The problem inside your workforce

47% of adults in their 40s and 50s have a parent age 65 or older and are actively caring for them.

For most, that care is invisible to their employer — until it isn't. Missed meetings. Distracted workdays. A resignation letter.

The cost of caregiver-related absenteeism and turnover in US workplaces is measured in the tens of billions annually.

What it's costing you

Caregiving isn't just an employee problem. It shows up in your P&L as absenteeism, distraction, presenteeism, and turnover — most of it invisible until you look for it.

Your workforce

About 1 in 4 employees is quietly caring for an aging parent or family member.

And 1 in 5 of those caregivers will eventually quit, cut their hours, or take leave.

Elder care benefits are becoming a competitive advantage

Demand is climbing fast — but supply hasn't kept up. Only about 1 in 8 US employers offers any eldercare benefit today, and most of those are just referral lines, not actual care. That gap is the opportunity: the employers who deliver real care now are the ones who stand out to the experienced, sandwich-generation talent everyone is fighting to keep.

But most current offerings fall short of what employees actually need.

Navigation-only apps
Guidance, but no delivery. A coordinator helps the employee think through options — then leaves them to find, vet, and arrange the actual care on their own.
Companion visits
Social visits to the parent. Friendly, valuable for isolation — but not care. No help with bathing, mobility, medication, or the moments that actually cause a family crisis.
Referral lists
A vetted list of local agencies. The employee still calls around, screens providers, negotiates rates, and hopes someone picks up.
Each solves a slice. Aponot is the only one that pairs concierge care navigation — a real advisor guiding the family from the very first question — with real, licensed home care delivered in the home when it's needed.
How Aponot works

Aponot works on two levels. A concierge care advisor helps employees plan and navigate elder care from the very first question — often years before hands-on help is needed, and across everything from assisted living to aging-in-place planning. And when the day comes, licensed home care is delivered in the home. The steps below show that delivery path.

Request

Employees log in and describe what their loved one needs — often in minutes. No phone tag, no hunting for an agency.

Care

Care is delivered in the home. Aponot handles scheduling, payment, and follow-up from there.

Employers pay a predictable subscription. Employees can opt into additional coverage tiers via voluntary payroll deduction.

Built on licensed, credentialed care

Aponot isn’t a call center or a directory. Care is delivered by real, licensed agencies and credentialed caregivers — and we hold the network to it.

State-licensed agencies

Every agency in the network operates under its own state license, insurance, and workers’ compensation.

Credentialed caregivers

Caregivers are certified (CNA or HHA), background-checked, and verified through the agency employing them.

HIPAA-compliant

Administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, with Business Associate Agreements available on request.

Fully insured

General, professional (E&O), and cyber liability coverage; certificates available on request.

Who we are

Aponot is built by the operators of a licensed, insured Florida home care agency — not a tech company guessing at care from the outside. We run the operations, employ caregivers, and answer the 2 a.m. calls.

Our founding team’s background spans years working alongside leading health systems and senior-living communities, together with ex-management consultants and MIT alumni.

We built Aponot to close a gap the benefits industry has circled but never solved: actual care delivery, at scale, at the moments that matter.

Healthcare & senior-care companies our founders have worked closely with
Our agency partners

Our agency partners don’t just meet the standard — they lead the industry on the measures that actually shape care: keeping their best caregivers, retaining clients, and earning top marks from the families they serve. We vet to that bar, then hold the network to it.
