Caring less
CareYaYa offers affordable senior care and companionship. A great resource for WFH professionals caring for a senior.
What’s new - CareYaYa, founded by Dr. Neal K. Shah of NIH, provides affordable care for seniors, utilizing the services of volunteers and college students.
Why it matters – An estimated 9–13 million Americans — and likely tens of millions worldwide — now work from home while also caring for an aging parent or senior. Yours truly is one of them.
Going deeper - CareYaya connects families with pre-vetted college students—many pursuing healthcare careers—who provide affordable, non-medical companionship and in-home support for older adults. Services can include:
Meal preparation
Errands and light housekeeping
Mobility assistance
Ttechnology help
Medication reminders and specialized
Companionship for people with dementia or Alzheimer’s.
Not caring for a senior – Then I encourage you to follow Dr. Shah’s Instagram or TikTok feed. You will learn invaluable information about brain health and preventative steps to avoid dementia and Alzheimer’s. It will scare the s*** out of you!
