Laxmi Chhetri

Founder & Director, BSN, RN-BC

Every great mission begins with a personal journey. For Laxmi Chhetri, BSN, RN-BC, the path to founding Dignity Transition Care started humbly and grew into a calling rooted in service, compassion, and dignity.

Laxmi began his healthcare career at the ground level, working as a housekeeper and clinical assistant at Ascension. Those early experiences gave him a deep appreciation for the importance of safety, cleanliness, and compassion in healing environments. They also showed him how even small acts of care can make a meaningful difference for patients and their families.

Determined to expand his ability to serve, Laxmi pursued nursing and earned his Associate Degree in Nursing from Austin Community College. He continued his education at the University of Texas at Arlington, where he is completing his Master of Science in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner.

Today, as the founder of Dignity Transition Care, Laxmi is committed to helping families access compassionate, reliable, and personalized care that allows their loved ones to remain safe, supported, and respected at home.
