Supporting our caregivers
Benefits and rewards
Every day, our caregivers give their all to improve the health of our communities. In turn, we’re committed to providing an exceptional workplace experience, including a comprehensive total rewards package with competitive compensation, retirement, health and insurance benefits, paid-leave, well-being resources and much more.
Hear how some of our own caregivers take advantage of the benefits offered by Providence.
Caregiver Assistance Program
Choose Well , our well-being program, supports daily engagement, social connections and well-being resources.
The Caregiver Assistance Program through Lyra provides free and confidential mental wellness information, resources, guidance and counseling support 24/7 for all caregivers and their families.
Family Support All Year Long
Bright Horizons Back-Up Care provides access to back-up care for your children, adult and elder family members during a lapse or breakdown in normal care arrangements. We will help find additional support for your family, whether it’s reliable full-time child care, finding elder care, a trusted sitter, dog walker or a housekeeper.
Tuition and Education Assistance
Providence partners with Guild to provide more opportunities for caregivers to grow their careers, with select programs available up to 100% tuition-free. A wider selection of programs are covered up to $5,250 per year, either through tuition assistance or reimbursement.
All caregiver service qualifies for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) . We partner with Tuition.io to guide all caregivers through their student loans. Parents of college-bound children can also use Tuition.io to learn how to save and pay for tuition.
We also offer a variety of online and in-person opportunities for caregivers and their dependents to receive an education conveniently and affordably through our partnership with the University of Providence (UP) . Caregivers who use their benefit at UP can participate in immediate tuition reimbursement, providing funds earlier to pay for schooling at the beginning of the term.
