The brief
Abby Care secured $82 million in a Series C financing round to expand a program that trains and pays family members to serve as certified nursing assistants and home health aides, Home Health Care News reported.
The San Francisco startup focuses on enabling relatives to provide paid in-home care for children, older adults and people with disabilities who need assistance outside institutional settings.
Founder Havi Nguyen described the funding in a LinkedIn post and told Home Health Care News that the new capital will help the company scale amid a severe health-care workforce shortage and a growing population of older adults.
According to Home Health Care News, Abby Care’s model combines training with payment to family caregivers so they can deliver in-home services that states and families often seek but lack workforce capacity to provide.
Nguyen argued that paid family caregiving helps states reduce spending on institutional care while offering “more affordable, compassionate and sustainable care options,” a line she previously gave Home Health Care News. Home Health Care News also reported that the Series C follows an earlier financing round: Abby Care raised $35 million in August 2025.
The outlet said the new capital builds on that earlier fundraise but did not provide a breakdown of investors, valuation or how the $82 million will be allocated across programs, staffing or technology.
The company’s description, as reported by Home Health Care News, frames the initiative as a way to address gaps in home-based clinical visibility, saying clinicians often miss changes in patients’ conditions that occur in the home and that those missed signals can escalate into emergencies.
The report quoted Nguyen’s argument that shifting some care into home and community settings and compensating family caregivers can relieve pressure on health systems and reduce costs. Home Health Care News is part of Arrowfly, and Fortune and Dealroom ran headlines reporting the $82 million raise as well.
The available reporting does not include independent verification of the financing details beyond the company statements cited by Home Health Care News nor does it detail specific state programs or contracts adopting Abby Care’s model.
Further specifics on investor identities, the company’s valuation, or operational plans for distributing the new funds were not provided in the Home Health Care News report.
Why it matters
- Families of children, older adults and individuals with disabilities could see a direct change in who is paid to provide in-home care because Abby Care trains and pays family members to become certified nursing assistants and home health aides, according to Home Health Care News.
- State governments that fund institutional care programs could reduce institutional care expenditures if they adopt paid family caregiver models, a benefit Havi Nguyen cited to Home Health Care News as a rationale for the company’s expansion.
- The $82 million Series C builds on a documented $35 million raise in August 2025, indicating investors have continued financial support for Abby Care’s model as reported by Home Health Care News.
What to watch next
- Whether Abby Care publicly names the investors behind the $82 million Series C and provides a breakdown of how the funds will be allocated, as not disclosed in the Home Health Care News report.
- Whether state agencies adopt or pilot Abby Care’s paid family caregiver model and announce contracts or program changes that reference the company’s training approach.
- Whether Abby Care discloses its valuation or releases operational plans showing how the Series C will expand training, staffing, or technology for family caregivers.

In January 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services implemented the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) for Medicare home health payments, reshaping reimbursement for home-based skilled services.
The federal home health framework traces to the Medicare program (Social Security Act, Title XVIII), enacted in 1965, which established the Home Health Benefit that governs payment and eligibility.
