Back-up care service added to Total Rewards Program 

A partnership with Bright Horizons now provides Duke University Health System team members access to a network of high-quality childcare centers and in-home care providers to offer temporary care when there is a disruption in regular care arrangements.

Duke University Health System team members can access up to 10 annual days of back-up care at subsidized rates once their Bright Horizons profile is created.

• Reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance or the same day care is needed.
• Center-based care is $15 per child/day or $25 per family/day.
• A day of in-home care is a minimum of 4 hours up to a maximum of 10 hours of care.
• In home care for both children and adults is $6 per hour.
• One in-home caregiver can care for up to three care recipients.

Rely on back-up care when:

• Your child’s school is closed for inclement weather, break, or holiday
• Your stay-at-home spouse has a doctor appointment and needs additional support
• Your regular daycare is closed and you need an in-home care provider
• Your child is mildly ill and you are working from home
• Mom or dad’s regular caregiver is unavailable or on vacation
• Your adult loved one is recovering from a scheduled surgery and needs help in their home anywhere in the U.S
