Amara I. Udokporo, MHA, co-founder, president and chief executive officer of Graceful Home Care Services LLC, has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Health Care Professionals for dedication, achievements, and leadership in residential, nursing home and long-term care.
Over the past 25 years, Ms. Udokporo has established herself as a leader in the world of health care administration, with a particular focus on residential, nursing home and long-term care. After immigrating to the United States from her home country of Nigeria as a teenager, her career started in 2000 as an emergency room registrar, discharge counselor and financial clerk at Columbia Medical Center of Arlington Subsidiary L.P. Ms. Udokporo devoted five years to her role as a patient claims specialist with Parallon, followed by working as part of the data initiative at the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council. She spent another five years associated with Gainwell Technologies LLC (formerly HMS), initially hired as a credit balance auditor before being promoted to senior auditor, where she fulfilled team lead and project manager duties on a variety of projects.
Showcasing extensive growth throughout her professional journey, Ms. Udokporo later contributed as a government claims resolution specialist at HSHS St. John’s Hospital, a biopharmaceutical consultant at DK Pierce & Associates Inc., a manager in managed care with Myers and Stauffer LC, compliance auditor lead at ATC, and health care associate at Milliman Inc. Culminating her career, she co-founded Graceful Home Care LLC alongside her husband in 2025. Also serving as the company’s president and chief executive officer, she is deeply involved in day-to-day operations, including supporting clients directly and coordinating with nurses and other professionals. Graceful Home Care Services LLC provides respectful, compassionate long-term care to elderly individuals, providing such assistance as grocery shopping, home cleaning, meal preparation, medication reminders and more. Ms. Udokporo initiated the creation of this business in 2023, but it took more than 2 years for it to finally fully take shape. She considers reaching this milestone to be the highlight of her career.
Ms. Udokporo’s performance in the field was born of her academic journey. She obtained a Bachelor of Science in biology, graduating with honors from The University of Texas at Arlington. Subsequently, Ms. Udokporo earned a Master of Science in health care administration from the same institution. She was inspired to pursue a career in elder care by witnessing the needs of her aging parents, and was further encouraged by a friend who worked in a similar business.
Equally committed to civic advocacy, Ms. Udokporo is a regular volunteer at her local church, where she supports pregnant or recently pregnant women and their infants. She provides mentorship to these women, as well as material support, including transportation and cleaning. Ms. Udokporo has also volunteered with Cancer Support Community Central Indiana since 2015 and So Big since 2019. She is a member and partner with the Central Indiana Council on Aging.
Outside of her professional life, Ms. Udokporo is a loving wife and mother to four children. She dedicates the majority of her free time to her family. For her future endeavors, Ms. Udokporo is primarily focused on making a positive impact on her community through the growth of Graceful Home Care Services LLC. Her current goal is to reach a milestone of 200 clients while also exploring opportunities for community engagement and enrichment outside of the business.
