About Us

Keeping Older Adults Hospital-Free

We’re revolutionizing older adult care, one individual at a time

You’re here because you or someone you care about has a chronic illness. We understand the problem because we have loved ones who do too.

As we navigate healthcare with our aging parents, we realize that there are too many gaps and much room for improvement. We formed Embrace to provide consistent, excellent care for chronic illnesses, enabling you to stay healthy, out of the hospital and live safely and independently in your homes.

When you engage with your nurse, stay on your medications and follow your prevention care plan, you remain healthy and vital. That’s a win for all of us!
