AKALAKA exists to serve the care partners who need and give the greatest care. Guided by the vision of innovator Dr. Victoria Chibuogu Nneji, AKALAKA harmonizes advanced systems engineering with the heart of human compassion to address the real challenges of long-term home and community care.
We operate a workforce development model that professionalizes the "invisible" labor of people caregiving for loved ones. By training people with disabilities and caring family members and friends to become Certified Peer Facilitators, we convert undervalued labor into a dignified livelihood with portable benefits. This approach creates a sustainable infrastructure of care that directly addresses health disparities and drives upward social and economic mobility.
AKALAKA collaborates with community underwriters like non-profit foundations and Medicaid managed care organizations to deliver services that are consistent, affordable, respectful, and equitable. We measure our success not just by efficiency, but by the tangible improvement of our members' Connection, Clarity, and Confidence. We are dedicated to a future where every interaction is marked by timeliness, thoughtfulness, and delightfulness. With AKALAKA, we handle life together.
