Elder, a London, UK-based care home alternative, raised another £8.2m in a funding.
The round, which brought total raised to £16.5m, was led by Acton Capital with participation from MMC Ventures.
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations and expand its development efforts to increase efficiency in every aspect of care delivery – from communication between carer and family to in-home monitoring.
