CareBestie raises $4.4 million Seed round as demand for home care outpaces staff
Agencies seek continuous insight into patients without adding headcount.
CareBestie, a healthcare technology company focused on post-acute and long-term care, has emerged from stealth with a $4.4 million Seed round and a proposition aimed squarely at one of the sector’s most stubborn problems: how to maintain continuous contact with patients when human caregivers are increasingly scarce.
The funding round was led by TLV Partners, with participation from a group of strategic angel investors drawn from healthcare and enterprise software, including WalkMe founder Dan Adika and Papa founder Andrew Parker. The company said the capital will support its public launch and expansion across the U.S. healthcare system.
CareBestie has built an AI-driven, voice-based patient engagement infrastructure designed to operate in the long stretches between in-person visits, the periods when care providers often have the least visibility into what is happening with patients at home. Rather than apps or portals, the system relies on familiar phone calls, delivered in a patient’s preferred language and branded by the care agency itself.
The company is already working with agencies covering more than 55,000 average daily census patients across the United States, including Elara Caring and Pinnacle Home Care. These agencies use CareBestie’s system to conduct proactive outreach, collect information about patients’ physical and mental wellbeing, and flag cases that require human follow-up, without adding staff.
CareBestie was founded by Daniel Haven, a serial entrepreneur whose previous company, ProctorExam, was acquired by Turnitin, together with David Ilievsky, formerly VP of R&D at Navina AI and RapidAPI. The company said it built its system in close collaboration with post-acute and long-term care operators.
With the new funding, CareBestie plans to expand its footprint across the U.S. and aims to reach more than 250,000 patients by 2026.
