Operator, Co-owner & Co-founder of Velida's Care Home LLC
Hello. Welcome to Velida's Care Home. So nice to have you here.
Yolandita and her mother Gertrude are the co-owners & founders of Velida's Care Home LLC. They have always had a passion for helping others. With many years of experience in both the hospitality and customer service industry, they chose to start their own adult foster care home in Spring of 2022. Yolandita discovered her love of Gerontology in Nursing school, during her clinical rotations. Although both Yolandita & Gertrude enjoyed the experience that they gained from working in nursing facilities; they remained unfulfilled. They longed for more one-on-one time with their residents.
Yolandita & Gertrude's favorite aspect of being providers in an adult foster care home, is the low provider-to-resident ratio. Lower resident ratios are associated with lower mortality rates, fewer hospital visits, and falls. Research shows that client outcomes are far greater in this type of setting.
In addition to consistently providing person-centered care, Yolandita & Gertrude value culture and diversity; they understand that honoring residents and their cultural backgrounds, is often a neglected aspect of person-centered care; yet it is one of the most important aspects of delivering quality care to residents. Their dedication to cultural diversity is reflected in the care that they provide to their residents and in their choice of staff members as well. Velida's Care Home is a multi-lingual foster care home. Yolandita, Gertrude & the staff members at Velida's Care Home are all fluent in English and are conversant in either Spanish or French.
Aside from her passion for Nursing and healthcare, Yolandita enjoys singing & playing the guitar. She is currently pursuing her Bachelors in Science of Nursing, at Concordia St. Paul University. She is expected to graduate in the Fall of 2023.
In addition to her passion for healthcare, Gertrude enjoys reading & cooking a variety of delicious West Indian & Italian cuisines in her free time.
