEO Lindsay Jurist-Rosner says in the piece, “when employers support caregivers, they do right by their people and strengthen retention and culture. Caregiving is the number two reason people leave the workforce, and addressing it has a measurable business impact.”

Every day, millions of professionals step into two crucial roles: dedicated employee and family caregiver. As our population ages, more workers than ever are navigating the complex journey of caring for elderly and aging parents while building their careers.

This insightful Forbes article from Michelle Travis examines why supporting eldercare isn't just compassionate — it's crucial for talent retention. And Working Daughter founder Liz O'Donnell puts it so powerfully in the piece:

"When companies figure out how to make leave more flexible and less rigid, and how to help employees integrate care into their workplace, they are creating a workplace culture that future generations now expect and demand," O'Donnell says.

The message is clear: organizations that create flexible, supportive environments for caregivers are building sustainable workplaces for the future, and helping to ensure employees have the care infrastructure they need for their families.

More workers are caring for aging parents during the peak of their own careers. Employers will face a competitive disadvantage if they don't invest in eldercare support.

In recognition of Martin Luther King Day and Black History Month, we sat down with JaNelle Alexander, a Wellthy Care Adviser and member of the Black@Wellthy affinity group, to discuss Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s enduring impact on civil rights, social justice, and the ongoing journey toward racial equity. Born on Dr. King's birthday, JaNelle shares a unique connection to his legacy and brings that same spirit of advocacy to both her personal and professional life.

“To honor Dr. King’s vision, organizations must invest in meaningful resources for communities disproportionately affected by racial inequity. This includes addressing disparities in jobs, housing, education, healthcare (both physical and mental), and wealth. The playing field is far from level, with many starting ten steps behind the starting line. Providing the necessary tools and resources to bridge these gaps is essential to reducing the racial equity divide and creating lasting impact.”

As we commemorate Black History Month in February, we're afforded another powerful reminder to recognize the transformative victories that generations of Black Americans have fought for while addressing the work still needed to achieve true equity. At Wellthy, this means championing healthcare equity through education, advocacy, and systemic change. We celebrate our Black caregivers and healthcare workers who carry forward this vision every day, breaking down barriers and building a more equitable healthcare system for all communities.

While our commitment to supporting family caregivers remains steadfast year-round, November holds special significance as National Family Caregivers Month.

At Wellthy, we've always known that family caregivers are the backbone of healthcare and wellness. And now, new data powerfully illustrates this reality — family caregivers provide more than $870 billion worth of care each year, a staggering figure that represents countless hours of dedication, love, and sacrifice from millions of families caring for their loved ones.

As we head into National Family Caregivers Month, let's continue to build more care infrastructure, more innovation, more empathy, and more impact to support the countless millions of people balancing caregiving alongside so many other responsibilities. We see you, we honor you, and we recommit to our dream of a world where everyone has the care infrastructure they need to take care of their own health, and the health and well-being of their families.

Two years ago, Wellthy embarked on a mission to tackle one of the most pressing issues facing millions of caregivers: the overwhelming sense of isolation they feel balancing the needs of their loved ones and the pressures of everyday life. Even though 53 million people in the U.S. identify as caregivers, we know that caregiving often feels like a solitary, daunting journey that many feel compelled to navigate in silence.

Enter Wellthy Community – our online peer network designed to bridge the gap between caregivers and create a supportive ecosystem. Our goal was to foster a sense of connection and empower caregivers to share their experiences, challenges, and resources, making the caregiving journey a little less lonely.

As we celebrate Wellthy Community’s second anniversary, we're thrilled to see its continued growth and impact. With 6,000 members seeking support for caregiving across a wide range of needs—from aging relatives to children, teens, and individuals navigating complex medical conditions like dementia, cancer, depression, anxiety, and more—we’re deeply honored that Wellthy Community has become a trusted resource for hope, information, expertise, and connection.
