Hi! We’re Papa. And we’re here to help.
We are working with Highmark to provide you with access to our nationwide network of Papa Pals—real people that offer companionship and assistance with everyday tasks at no additional cost to you.
Papa + Highmark
(TTY: 711) Monday through Friday 8 AM – 11 PM, Saturday and Sunday 8 AM – 8 PM EST.
How Papa Helps
Papa Pals offer a hand to help, a shoulder to lean on, and an ear to listen—when, where, and how you need it most.
Companionship
Papa Pals love a good card game, stroll down memory lane, or a new recipe. If it’s good company you need, they’ve got it in spades.
Transportation
Need a ride to a doctor’s appointment, help running errands, or picking up groceries? They’ll get you safely where you need to go.
Everyday Tasks
Keeping up with the house can be overwhelming. Papa Pals offer light cleaning and yard work, meal prep, organizing, pet help, and more.
Technology Assistance
Our Papa Pals are here to help you set up and learn how to use devices and applications to stay in touch with loved ones, enjoy games, and so much more.
Contactless Grocery Door Drop
Nutritious food comes right to your front door with Papa. We’ll shop for and deliver the groceries you order (costs not included).
Virtual Visits
We make it easy to have a Papa Pal, no matter where you’re located. Meaningful connections and support are just a phone call or video chat away.
