Three decades of compassionate, hands-on leadership at Caring Companion.

Partner & Director of Care

Sunita Kayastha, RN, BSN

Sunita Kayastha has dedicated more than three decades to caring for seniors and their families. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from The Catholic University of America and is a registered nurse — a combination that has shaped her approach as Partner and Director of Care since she joined Caring Companion in 1991, one that balances nursing expertise with sound, sustainable business practices across the company's network of licensed homes throughout Silver Spring, Maryland. Earlier in her career, she worked in the emergency room and ICU at Washington Adventist Hospital, experience that continues to inform her calm, decisive approach to care today.

Sunita's nursing background informs every aspect of how Caring Companion approaches senior care — from daily wellness monitoring to coordinating with families and care providers during life's most difficult transitions. Families and referring attorneys alike know her for her compassionate, hands-on approach: she personally meets with prospective residents and their loved ones to understand their needs and ensure the right fit before they ever move in.

"The best care comes from treating every resident like family — for over 30 years, that's exactly what we've done."
— Sunita Kayastha, RN
