Meet Our Team
Arun is responsible for operations and business development. Arun collaborates with other members of the staff to ensure that clients receive a very personal and high quality in-home care. He reaches out to potential partners such as Non-Profit Councils on Aging, Assisted Living and Rehabilitation Centers, Elder Attorneys and Geriatric Care Managers to offer our quality live-in and hourly home care services. His years of experience as a business manager and customer service manager in the service industry gives Arun the skills necessary to effectively deliver service of the highest quality. Arun’s personal experience with his grand father, who was rendered immovable by a stroke and an aging aunt rendered immovable by a back injury, caused him to seek out better solutions for elder care. Arun is happy that Home Care Assistance of The Woodlands is able to make a difference in the lives of elders across North Houston and the Montgomery county area.
