Sage Unveils Tasking: A Revolutionary Care Solution
On April 28, 2026, Sage, a leader in integrated care solutions for senior living and skilled nursing, announced the introduction of Tasking, a first-of-its-kind workflow designed to unify planned and unplanned care delivery. This innovative solution marks a significant advancement in the senior care industry, addressing its longstanding challenges of fragmented systems and documentation overload for caregivers.
Traditionally, senior living communities faced operational challenges due to the disjointed nature of their care systems. Care plans often resided in Electronic Health Records (EHRs), while real-time alerts and task documentation occurred in separate systems, leading to inefficiencies and substantial cognitive load on caregivers. This disconnection not only increased the risk of clinical errors but also led to caregiver burnout, as they often had to complete documentation after long shifts, resulting in incomplete records.
Simplifying Care Delivery
Sage's Tasking provides a solution to these issues by streamlining the documentation process and integrating real-time care activities into one easy-to-use application. By enhancing the workflow within senior living facilities, caregivers can now focus more on delivering quality care rather than getting bogged down by administrative tasks. Ellen Johnston, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Sage, emphasized, “Our goal is to ease the burden on caregivers, allowing them to spend more time caring for residents instead of worrying about late-night documentation.”
In developing Tasking, Sage leveraged its existing strong engagement within care teams, where it enjoys an 80% customer satisfaction score and a 90% user engagement rate. By utilizing this extensive base, the integration of planned care into daily workflows was a natural progression. Tasking promises to enhance clinical operations, compliance, and revenue through its features, which include:
- - Bi-directional integration: Planned tasks from EHRs are synchronized with real-time updates in Sage, ensuring caregivers have access to the most current information without duplicating efforts.
- - Point-of-care documentation: This feature allows caregivers to document care activities as they happen, thus improving the accuracy and completeness of care plans.
- - Increased operational visibility: With better data insights, care leaders can make informed decisions regarding staffing and care recommendations.
Strategic Partnership with ALIS
To bring Tasking to market, Sage has partnered with ALIS (Assisted Living’s Intelligent Software), which is renowned for its comprehensive clinical and operations software tailored for senior living. This partnership not only facilitates a smoother implementation of Tasking but also exemplifies a significant move towards a connected care ecosystem. John Shafaee, Founder of ALIS, noted the importance of this collaboration in creating a unified system for caregivers, stating, “This collaboration empowers caregivers by simplifying their interactions with technology, enhancing their day-to-day experiences.”
The introduction of Tasking was timed perfectly with Sage's recent $65 million Series C funding, led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives, aimed at innovating the care delivery landscape through advanced AI-driven systems that prioritize prevention over mere reaction. This funding further solidifies Sage's commitment to revolutionizing how care is approached in senior living environments.
