Founder and CEO
John Shafaee is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ALIS, Assisted Living’s Intelligent Software. Under John’s leadership, ALIS has grown into one of the industry’s most innovative and forward-thinking technology partners, serving assisted living, memory care, and independent living operators nationwide. He has led the company’s evolution from a clinical EHR platform into a fully integrated operating system that unifies CRM, clinical, billing, AI, and business intelligence.
John is driven by a passion to solve challenging problems in the senior living space, with a special focus on increasing length of stay. His obsession sometimes takes him outside the office, where he likes to drop in on senior living communities and meet with current (and future) ALIS customers. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his teenage son and two cats.
