The company has delivered more than 1.5 million hours of training to nearly 300,000 learners. Its product includes short-form, mobile-accessible courses, upskilling pathways, and compliance solutions for organizations of all sizes. CareAcademy plans to accelerate product development and enhance data measurement capabilities to better track outcomes and expand into enterprise and home health opportunities. The company frames education as a health intervention and seeks to scale caregiver training to improve care quality and economic mobility for care workers. Recent strategic funding will support these growth and measurement efforts and broaden the company’s reach across the long-term care continuum. CareAcademy provides an end-to-end, scalable online training and workforce empowerment platform for home care and home health workers, combining courses, certifications, and a training management dashboard. The product includes advanced reporting, portability, and technical integrations with Clearcare and Alayacare to support onboarding, tracking, and workforce management.

CareAcademy aims to expand its platform to support measurement of healthcare outcomes, improve retention, and enable caregivers to work across the healthcare continuum. Following a $9.5M Series A, the company plans to scale upskilling efforts to help one million Americans reskill for healthcare work by 2023 in response to COVID-19 and the aging population. The platform focuses on turning caregivers into knowledgeable patient advocates through flexible, accessible online training and specialist certifications such as dementia care. CareAcademy delivers specialized online training and certification courses for senior home care professionals, covering topics such as infection control, nutrition and meal preparation, dementia, fall prevention, and safe transfers.
