Kevala

What Kevala does

Kevala is a cloud-based workforce management (WFM) platform purpose-built for healthcare staffing, with primary focus on senior living communities and skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). The platform delivers AI-driven scheduling, real-time workforce data visibility (pay rates, open shifts, staff availability), and compliance tracking through dedicated web portals for facility administrators (app.kevala.care) and frontline staff (my.kevala.care). Its proprietary optimization capability is Thea AI, an always-on scheduling assistant that automates shift assignment and compliance-aware scheduling decisions.

Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-based SaaS licensing sold to senior living operators, SNFs, hospitals, and clinics under annual contracts priced by facility size and module selection. Prior to June 2025, Kevala also operated a per diem nurse staffing marketplace that transacted on a fee-per-placement basis, but that business was divested to StaffDNA. The go-to-market is a hybrid motion: enterprise direct sales for multi-site operators (supported by a dedicated VP/GM for Senior Housing and Long-Term Care), self-serve staff and facility portals, and partnership-driven distribution through the PointClickCare Marketplace and an August Health integration.

In 2025, Kevala's WFM platform was integrated into the Residex AI platform, unifying workforce management with EHR, eMAR, billing/AR, compliance, supplemental staffing, and other senior-living modules; Kevala now operates as 'Kevala, a Residex company.' Named customers include GenCare Lifestyle, LCB Senior Living, and Charter Senior Living, alongside SNF customers reached via the PointClickCare Marketplace. The company has raised approximately $16.1M in funding (seed in October 2020 led by Vulcan Capital; Series A in February 2022 led by Cercano Management).
