The State of Care Index

In its inaugural survey, Care.com examined the state of child care?in cooperation with the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies(NACCRRA)?as well as the state senior care. In its second survey, Care.com, NACCRRA, and the National Family Caregivers Association (NFCA) continued to monitor the state of child care and examined specifically the state of child care for children with special needs. The State of Care Index outlines the annual cost of child care and senior care, details families' efforts to save money on care arrangements,and reports on the tie between employment and caregiving.
