\nWith over 34 million people serving as unpaid caregivers to adults over the age of 50, demand has steadily increased for solutions that both enable loved ones to live independently at home and make it easier for family caregivers to support them. HomeThrive and Papa are combining efforts to offer a comprehensive care service, provided as an employer or payor benefit, that integrates Papa\u2019s innovative \u201cgrandkids on-demand\u201d capabilities with the expert coaching and personal assistance services delivered by HomeThrive CareGuides, who are master\u2019s level- social workers assigned support to the entire family.<\/p>\n

A recent study in 2018 from the Home and Community Preferences survey shows that almost 80% of adults age 50 and older want to remain in their communities and\/or homes as they age (*see Note 1). People who prefer to age at home want to stay around their friends and community. If someone has a strong commitment to their environment, they have stronger reasons to want to live at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cOlder adults want to age in place. We are excited to partner with HomeThrive to support them and their clients and help loved ones thrive at home,\u201d said Papa Founder and CEO Andrew Parker. \u201cOur Papa Pals provide amazing companionship and support members with transportation to improve their lives. We look forward to expanding our services with HomeThrive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aging adults also want to stay in their homes because they want to maintain their independence. Papa Pals are able to help them live independently while helping them with everyday tasks in and out of their homes. Seniors have the capability to have assistance when and where they need it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to partner with Papa and support more aging adults in their homes,\u201d said Leland Brewster, VP of Product and Business Development at HomeThrive. \u201cFamilies who aren\u2019t able to have a live-in caregiver can now have peace of mind knowing that vetted and qualified Papa Pals will be able to assist their loved ones and help them stay engaged and healthy at home.\u201d<\/p>\n
