The guitar strums of country music fade into the quiet Nashville night as Sarah sits vigil by her grandfather's bedside. At 82, he still loves his East Nashville home where he's lived for forty years, but his recent hospitalization has everyone worried about leaving him alone overnight. After struggling with unreliable agency workers who charged outrageous fees and seemed more interested in their phones than patient care, Sarah discovered CareYaya. Now her grandfather has a dedicated Vanderbilt nursing student providing overnight care at half the cost of agencies, with no contracts and technology that keeps the whole family connected.
Nashville Families Are Choosing CareYaya Over Traditional Agencies—Here's Why
Nashville isn't just Music City—it's becoming Healthcare City, with a $92 million healthcare industry and growing demand for quality senior care. With 687,150 residents and Tennessee's senior population growing 12.5% since 2020, Nashville families needed a revolutionary approach to senior care. CareYaya delivers exactly that.
The problems with traditional Nashville agencies that CareYaya solves:
- Overpriced services: Agencies charge $19.26 per hour and up to $31.95/hour—CareYaya costs 40-50% less
- Unreliable workers: High turnover means constantly changing faces who don't know your loved one
- Hidden fees and contracts: Agencies lock families into expensive commitments
- Limited technology: Outdated systems with poor family communication
- Poor screening: Many workers lack proper education and healthcare training
CareYaya: The Clear Superior Choice for Nashville Overnight Senior Care
1. Exceptional Student Caregivers vs. Traditional Agency Workers
While agencies rely on minimally trained workers with high turnover rates, CareYaya exclusively partners with pre-health students from Nashville's premier universities:
- Vanderbilt University students from the #4 ranked nursing school with 831 graduate nursing students
- Belmont University students from their nationally accredited nursing programs with over 9,000 students
- Tennessee State University nursing students from their comprehensive BSN program with 9,218 total enrollment
- Higher intelligence and motivation: Students pursuing healthcare careers vs. workers seeking temporary employment
- Reliability: Students are accountable to their academic institutions and career goals
"The difference between our previous agency worker and our CareYaya student was like night and day," shares Robert from Belle Meade. "The agency sent someone who barely knew basic first aid and left my mother alone to watch TV. Our Vanderbilt nursing student actually engages with Mom, helps with her physical therapy, and caught early signs of a UTI that could have been serious."
