About Abby Care: Powering the future of care at home for all of America. Abby Care is building the leading AI-native platform for family-led care. America is facing a growing care crisis.

Our platform helps health plans and government partners better understand, verify, and improve care in the home. We expand access to care, reduce reliance on higher-cost settings, and help ensure public dollars are spent effectively. We are proud to partner with leading health plans, providers, and community organizations and are backed by top VCs. We envision a future where family-led care is a core part of the healthcare system. Abby Care is building that future. Join us in solving one of the most important challenges of our time.
