Papa Papa is Creating Connections On-Demand with Papa Pals Andrew Parker created Papa in 2017 as a personal labor of love. He built the company after recognizing the extreme difficulty associated with juggling daily life and senior needs within his own family: His grandfather needed help. “It really started with my grandfather,” said Parker, the company’s CEO. “My Papa needed help and support and he was lonely and isolated. I thought he would like a young, fun, energetic person to come spend time with him, and that was our first visit. We've been building the company ever since.” Papa then spawned Papa Pals. The Pals will drive you or your older family member to the doctor. They'll help you around the house. They'll teach you how to use technology or engage you with other services offered by your health plan. And there are other benefits that aren’t so obvious or clear-cut.
