About Veronica

Veronica is my 80-year-old mother-in-law’s companion. This being the first time that we had hired someone back in April 2026, we were not sure what to expect. There is quite a bit of an age difference between the two, however, Veronica has been more than willing and is quite able to keep her busy and entertained. Most of the time Veronica accompanies her to the Senior Center where they both enjoy playing Hand and Foot, Bunco, Pinocle, and Bingo. There is not a card game that either of them is unwilling to try, which is one of the things that my mother-in-law really appreciates about Veronica. That and her willingness to try new things and her being so proactive. While they are at the center if there is a break in the schedule, they listen to the Ole Time Fiddlers who entertain the Center on Mondays or view the art brought in by local artists. Other than heading over to the Senior Center, their favorite outing is going to the movies. And just like their willingness to try new card games they are the same when it comes to picking out movies. Reading this you will more than likely assume that my mother-in-law is quite healthy, but this is unfortunately not the case. She has both dementia and severe osteoporosis. Although she is highly functioning mentally, she still has bad days which is the same when she is not moving too well due to her mobility issues. Veronica is extremely patient with her and understands how to manage her during her “moments” which is what we call her having a difficult day. The care and understanding she puts into her time with my mother-in-law is obvious when I see them together. If you are ever in need of someone to help care for your elderly parent, I would strongly trust and recommend Veronica as someone to help you in your time of need.
