Papa
Companion care connecting older adults and families to real people
Papa partners with health plans and employers to connect members and their families with trained companions called Papa Pals, who provide in-person or phone-based support for everyday tasks, transportation, companionship, and more. The service targets older adults, family caregivers, and underserved populations to help them age in place and reduce social isolation. Health plans and employers offer Papa as a benefit to improve member outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
Members enroll through their participating health plan or employer benefit, then schedule visits with Papa Pals via phone or mobile app for companion care, errands, transportation, and more.
