Local Tech Professionals Transition to Senior Care Service in Round Rock

In a heartfelt decision, Tarun and Kokil Singhal, former technology professionals, have launched a senior care business named Always Best Care in Round Rock, Texas. Their journey was born from personal experiences that opened their eyes to the challenges families face as their loved ones age.

Both Tarun and Kokil have walked the path of caregiving, having attended to their grandfathers who suffered from limited mobility after strokes. This formative experience not only shaped their understanding of the urgency of support during such times but also fueled their desire to establish a business centered around compassion and care. Tarun recalls the struggle of balancing schoolwork while his father worked full-time, often feeling the pressure of needing help without any available resources to rely on. Likewise, Kokil understands the feelings of being far from loved ones, particularly her aging parents in India, which has given her unique insights into the emotional journeys families endure.

After living in Round Rock for fifteen years and raising their family in the community, the couple decided to convert their collective experiences into a community-centric mission. Their new venture serves senior citizens and families throughout Round Rock, Georgetown, Leander, and nearby Central Texas areas. With Williamson County’s demographic shifting, and an increase in the aging population, their role has never been more critical. Local census data shows that 13.7% of the area’s residents are now aged 65 or older, indicating a growing need for supportive care structures.

Tarun specifically highlighted the positive impact this transition could make, reflecting on how a helping hand could have made a substantial difference for his family during their time of need. He stated, “Now, we have the opportunity to provide that option for other families.” Kokil echoed his sentiments, adding that their caregivers can exist as a source of connection and support for families unable to be there physically for their elderly loved ones.

Transitioning from technology to the senior care sector is a significant leap. Tarun, who once thrived in tech and business sectors, is committed to utilizing their previous professionalism to enhance operations at Always Best Care. However, he remains convinced that technology should enhance rather than replace the human relationship pivotal to caregiving. “A computer can’t replace the human connection,” Tarun insists, asserting that the essence of caregiving lies in personal interaction and empathy.

The Singhals’ decision to open their business in Round Rock was deliberate, built on years of community engagement and connection. Their goal as new business owners is to foster relationships with healthcare providers, senior living facilities, and veterans’ organizations, positioning themselves as reliable local care providers as well.

As part of their mission within the community, the couple aims to employ 30 to 50 caregivers in their first year of operation, recognizing the direct correlation between professional support and family peace of mind. They are also gearing up to participate in local events such as the Walk to End Alzheimer’s – Williamson County, which showcases their commitment to creating a supportive environment for aging individuals and their family members.

Jake Brown, President and CEO of Always Best Care, praised Tarun and Kokil’s combined expertise and empathy, noting that their approach will lead to significant improvement in home-care advocacy within the region. He emphasized the importance of addressing local needs with urgency and the potential for positive impacts that go beyond business success.

Providing a spectrum of non-medical in-home care services and senior living referrals, Always Best Care of Round Rock offers personal care, respite care, transportation, Alzheimer's and dementia care, and more. Families interested in these services can easily connect with the company via their website, Always Best Care or by contacting them directly at (512) 616-1394.
