“The thesis is to essentially create more visibility for the agencies. What we've learned over time is that agencies have very limited data points. It's almost like operating in the dark. What we've managed to do with CareBestie is dramatically increase these conversations.”
Daniel Haven
CEO & Co-founder, CareBestie
“For the first time, we had a consistent, always-on patient touchpoint that showed us what was really happening across our census. It allowed us to identify and address issues in the field faster and build greater trust with our referral partners.”
Sean Spellberg
CEO, Pinnacle Home Care
“With reimbursement pressure increasing, we need to figure out a way to increase visibility into what is happening with patients at home continuously and in real time. CareBestie removes the blind spots agencies face today.”
Bud Langham
Senior Advisor, CareBestie; former EVP, Enhabit
“CareBestie is building critical infrastructure for continuous engagement that supports physical and mental wellbeing while reducing reliance on scarce human resources. It is the type of foundation that becomes more essential as demographics and care delivery models continue to shift.”
