Akanksha Bist

ComForCare Home Care | Round Rock, TX

“A licensed healthcare professional dedicated to making aging in place a reality.”

Where It All Started

Our owner Akanksha and her husband, Ameya, made the decision together to open an agency to serve their community and bring a valuable service to older adults who wish to age in place. Ameya had the privilege to care for his grandparents, only adding to his core belief to serve those who have given so much. While Akanksha didn’t have the opportunity to support her loved ones in a similar way, she too was committed to supporting elders. She also provided compassionate services throughout her career as a physical therapist for 12 years. This experience taught her that while she loved practicing physical therapy, her sessions were never long enough to build long-term meaningful relationships and provide educational and professional guidance to elders with changing needs to make aging in place a reality. This led her to providing in-home care which allows her to spend time with clients on her terms and care for clients like family as a constant resource that they can always turn to.

What Can You Expect

As a previous physical therapist in home health, Akanksha was trained to identify challenges associated with aging and most importantly look for a variety of solutions allowing older adults to always feel empowered to make a choice based on what they felt was best for them. The ability to zone in on someone’s needs while coming up with multiple solutions is an art that Akanksha perfected over the years. “My goal is to eliminate as many surprises as possible and make the idea of aging in place a reality and easy by taking the time to know every client and put them at the center of all that we do. We are here for our clients and will do everything we can to help them be their best.”

Akanksha and Ameya have both personally experienced how rewarding it can be to help, and they want to do more of it.
