Papa

Many individuals, particularly older adults and families, face challenges with loneliness, isolation, and obtaining assistance with everyday tasks. This can significantly impact their overall health and well-being. Our customers, including health plans and employers, are seeking solutions to provide vital social support and practical help to their members and employees. They understand that addressing social determinants of health is crucial for improving health outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. Papa was founded to address these challenges by connecting individuals with trained and vetted companions, known as Papa Pals.

Our customers need a reliable and scalable way to offer personalized support that goes beyond traditional healthcare services. They are looking for a solution that promotes independence, reduces inequities, and enhances the quality of life for the people they serve. Papa provides a human-centered platform that pairs older adults and families with Papa Pals who offer companionship, assistance with daily activities like transportation, light household chores, grocery shopping, and navigating health benefits. We aim to create a world where no one has to go it alone by fostering meaningful human connections. Our services help members feel physically and mentally healthier, make better healthcare decisions, and ultimately lead to lower healthcare costs by encouraging preventive care and reducing hospital visits. For employers, Papa offers a valuable benefit that supports family caregivers, promotes employee well-being, and can improve talent attraction and retention. We are committed to building a new kind of care, built on the power of human connection, to help individuals and families navigate the aging journey and live healthier, more connected lives.
