LOUIS, MO -- May 18, 2022 -- Veterans Home Care’s Bonnie Laiderman received the 2022 Hall of Honor award at McKnight’s Women of Distinction awards program held May 12, 2022 in Chicago, Illinois. Laiderman, founder of VHC, was one of 18 honorees of vice-presidential status or higher recognized for having a dynamic impact in the senior living, skilled nursing or home care industry. “It was simply amazing to be among such a distinguished group of women who have achieved the pinnacle in the senior living industry,” said Laiderman, who founded Veterans Home Care in 2003. “McKnight’s truly understands the home care industry and the older adults who need quality care including our veterans and their surviving spouses. Overall we are proud to have helped over 20,000 veterans and their spouses nationwide receive the care they need through a little-known VA benefit. We are thankful to our entire team who are truly dedicated to helping those who have served in the military.” The Hall of Honor is a joint effort of McKnight’s Senior Living and sister media brands McKnight’s Long-Term Care News and McKnight’s Home Care. All Women of Distinction honorees are selected by an independent panel of judges. The winners were selected from hundreds of nominations. Overall, 27 states were represented across all award groupings.
