TCARE and Innovative Data Systems Announce Strategic Partnership to Strengthen Caregiver Support Nationwide

January 12, 2026

TCARE® and Innovative Data Systems (IDS), developer of the AgingIS platform used by Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) and Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) nationwide, today announced a strategic partnership designed to transform how aging services organizations support family caregivers.

Caregiver Support: A Critical Pillar Supporting Older Adults

Family caregivers make it possible for older adults to remain safely in their homes and communities—a cornerstone of healthy aging that also reduces pressure on an already overextended healthcare system.

Yet caregivers are experiencing rising levels of stress as they juggle the competing demands of caregiving, family responsibilities, and work, all while trying to navigate support systems that are often fragmented and difficult to access.

A New Standard for Caregiver Support in Aging Services

Through this partnership, TCARE will be offered as a premium enhancement to the AgingIS platform. Users of TCARE will have the option to integrate with AgingIS as their case management system of record, and users of AgingIS will have the option to access TCARE’s suite of caregiver services.

Organizations who use both systems can tap into a powerful combination:

TCARE’s Evidence-Based Caregiver Support Model

• Predictive risk scoring to identify caregivers most at risk of burnout

• Comprehensive caregiver assessments

• Personalized care plans tailored to caregiver strengths, needs, and care environment

• Digital caregiver engagement tools

• Outcomes tracking and trending to demonstrate impact

TCARE has documented success in reducing caregiver burden by 45% and achieving significant healthcare cost savings through delayed institutionalization and reduced emergency department visits.

AgingIS’s Software Platform for Aging Services

AgingIS is a full-suite case management and service delivery software system used by AAAs, CBOs, and Community Care Hubs. AgingIS supports:

• Information & Assistance and Referrals

• Case Management across the full client lifecycle

• Service Provider solutions for home-delivered meals, congregate meals, transportation, caregiver support, and other critical aging services

• Compliant Reporting for NAPIS, OAAPS, grants, and other state/federal reports

By embedding TCARE’s evidenced-based protocol directly into AgingIS workflows, organizations will benefit from:

• Advanced integrations that eliminate duplicative data entry

• Automated workflows that reduce administrative burden

• Clean, unified client and caregiver records inside AgingIS

• Seamless coordination between caregiver assessments, care plans, and service delivery

AAAs and CBOs will gain unprecedented visibility into caregiver needs and outcomes—strengthening Community Care Hub models by enabling more effective planning, targeted service delivery, and stronger alignment with federal priorities around caregiver support.

A Partnership Rooted in Mission

“Caregiver support is not an add-on; it is a critical pillar of community-based care,” said Lindsey Neimeier, CEO of TCARE. “This partnership brings together AgingIS as the system of record and TCARE as the caregiver support, enabling AAAs and CBOs to identify risk earlier, deliver the right support faster, and clearly track outcomes that strengthen families, communities, and long-term sustainability.”

“At Innovative Data Systems, we view technology as a catalyst for impact. AAAs and CBOs utilize the AgingIS platform as their system of record and system of action, helping their teams deliver essential support services to older adults and people with disabilities,” said J.Y. Chia, Co-CEO of Innovative Data Systems. “By partnering with TCARE, we are uniting two leading solutions to advance Community Care Hub models—enabling AAAs and their provider networks to coordinate caregiver support more effectively and deliver timely, meaningful services that sustain the well-being of the communities we serve.”
