In senior living, technology has always been the awkward dinner guest, showing up late, dressed wrong, and talking about things nobody asked for. Then August Health walked in, straightened its tie, and made the entire room lean in. Founded in 2020 by Dr. Justin Schram, M.D., a former Medical Director at Landmark Health, and Erez Cohen, an engineering leader who cut his teeth at Apple, the San Francisco team built a cloud-based EHR platform that feels less like software and more like a second brain for operators and caregivers. This is not a collection of disconnected modules. This is Move-Ins that eliminate paper stacks, eMAR that catches medication errors before they happen, Care Track that puts mobile documentation in the right hands, and Insights that don’t just report the news but predict tomorrow’s headline.
On August 7, 2025, the company announced a $29 million Series B led by Base10 Partners, with General Catalyst and Matrix Partners doubling down and new strategic players like Equitage Ventures, Senior Living Transformation Company, and Stanford University stepping onto the board. That brings total funding to $44 million, aimed squarely at accelerating their AI engine, August Intelligence, a system that spots resident risk before it turns into a 3 a.m. emergency and keeps families in the loop without drowning staff in busywork.
If you want to understand why investors lined up, look at the numbers. Thousands of communities across the U.S. and Canada have already adopted the platform. Incident rates dropped 23 percent. Revenue capture jumped 20 percent, surfacing millions in services that used to vanish in the shuffle. Operators like Sonida Senior Living, 12 Oaks Senior Living, Bickford Senior Living, Koelsch Communities, and Westmont Living are proof that this isn’t just a nice interface, it’s a measurable business engine. And when 87 percent of clinical staff say care quality improved and 80 percent say their jobs got better, you’re not talking about software adoption, you’re talking about cultural shift.
August Health is now scaling engineering, design, and customer support teams to meet demand, expanding deeper into the U.S. market and tightening its Canadian footprint. The roadmap is pure signal: AI-powered watchlists, cross-department intelligence modules, family-facing communication tools, features designed not to keep pace with the gray wave, but to stay ahead of it. This is how you move an industry from reactive to predictive.
So, here’s the takeaway. In a sector where legacy systems have been cashing rent checks without paying the mortgage on innovation, August Health is the operator’s ally, the caregiver’s advocate, and the data whisperer. The money is fuel, but the vision, that’s the real play.
