Specialty care services
Companion Care
CareYaya’s student caregivers are uniquely suited to provide exceptional companionship care. They bring fresh energy, empathy, and curiosity to every visit. As young adults, they are eager to learn from the wisdom and life experience of those they care for, making these relationships mutually beneficial. Through conversation, games, and meaningful time together, CareYaya visits promote emotional well-being and quality of life for older adults.
Dementia and Alzheimer's Care
CareYaya student caregivers provide relationship-based dementia care with the patience and attentiveness needed to help care recipients feel safe and engaged. As aspiring healthcare professionals, they bring a strong interest in and knowledge of brain health. Their energy and curiosity naturally foster cognitive stimulation as they encourage games, activities, and conversations that invite reminiscence and recall.
Overnight Care
CareYaya student caregivers are a great choice for overnight senior care. Many students even prefer these shifts if they usually keep late hours and because these sessions do not conflict with class schedules. Students’ late-night alertness make them dependable and attentive companions.
24/7 Care
CareYaya offers a flexible solution for families requiring around-the-clock support. Our platform makes it easy to schedule and manage rotating shifts for a care team of energetic, pre-vetted student caregivers, ensuring continuous, high-quality care without burnout.
In-Facility Support
CareYaya students are a great supplement for individuals living in retirement communities, independent living, or assisted living facilities. They provide one-on-one companionship and attentive support that complements existing care staff, helping reduce isolation, engage your loved one in meaningful activities, and advocate for their needs.
