Your Papa Benefit

Hi! We’re Papa. And we’re here to help.

We’ve partnered with your Medicare Advantage plan to provide you with access to our nationwide network of Papa Pals—real people that offer companionship and assistance with everyday tasks at no cost to you.

Everyday, 8 a.m.– 8 p.m. Eastern Time.

How Papa Helps

Papa Pals offer a hand to help, a shoulder to lean on, and an ear to listen—when, where, and how you need it most.

Companionship

Papa Pals love a good card game, stroll down memory lane, or a new recipe. If it’s good company you need, they’ve got it in spades.

Everyday Tasks

Keeping up with the house can be overwhelming. Papa Pals offer light cleaning and yard work, meal prep, organizing, pet help, and more.

Technology Assistance

Our Papa Pals are here to help you set up and learn how to use devices and applications to stay in touch with loved ones, enjoy games, and so much more.

Contactless Grocery Door Drop

Nutritious food comes right to your front door with Papa. We’ll shop for and deliver the groceries you order (costs not included).

Virtual Visits

We make it easy to have a Papa Pal, no matter where you’re located. Meaningful connections and support are just a phone call or video chat away.
