Senior Care Options & Services for Teams

In Massachusetts, Senior Care Options is a MassHealth program for eligible adults age 65 and older that combines Medicare and Medicaid-covered services through participating health plans. It may include medical care, behavioral health, long-term services, and care coordination. Helpr is not a MassHealth plan; Helpr supports employers by helping employees find, fund, and manage elder and adult care resources.

There is no single universal federal “$3,000 senior assistance program” that gives every older adult a direct cash payment. Online references may describe state programs, Medicaid home and community-based services, Medicare Advantage supplemental benefits, or employer-provided care stipends. Helpr’s care stipends are employer-sponsored benefits that can help eligible employees pay for care support when offered by their organization.

Helpr helps working families access support for aging parents and adult dependents through employer-sponsored care benefits. Options may include vetted providers, care stipends, out-of-network caregiver payments, and concierge placement support. The goal is to give employees practical help when care needs interrupt work, while giving employers a scalable benefit that supports retention, productivity, and well-being.

Helpr’s senior care support is typically offered through an employer benefits program. Employees use the Helpr app or care support resources to find eligible care options, apply subsidies or stipends where available, and coordinate support for an aging parent or adult dependent. Employers can structure benefits around their workforce needs, including backup care, flexible stipends, or concierge care placement.

Helpr supports both vetted provider options and trusted personal networks, depending on the employer’s benefit design. Through My Choice, employees may be able to use subsidies for family members, friends, or other caregivers they already trust. This flexibility helps families choose care that fits their loved one’s needs, schedule, language preferences, and comfort level.

Employer-sponsored elder care benefits can reduce absenteeism, missed workdays, and employee stress caused by urgent or ongoing caregiving responsibilities. They also strengthen retention by showing employees that their whole-family needs matter. Helpr’s use-based model helps organizations offer meaningful support while paying for care services actually used by employees.

Costs depend on the benefit structure chosen by the employer, such as backup care, care stipends, concierge placement, or integrated payment tools. Helpr’s use-based approach is designed so organizations pay for actual utilization rather than a one-size-fits-all program. Employees may receive subsidized access, reimbursements, or payment support according to their employer’s plan rules.

Yes. Helpr supports organizations with distributed and global teams, with family care solutions across 150+ countries. Employees in different locations can access care options suited to their local context, while employers manage benefits through one platform. This helps create more equitable support for hourly workers, executives, remote employees, and international teams alike.
