Ingram's Magazine Calls Bonnie Laiderman 1 of 50 Missourians You Should Know

April 13, 2020

Ingram's Kansas City Business Magazine has been profiling Missouri business movers and shakers for a decade and this year Veterans Home Care CEO & Founder, Bonnie Laiderman, landed in that spotlight.

The article in their March 2020 edition focused on the key to Bonnie's success: finding a need and filling it.

Here's what Ingram's Magazine had to say about the CEO of Veterans Home Care:

Bonnie Laiderman started a company to solve a problem. She founded Veterans Home Care after becoming frustrated when the approval process for a little-known veterans benefit that could have helped provide care for her ailing mother wasn’t approved in time. Laiderman’s stepfather served in World War II, making her mother eligible for the “aid and attendance” pension offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. 

“We say we’re in the business of changing lives and we really do,” said Laiderman, who also serves on committees at the American Red Cross.

This perk assists vets, who have served in certain conflicts, and their spouses who need the help of another person. Laiderman learned that many veterans and their families fail to access available VA benefits because they just don’t know about them. Her experience made her realize there was a need and she decided she could fill it. Laiderman started her business in 2003. 

Since then, her solo home care business has grown to about 100 employees across the country and is one of the largest women-owned companies in the St. Louis Metro Region with multiple locations throughout the country. 

“We say we’re in the business of changing lives and we really do,” said Laiderman, who also serves on committees at the American Red Cross.”
