Why we know this works!

We love this resource because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we see how loneliness and a growing list of undone chores quietly make a home less safe. Does insurance ever pay for help around the house? Yes: if you are on an accepted Medicare Advantage plan, Papa provides covered hours with a real person, called a Papa Pal, who visits for companionship or helps with cooking, cleaning, transportation, pet care, and technology. Get started at www.papa.com or by calling 1-800-348-7951, and add this free guide to your cart to have all the details and links emailed to you. This is especially valuable for older adults living alone, people with multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's who need a hand with everyday tasks, and long distance families who want regular check ins. Papa Pals provide companionship and task help, not hands on personal or medical care, so if your loved one needs help bathing or transferring, ask the doctor about home health services instead.
