About Sage Care
Home‑care agencies rely on relationships but are overwhelmed by paperwork. Intake coordinators spend hours transcribing calls, building care plans, and chasing follow‑ups, pulling focus from the people they serve.
Sage is building an operating system for home‑care agencies—an AI‑native CRM and virtual assistant that automatically turns every client call and home visit into structured care plans, follow‑up tasks, and system records.
- Direct integration with tools agencies already use (WellSky, AxisCare)
- Available on iOS and desktop
- Saves agencies over 100 minutes per client intake
