Elder Care
Elder Care
Duke Family Support Program

memory disorders and elder care decisions. The Duke Family Support Program
serves families and professionals concerned about or caring for persons with
memory disorders in North Carolina, and Duke employees seeking help with elder
care decisions.
- Elder Care Consultations - As the population ages, Duke's faculty and staff will find a need for assistance with
an aging parent. The Duke Family Support Program provides elder care referrals and resources to Duke faculty and staff who require
this assistance. Please contact the Duke Family Support Program at 660-7510.
Retirement
Retirement Plans - Duke offers comprehensive retirement plans that allow employees to save for retirement and pay less in
taxes now as the money invested in these accounts and the interest earned is tax-deferred (or tax-sheltered).

social events for retirees, offers discounts to Duke stores, and allows retiree access to selected Duke facilities.
