About Sunbound
Sunbound is on a mission to enhance, streamline and ultimately transform the financial processes for both senior living operators and their families. Today, senior living operators receive over 50% of payments by check and manage their financial processes through a range of siloed financial, billing and clinical systems. The lack of consistency leads to operational inefficiencies, financial underperformance and cash flow issues. At the same time, families find the current payments experience confusing, cumbersome and stressful. Sunbound was created to solve this problem by building the first modern, user-friendly, end-to-end platform that saves operators and families time, money and effort.
