The definition of presenteeism is “the act of attending work while sick.” In the context of caregiving, this could mean coming to work not fully rested and therefore unable to focus on the task at hand; taking personal days off to schedule medical appointments, picking up prescriptions, or missing work due to managing the elderly loved one’s affairs. Being the best son or daughter comes with a cost. According to a MetLife study, caregivers who suffer from “presenteeism” cost their employers a range of $2,110 to $2,441 per year, not to mention putting their own health at risk with caregiver burnout and exhaustion. In the long run, refraining from hiring in-home elder care will cost you more than hiring respite help at home.
