OneAmerica Financial® and Amada Senior Care Announce Innovative Collaboration to Support Caregivers
Agreement furthers commitment to caring expertise, every step of the way
INDIANAPOLIS, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OneAmerica Financial® and Amada Senior Care, two leaders in the Long-Term Care (LTC) industry, today announced a collaboration aimed at improving the LTC experience for both policyholders and their caregivers.
Recognizing the growing and vital role informal caregivers play in supporting their loved ones during long-term care events, OneAmerica Financial recently enhanced its market leading asset based long-term care product, Asset Care 2024, with modernized resources that support the needs of caregivers at home, including the new Caregiver Consultant benefit.
An initial focus of the OneAmerica Financial and Amada Senior Care alliance is collaboratively delivering on the Caregiver Consultant benefit. Amada Senior Care will provide monthly in-person or virtual consultations to eligible policyholders and their caregivers, during which they'll explore ways to enhance the plan of care; provide valuable guidance, education and training to caregivers; and help connect the family with other programs and resources that can improve their quality of life.
"OneAmerica Financial and Amada Senior Care both take a holistic view of what it means to provide caring expertise for policyholders," said Jeff Levin, Vice President of Distribution, Care Solutions, at OneAmerica Financial. "When we ease the burden for a caregiver, policyholder and the entire family, we show that we truly care."
"We believe this is a unique affiliation between an LTC insurer and a care provider," said Tafa Jefferson, Founder and CEO of Amada Senior Care. "Our collaboration with OneAmerica Financial is about more than just fulfilling a benefit in a contract — it's an opportunity to tap into the deep expertise and shared values of two organizations with a vision to transform the long-term care marketplace."
According to the OneAmerica Financial Leading Tomorrow: 2024 Caregiver Study, 56% of informal caregivers reported feeling frustrated with their role, 51% struggled to balance caregiving with other responsibilities, and 47% said they experienced burnout. Beyond the logistics of caregiving, this arrangement helps caregivers and families navigate the complexities of daily life while supporting a loved one.
"What's exciting is that we both see a powerful opportunity here to make a real difference in the lives of families," said Amy Chinn, Vice President of LTC Claims and Risk Management at OneAmerica Financial. "We are establishing a new model for collaboration between insurers and care providers, and by working together, deliver even better outcomes for our policyholders and their loved ones."

Amid cost pressures, US employers are shifting their benefit strategy, WTW survey finds
More companies expanding choice, tackling high cost and reallocating benefit spend NEW YORK, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As U.S. employers grapple with heightened economic uncertainty and greater financial pressures on budgets, steering the right course on benefit strategy is more challenging than ever. This is according to a survey by WTW (NASDAQ: WTW), a leading global advisory, broking and solutions company. As a result, companies are turning to smarter spending, sharper focus and using benefits as a strategic tool to drive engagement, retention and purpose. The 2025 Benefits Trends Survey found rising benefit costs to be the top issue (90%) influencing U.S. employers' benefit strategies in 2025, up from 67% in 2023. Other top concerns include competition for talent (52%), expectations for an enhanced employee experience (43%), cost of living (39%) and rising mental health issues (32%). 'After a long period of high benefits inflation and in the face of a possibly weakening economy, employers are taking a step back and looking to focus on what drives real value for employees and the business. That means targeting support and spending on the benefits that matter most, enabling personalization and helping employees make better decisions,' said Jeff Levin-Scherz, Population Health Leader, North America, Health & Benefits. As the cost of medical care continues to show double digit growth in the U.S., employers face greater challenges in delivering their strategy in key areas such as health benefits (44%), wellbeing programs (44%), and leave benefits (36%). To address these concerns, employers are shifting their strategy. Few are expanding their benefit portfolio, choosing to instead focus on extracting value from their current offerings and improve financing, employee experience, analytics and administration. Compared to just 8% in the past year, 63% of employers plan to reallocate or rebalance spend in the next three years. A majority (73%) plan to tackle high costs by enhancing value or switch to better-value vendors across health, retirement and risk benefits. Just under half (44%) plan to tackle high-cost medical conditions and 37% plan to adopt a network of preferred medical providers. Eager to address employee pressure points, companies are also looking to improve the following priority areas over the next three years: maximizing value, mental health, health benefits, financial wellbeing and family support. Many plan to increase their use of communication and use nudges and navigation solutions to influence behaviors and enhance the employee experience. Regularly reviewing vendor performance, including employee feedback, is also a key action employers are taking. 'Organizations are facing more pressure than ever to deliver the right benefits strategy. Finding innovative solutions for old and new challenges and reallocating spend on benefits that deliver true value is a good start. There is still a long way to go to address these pressure points, but employers are headed in the right direction by focusing on what matters most to their employees,' said Levin-Scherz. About the survey The 2025 Benefit Trends Survey was conducted from early March to mid-April. Respondents include 696 U.S. employers, representing a broad range of industries in both the private and public sector. About WTW At WTW (NASDAQ: WTW), we provide data-driven, insight-led solutions in the areas of people, risk and capital.
