Walk into many assisted living communities and you’ll still see clipboards, binders, and sticky notes. August Health is trying to make all of that disappear with a clean, senior-living–specific EHR that staff actually want to use—and that helps operators run tighter, safer communities.

What the product does

Purpose-built EHR for assisted living. August Health replaces paper and legacy tools with a single system for move-ins, assessments, care plans, progress notes, incidents, and compliance. Operators can standardize workflows across communities and finally get reliable data out the other side.

Medication management (eMAR). Med passes, signatures, PRN follow-ups, and audit trails live in one place. The goal is fewer errors and easier surveys.

Care Track and Insights. Frontline teams log what happened; managers see trends by resident, shift, or building—falls, behaviors, call-light volume—so they can step in before small problems become big ones.

Billing & payments. Pricing tied to service levels and actual care delivered helps capture revenue that often leaks when documentation is scattered.

“August Intelligence.” The company is rolling out an embedded assistant that summarizes what matters on each resident and nudges the right teammate at the right time. Think: a quick brief before a shift change, or a heads-up that a pattern of notes points to a rising risk.

How it’s sold. Typical vertical SaaS model, priced per active resident per month, so spend scales with occupancy.

Who’s behind it

August Health was founded in 2020 by Erez Cohen (previously led engineering at Apple after selling his startup, Mapsense) and Dr. Justin Schram (physician with deep senior-living experience and former medical director at Landmark Health). The pairing shows in the product: consumer-grade UX with clinical common sense.

Traction and customers

The company has moved from single-site pilots to multi-state rollouts. Notable wins include Sonida Senior Living (nearly 100 communities) alongside operators like 12 Oaks, Bickford, Koelsch, and Westmont. The pattern: start with move-ins and care documentation, then expand to eMAR and analytics once staff are comfortable.

Reported outcomes from early adopters include fewer incidents, happier staff, and better top-line capture as care levels are documented more consistently.

Fundraising

• Series B — $29M (August 2025). Led by Base10 Partners with participation from General Catalyst, Matrix Partners, and several strategic partners from the senior-living ecosystem. Funds are going toward the intelligence layer and deeper product breadth.
• Series A — $15M (June 2022). Led by Matrix Partners with General Catalyst and longtime industry operators participating.

By simple addition, August Health has raised about $47M to date.

Why this matters

• Acuity is rising, staffing isn’t. Teams need tools that reduce busywork and surface issues early.
• Paper makes you blind. If notes live in binders, leaders can’t see trends or prove value to families and payers.
• Medication safety is a swing factor. Cleaner eMARs reduce risk and survey pain.
• Value-based models are creeping in. Operators that tie care ops to financial outcomes will have an edge.

What to watch

1. Proof of impact. Expect tighter before/after data on incidents, hospitalizations, and staff time saved.
2. Integrations. Pharmacies, labs, staffing, CRM, and payer pipes will determine how “system-of-record” August really is.
3. Incumbent response. Legacy platforms will ship “AI” checkboxes. Usability and measurable ROI will separate hype from help.
