\nThis partnership will improve senior citizen\u2019s mental health and help reduce loneliness and social isolation to allow seniors to age in place.<\/p>\n
MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 16, 2020 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Papa Inc., a nationwide provider for seniors and caregivers announced today its newest partnership with Priority Health. Papa will provide \u201cGrandkids On-Demand\u201d for Priority Health\u2019s PriorityMedicare Edge℠ and PriorityMedicare Ideal℠ Medicare Advantage plan members. The launch went live January 1, 2020 and it will be the only insurance plan in Michigan to cover services for seniors such as transportation, technology services and companionship to qualified members.<\/p>\n
\nThis partnership will improve senior citizen\u2019s mental health and help reduce loneliness and social isolation to allow seniors to age in place.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to partner with Priority Health and help support their Medicare Advantage PriorityMedicare Edge and PriorityMedicare Ideal members in Michigan for their needs as they age in place,\u201d said Founder and CEO Andrew Parker. \u201cThe partnership is exciting for both organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aging in place is becoming more popular with senior citizens. A recent survey from AARP (*see note 1) showed that roughly 90% of American seniors wish to live at home for as long as possible. The downside to aging in place is the social isolation it brings. A recent poll from The National Poll on Health Aging (*see note 2) found that more than a quarter of its respondents said they only had social contact once a week, or less, with family members they don\u2019t live with, friends and neighbors. Papa\u2019s partnership with Priority Health will give seniors more care and companionship.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are excited to be the first health plan in Michigan to provide the unique services which Papa provides,\u201d said CEO of Priority Health Joan Budden. \u201cMost people are not used to a health care plan that provides in-home assistance to this degree, which is creating excitement in our Medicare community.\u201d<\/p>\n
