It combines professional design and installation teams, with occupational therapists' expertise, to create a stylish, functional and safe living space that allows seniors to remain independent in their homes. SageHome offers a rapid service to homeowners who are proactively preparing their homes to allow them to age-in-place comfortably, and also provides services to individuals who are transitioning from care facilities to their own home. SageHome's mission is to provide a full service, national solution to the market, which will enable seniors and people with disabilities to live independently at home and will help to reduce hospital admissions and readmissions across the US.

SageHome's first acquisition, New Bath Today Inc. ("NBT") is an award winning bathroom renovation specialist, with particular focus on the wet area of the bathroom - one of the key risk areas in the home for aging seniors. Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana and currently serving six states across the Midwest, NBT provides elegant bathroom solutions, such as walk-in baths and low threshold showers, which can be installed within a day with minimum disruption to homeowners.
