Supporting a loved one through dementia care transitions takes compassion and patience. Tembo Health helps families provide dignity and quality care at home.

Caring for an elderly parent can be deeply rewarding yet overwhelming. Many caregivers face burnout, feeling trapped by emotional and physical demands.

Tembo Health joins the 2022 UnitedHealthcare Accelerator to collaborate with innovators and shape the future of senior healthcare.

Nearly 20% of Americans are caregivers and provide unpaid assistance to others, typically family members. Whether it be grocery store runs, transportation to doctor’s appointments, or supporting daily activities (e.g., dressing and bathing), caregivers provide immense emotional and physical support that is valued at over $450 billion per year.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on our daily activities, shuttering schools and businesses, and claiming a half million lives in the US to date. Unfortunately, the pandemic has disproportionately affected vulnerable populations, including seniors.

As families and friends gear up to celebrate the holiday season, many are taking COVID-19 tests to protect their loved ones. With more infectious breakthrough cases––through variants like the Omicron––increasing worldwide case numbers, regular testing, especially before social gatherings and travel, will play a vital role in lessening the spread of the virus.
