CareYaya operates as a marketplace that connects families in need of care with college students, many of whom are pursuing careers in healthcare. The platform facilitates in-home care services, including elder care, companion care, and respite care, with a focus on affordability. The company's business model is designed to be mutually beneficial: families gain access to caregivers at a lower cost than traditional agencies, while students gain valuable experience and income. All payments for care go directly to the students, supporting their educational expenses.
CareYaya serves families seeking care for their loved ones, particularly older adults. The company has a presence in several locations, including the Triangle area of North Carolina, and is expanding. The platform is also a resource for healthcare professionals, such as physicians and social workers, who can refer families to the service. The company is actively involved in the health-tech space, leveraging AI to enhance its services. This includes the development of QuikTok, an AI-powered phone companion for lonely older adults, and partnerships with institutions like Johns Hopkins University and Harvard Innovation Labs to advance AI-enabled eldercare.
