CareYaya’s online marketplace (www.careyaya.org) connects loved ones needing care with vetted college students studying nursing or medicine as caregivers. With overhead costs removed, students earn 100% of hourly fees that families pay. This enables offering overnight care assistance, weekend care respite, Alzheimer’s support, friendly visiting, companion care and more for just $15 per hour. The rates are industry-leading affordability compared to traditional elder care agency options charging over $30 per hour.

The startup reports families are now booking specialized care from students at leading universities across cities like Boston, Ann Arbor, Austin, Orlando and many more through their secure web platform and mobile app. Their tech-based model allows round the clock, last-minute scheduling of trusted assistance at a fraction of traditional costs. Families especially find it valuable to arrange overnight care or weekend care for $15 per hour, less than half the cost of traditional care agencies, and at time periods where caregivers are traditionally in short supply.

“We’re expanding access to affordable, compassionate care when families need it most,” said Neal K. Shah, CEO of CareYaya. “Our nationwide network of vetted student caregivers is helping older adults remain comfortably at home while giving family caregivers much-needed rest.”

With experts warning of surging unmet elderly care needs as boomers age, CareYaya’s creative expansion of the care workforce and empowering platform are welcomed by overwhelmed loved ones facing burnout. As the company rapid scales, this could be a blueprint for the industry’s future in addressing growing specialized care needs with an affordable, tech-enabled solution.
