Bay Area Older Adult Community Resource of the Week – CareYaya

This week’s Geri Community Resource is: CareYaya.

CareYaya is a nonprofit social enterprise that matches pre-health students with individuals, many of whom are suffering from Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Disease, in need of caregiving support. Their mission is to advance health equity and foster intergenerational relationships. CareYaya is backed by leading organizations including the AARP, RRF Foundation for Aging, Atrium Health, and other large healthcare systems around the country. Importantly, CareYaya charges no overhead or placement fees to families. They have recently expanded to the Bay Area and are quickly growing their family network.
