Do employees have to say they are caregivers?

No. Everyone in the covered group receives the same invitation.

How many people are caregivers?

AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving estimate 63 million Americans provide ongoing care. That counts caregivers in the population, not 63 million employees or the share of your workforce.

Will we see who uses it?

Any reporting is agreed and reviewed before launch and excludes individual health information.

For business and people leaders

Caregiving does not clock out during the workday.

How can employers support caregivers without collecting health details?

Invite everyone in the covered group the same way, without asking who is a caregiver or why. People who need support opt in privately. Agree the scope and review permissions and any reporting before launch, so the company receives no individual health information. Threaded Care is voluntary access for covered employee-families, not leave administration or respite care.

What this can look like

Illustrative examples, not customer stories or testimonials.

Illustrative example: one invitation for all

A 300-person manufacturer sends the same invitation to every employee rather than a "caregivers only" email. Nobody has to identify themselves to get access.

Illustrative example: reporting review

Before launch, HR and legal review what reporting, if any, the company will receive, and confirm it contains no individual health details.

What Threaded Care actually does here

What covered employee-families get, and what the employer does not see.

Voluntary, individual use

People choose whether to create an account. Each person sets up their own profile and decides what to add.

No individual health reporting to employers

The offer is designed around access, not monitoring. Any reporting is limited to what is agreed and reviewed during setup, and is reviewed with you before launch.

Employer-funded access

Access for covered employee-families at $365 per covered employee-family per year. Eligibility, inclusions and rollout are agreed in writing before purchase.

Start with one team or the whole workforce

Coverage can begin with a single team and widen later. Scope is set by agreement, not by a checkout page.

What it is not: Threaded Care is not leave administration, respite, home care or an EAP replacement, and it does not ask employees for a caregiver diagnosis.

Universal invitation and reporting review

Scope this with the business owner first. Bring in HR, legal and privacy where implementation requires review.

Covered group: Who is covered? (Do not single out caregivers.)
Invitation wording: Does the invitation avoid asking anyone to disclose caregiving or health status?
Permissions review: Who reviewed the permissions and data setup, and when?
Reporting review: What reporting, if any, will the company receive? Confirm it has no individual health details.
Other benefits: How will you point people to existing leave or EAP benefits alongside this?

This worksheet is part of this page, not a feature of the Threaded Care app. It is not a clinical tool.
