Betterleave

Betterleave is a family caregiver conversational messaging platform that pairs human-powered, digital-first communication with grief-informed, compassionate resources. It ensures families caring for loved ones with serious illnesses or at end-of-life are supported as a valued part of the healthcare continuum. Betterleave helps home health providers, hospice groups, health systems, employers, and insurers realize stronger referral sources, improved care quality, and staff efficiency. Founded in 2022 by Cara McCarty Abbott and Albert Swantner, Betterleave introduces a new category—bereavement care—striving to make understanding and navigating death care effortless for both providers and families. The platform equips HR partners and managers with tools and insights to support employees experiencing bereavement, and helps healthcare providers meet CMS bereavement communication requirements while improving CAHPS scores.
