Free Service Cuts Costs Of Caregiving
(NAPSI)-Most people realize that caring for a relative or
friend in need requires an investment of time and emotional energy. But the financial
burden can also take its toll and costs can quickly add up.
That's why Paul Alper and Tom Doyle co-founded The Caregivers
Marketplace-a free service that offers rebates and discounts on goods and services used
everyday by those who get and give care. Anyone who enrolls can reduce out-of-pocket costs
by as much as 15 percent or more on over 500 products, including nutritional supplements,
incontinence and bathing supplies, home-modification equipment and personal emergency
response systems.
"Family caregivers can easily spend more than $2,000 per
year for products and services that are not covered by insurance or Medicare," says
Alper. "Research shows that caregivers often don't know where to turn for specialty
products and information. Our goal is to help caregivers learn new skills and save."
Enrollees can buy some products, such as Ensure, Boost and
Comfort Bath, anywhere they are sold and get rebates. Other catalogue items qualify for
direct discounts from manufacturers.
Caregivers can enroll free at www.caregiversmarketplace.com or toll-free
at 1-866-327-8340. The Web site also includes an up-to-date catalogue and information on
caregiving skills and resources.
