RICHMOND, Va., May 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Naborforce, an age-tech company whose platform
provides on-demand everyday assistance to seniors, today announced
that it has expanded its nationally renowned services to
Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, and the
Greater Wilmington Region. The new North
Carolina markets served are in addition to Raleigh, Durham, Chapel
Hill, and Charlotte where
Naborforce has become a trusted resource for providing a helping
hand for older adults and backup for their family members.
The rapid expansion of Naborforce further into the state is
timely and sorely needed to support communities as the older
population continues to grow significantly in the majority of
North Carolina's counties, as
reported by the Office of State Budget and Management. North Carolina's demographic shift reflects
the same challenges the country is experiencing. Beginning next
year, 10,000 Americans will turn 80 every day.
Changes to North Carolina's
demographics have caught the attention of many state leaders,
including Governor Roy Cooper, who
in 2023 issued Executive Order 280 that established a
commitment to building an age-friendly state and called upon
public-private stakeholders to create a blueprint for the
enhancement and coordination of critical services for the state's
aging population. Senator Jim Perry
also introduced Senate Bill 274 that was signed into law last year
opening the doors for additional support options for older adults
in North Carolina.
As the sole on-demand platform of its kind, Naborforce will
match older adults seeking neighborly help in key parts of
North Carolina with a reliable
network of its fully vetted and trustworthy "Nabors." The
Naborforce solution will harness the strength of local communities
to provide a neighborly hand as needed so older adults may lead
social and active lives.
"Naborforce's mission is to bring joy to seniors in North Carolina and beyond," said Paige Wilson, founder and CEO of Naborforce.
"The role we play is to tap into the power of community to help
keep adults independent and bring peace of mind to their families.
Our expansion in North Carolina
will provide everyday support to older adults and their family
members at a time that it is needed most."
Clients or their families can set up an account – which takes
just a couple minutes – to start booking help for the little things
that make life better for an older person. As an example, Nabors
can take a walk with a client, help clean out a closet, run
errands, get to important appointments, set up an iPhone, help
prepare a meal, or enjoy a cup of coffee together.
"The expansion of Naborforce in North
Carolina comes during the national observance of Older
Americans Month, a time to reaffirm commitments to serving older
adults," said Wilson. The 2024 theme is "Powered by Connection,"
which recognizes the profound impact that social connections have
on the health and well-being of older adults. Wilson added,
"Connectedness plays a vital role in supporting independence. At
Naborforce, our Nabors help older adults age gracefully while
combatting isolation and loneliness. "
