Daniel Kuo speaks at Fiduciary Round Table MeetingSpeaker: Daniel Kuo, Rose Valley Assisted Living Homes

Daniel was born and raised in the San Gabriel Valley and graduated from Arcadia High School. Then he went on to receive his degree in Business Administration at UC Riverside. He eventually became a Registered Investment Advisor at New York Life, helping families with insurance and financial planning.

In 2013, he left California to chase the oil boom in North Dakota, where he worked on a 237-acre master planned community development project for nearly three years. Daniel eventually returned home to the San Gabriel Valley, opening his first Rose Valley assisted living home in 2017 and later opening his first medical care home in 2021. Daniel now owns and operates three assisted living homes in Pasadena, Altadena and Arcadia, as well as three medical care homes in Simi Valley, Altadena and Duarte.

When he’s not caring for the elderly and medical patients, he enjoys playing golf, basketball, and poker, while attending as many Lakers and Dodgers games as possible.
