Paul Alavathil, Director of Business Development
​
For over 10 years Paul has been a great resource to family caregivers and community partners. He is a great listener and empathetic to the demands placed on spouses, daughters and others who jump to the call of supporting an aging loved one. He does his best to understand your unique situation and will provide you with options that address the challenges you and your loved one face. He can help you navigate a hospital to home discharge, speak to the value of one-to-one support in retirement or long-term care or assist you in finding a compatible caregiver to support your loved one in any place that they call home, whether those needs be minimal to complex. He is highly responsive and thinks outside the box; you are in great hands with Paul! His favorite things: matcha, cycling, travel and his nephews … but not necessarily in that order. 😉

Lastly, Andrew has a love for books, ranging from classic literature to self-improvement guides.
