What’s Rippl?  

At Rippl, we are a passionate, impatient, slightly irreverent, people-obsessed group of optimists & doers, intent on building a movement to bring mental healthcare to our aging population. We believe there is no more noble mission than caring for people at this critical stage of life, and we’re ready to take action.   

We’re reimagining what it feels like to experience mental health care challenges as a senior.  By leveraging an obsession with supporting our Care Team, a new care model and disruptive technology, we are pioneering an entirely new way to democratize senior access to high quality, wrap-around mental and behavioral healthcare, both for seniors and their families and caregivers.  Helping them stay healthier, at home longer, and out of the Emergency Room.

Mission is our Middle Name  There is no more noble mission than caring for seniors with mental health challenges. We’ve set out to make a giant, lasting, transformational impact.   

Care Team Obsession  Our team members are our focus, our obsession. We listen and learn from, and with, our front-line team  to find the right answers. When we care obsessively for our team, our patients and families will get the care they deserve.  

Moving Mountains  We see what we’re doing as a movement–a movement focused on solving one of the most important, most urgent challenges in healthcare for a really special group of people.   

Raising the bar, for everyone We are leveraging world class expertise to define a new standard of care. Partnering with the country’s leading academic institutions and geriatric clinicians, we are bringing clinical excellence to our seniors.
