Roystan Pais
Executive Director
Hello, I am Roystan Pais. I am the Executive Director at The Bluffs. My family life initially brought me to Missouri from India. I received an MBA in Finance from Kelley Business School at Indiana University followed by US citizenship. When I started managing senior living communities and caring for seniors 10 years ago, I quickly realized the most rewarding part was building relationships and making lasting friendships. It is now my passion. The tremendous gratitude and appreciation shown by the seniors and their families has lured me into the field deeper. I am highly involved in our local healthcare community and really enjoy it as a fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives (FACHE). I teach healthcare management to Indiana University healthcare management students in my free time. Feel free to reach out to me anytime if I can assist you.
