Sage launches HomeCareGPT: A free, HIPAA-compliant AI for senior care operators

San Francisco, CA — Home care operators need AI they can trust. Today, Sage announces the release of HomeCareGPT, a free online tool built specifically for senior care professionals to streamline their processes by safely turning unstructured information into actionable documentation and communications. It is purpose-built for home care and designed to help teams move faster on the work that grows a home care business — care plans, family follow ups, and caregiver matching — while protecting patient privacy from the ground up.

Why HIPAA compliance matters for AI in home care

AI is now part of everyday workflows, but most general-purpose tools were not designed for health data. When agencies paste notes, assessments, or client details into consumer chatbots, those inputs can be stored, used to train models, or routed through third parties without a compliant framework. That subjects agencies to regulatory risk and, more importantly, breaks families’ trust by exposing them to cybersecurity threats.

HomeCareGPT is built for senior care operators who need AI technology that keeps PHI secure. It operates within a compliance-first architecture, with technical and administrative safeguards aligned to HIPAA. The principle is simple: operators should be able to use AI for home care software tasks without compromising privacy.

Turning messy notes into ready-to-send work

In home care, most work starts with messy inputs — intake notes, shift summaries from caregivers, caregiver availability, and family preferences. (We know because we did this ourselves at Clara). HomeCareGPT helps teams transform that unstructured information into the outputs that operators may otherwise spend significant time synthesizing, decoding, and turning into cohesive, meaningful outputs, for instance:

• Care plans: HomeCareGPT can convert assessment and intake notes into clear, consistent care plans with goals, interventions, and scheduling details tailored to the client’s needs, based on the unique data you collect during your intake processes.

• Follow up emails: Draft professional notes to families, care managers, and referral partners that reflect up-to-date client status and next steps.

• Caregiver matching summaries: Synthesize what type of caregiver families are looking for, including skills, availability, personality fit, language needs, and location, to speed matching and scheduling decisions.

• Visit documentation: Standardize shift summaries with highlights, changes, and escalation points to support quality assurance and compliance audits.

These are the repetitive, time-intensive tasks that slow down a home care business. By giving operators an AI-native tool that is built for senior care workflows, HomeCareGPT helps teams close loops faster and spend more time on care and connection rather than paperwork.

A safe alternative to consumer AI tools

Many agencies have likely experimented with general-purpose chat tools to speed documentation. The tradeoffs became clear: without HIPAA compliance, agencies risk storing PHI in systems that may reuse data, lack auditability, and cannot meet healthcare privacy requirements. HomeCareGPT gives operators a safe alternative: an AI engine that can be used confidently for speeding up processes for day-to-day documentation and communications.

"We’re thrilled to bring the power of LLMs to home care — safely, securely, and in full alignment with HIPAA — giving operators a trustworthy way to work faster, while protecting families' personal health information."

Said Ian Gillis, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Information Security Officer at Sage.
