At a young age, Arnel was instilled with a high work ethic, family values, and a desire to serve others. At the age of 13, his father passed away, and Arnel’s mother started a family nursing home in Fullerton to help support the family while working her day job as a Dietician in local nursing/healthcare facilities throughout Orange County. For over 30 years, Arnel and his mother’s family nursing home has provided families and seniors with dignified care and a true sense of family belonging.
