h / care was born in 2018 with a serendipitous meeting between two visionary healthcare entrepreneurs as they waited for their elevator in Birmingham, Alabama. United by a shared passion for transforming post-acute care, they spent thousands of hours visiting agencies, listening to caregivers, and gathering feedback from residents and their families. This journey culminated in the founding of h / care in 2023—a company built on a foundation of high touch, high tech, and unwavering trust, dedicated to delivering exceptional care and experiences for both our internal and external customers.
