About Avanlee Care

We built this because we watched a family do it the hard way.

Avanlee Care is a caregiver engagement platform built for health plans. We find the family members already coordinating your members' care, and give them tools that make the job lighter, which turns out to be the most reliable way to close a care gap.

Our story

Eight years of watching a family hold it together.

When our founder Avanlee Christine was young, her grandfather fell ill. For the next eight years she watched her grandmother, her parents, and her aunts and uncles all take turns caring for him by coordinating over the phone, tracking medications on paper, and absorbing the strain in the parts of their lives nobody talks about.

Nobody in that family called themselves a caregiver. They were just the people who handled it. And nothing in the healthcare system around them was built with them in mind.

There had to be a better way to support the people providing the care. The technology just wasn't there yet.

Avanlee Care was founded in 2019 to build it. What started as a set of tools for families has become a platform that health plans use to reach the caregivers behind their members, the people most likely to actually get a screening scheduled, a prescription filled, or a wellness visit onto the calendar.

We are headquartered in Billings, Montana, which is not an accident. Caregiving in a rural state means long drives, thin provider networks, and families covering distances that would be unthinkable elsewhere. If it works here, it works.

What we believe

Three things that shape every decision we make.

Compassion

We start from empathy. Caregivers carry an emotional and physical load that rarely gets acknowledged, and we build for the person having a hard week, not the person in a product demo.

Empowerment

Caregivers should have the knowledge and confidence to make good decisions without waiting for permission. Our job is to make them more capable, not more dependent.

Craftsmanship

We believe in doing things right. Every part of the platform is held to a standard that assumes someone's parent is on the other end of it, because someone's parent always is.
