TESTIMONIALS:

 

"My family was struggling with our decisions about what was best for my great Aunt's future after she fell and could no longer live at home alone. Veronica was able to help focus our situation into a few key considerations and pointed us to a local Geriatric Care Manager (GCM) who was a huge help to my father. With the help from knowledgeable and sincere professionals, we were able to move through this process with a lot less stress and much more confidence that we were making the right decision for my aunt. My father stated several times how much time and stress he saved by utilizing the services of his GCM. This experience was so positive that I recommended that Veronica and a GCM come speak to employees at my company so that they too could be aware of these wonderful services."

“I met with Veronica to discuss options for an elderly family member. She was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the choices available. Veronica has a huge range of resources in her head, and was able to put me in touch with those to whom I needed to speak regarding home care, facilities, etc. I'd positively recommend her services to anyone wondering about options for the elderly!”

“Veronica's work with elderly resources and clients is impressive in detail, caring, and going the extra mile. She is driven to deliver the best service available. The best recommendation I can give is that Veronica was the first person that I thought of to help give care to my parents. They were happy with the care they received and so was I.”

“Employee comments on a recent presentation on what they learned included how this is a very relevant subject not only for our employees but for advice for our clients; the need to work with parents before they need help and become defensive; that Veteran's benefits may be available to the widow of a veteran for care costs over her income; helpful hints on where to start your research and a link to someone who can help, and awareness of this growing problem.”

“I have known Veronica for several years. You can feel her passion for the elder care industry and it translates in the effort that she gives. She never stops to learn more and gives 100%.”

Tim S., Manager of Field Operations

“…she has devoted herself to helping businesses realize the importance of helping their employees through education and learning about the services available in the community. She is an excellent speaker and networker, as well as being a very compassionate person. I would recommend Veronica to any business searching for solutions to their employee eldercare challenges.”

 Lisa T., Director Public Relations

“She has educated herself in the field and would work with any corporation to create the best solutions according to their needs. She is innovative and is on the cutting edge in administering solutions to the problems that are only going to escalate in the future as the "baby boomer" population grows. She is the "go to person" in our industry…”

“As an owner of a Geriatric Care Management firm for the past 10 years, I understand the importance eldercare has on the workplace. The physical, emotional and financial roller coaster that working caregivers of the elderly are faced with everyday impacts their not only their work environment but their productivity, morale, effectiveness and efficiency.  Veronica Woldt's extensive knowledge and caring approach has been both an inspiration and benefit to our clients and their employers who struggle between understanding the role of the elder caregiver and the related challenges of the employer.”
