Sage Care

Sage Care sells software to home care agencies that automates the front-office intake process. The product combines an AI receptionist, a CRM, and an automated notetaker/scribe, and is positioned as HIPAA-compliant and built specifically for home care and hospice providers. It records and transcribes intake calls, in-home assessments and client visits, extracts structured details such as names, care needs and schedules, and generates summaries with recommended next actions for staff review and approval [0][1].

Captured data syncs into agency management and scheduling systems. The company states full two-way integration with WellSky, and site copy variously describes AxisCare as fully integrated or coming soon; Axxess, HHAeXchange and CareSmartz360 are described as available on request or forthcoming [0][1]. Sage Care also operates as a VoIP provider so agencies can either replace or run alongside an existing phone system, and offers a native iOS app plus a desktop web application [0][1]. Y Combinator describes the company as an AI-native communication platform for home care client intake handling [5].

The team says it previously built Clara Home Care, which scaled to more than 3,000 caregivers across California, and cites that operating experience as the origin of the product [3]. Note: several sources returned in this research (sage.care, and the October 2025 $20M funding coverage naming founders Caesar Djavaherian, Justin Ho and Chris Blumenberg) describe a differently named-but-similar company focused on care navigation for health systems and are not attributed to this company.

Founding story

Jon Levinson and Ian Gillis met as product and engineering management counterparts at Uber, where they launched and grew Uber Direct. After Levinson's family experienced difficulty arranging care for his father, the two collaborated on Clara, a home care marketplace; the operational problems they encountered running that business — missed calls, slow follow-ups and paperwork — led them to build Sage Care's agency-facing tooling [3][5].

Business model

B2B software sold to home care agency operators, with a demo-and-consultation sales motion followed by configuration and integration with the agency's existing management software; pricing is not published and is provided after a demo [0][1].

Pricing is not disclosed publicly; the company states it provides personalized pricing after a demo and emphasizes budget-consciousness for small agencies [0][1].

Traction

Y Combinator lists the company as active with a team size of 3 [5]. The website carries a customer testimonial from Ashley Min, COO of Lifespan Care, and states the product is used by home care agencies across the United States [0][1][3]. Named investors/backers include Y Combinator and AARP's AgeTech Collaborative [3][5].
