With the app’s release, the company is making it more convenient for members to manage all aspects of their backup care needs, whenever and wherever they are.

“As demand for our backup care services continue to escalate, we thought it important to offer our members even greater flexibility to manage it all through this best-in-class app,” says Peter Burki, CEO, LifeCare, “Now members can engage with us through any method they prefer – phone, web or app – to receive the right backup care solution they need.“

The app allows members to manage all aspects of their Backup Care benefit, including the ability to request care for their covered dependents such as children, seniors, pets and even themselves. Additional features include ability for employees to track their backup care utilization, view available visits, update or modify upcoming care reservations, submit for reimbursement and more.

Employers that offer Backup Care Connection to their employees recognize the value of the service, both in helping to alleviate the care giving burden faced by their workforce and helping to reduce employee absenteeism. With the robust and flexible solutio, children, aging loved ones, pets and employees who are recovering from serious illness or surgery are covered.

As Burki referenced, the backup care services have seen steady growth in both demand and usage as more and more corporations look to provide valuable, productivity-enhancing care support for their employees. These nationwide companies specifically choose tBackup Care Connection because it’s flexible, enabling members to choose from a selection of network care providers, locations, and out-of-network options (including their own preferred privately secured caregiver such as a personal babysitter, friend or even family member).
