Heart to Heart Home Care

My company’s roots began in 1926, when my grandmother Velma Pust was born in Lambert, Montana. Growing up she would tell me stories about farm life in eastern Montana and the hard life her family lived which formed her into a 5’1” german spitfire of love. Velma graduated from Sidney high school and moved to Livingston, MT where she worked side-by-side with Carl Wilcoxson’s son Harold, at Wilcoxson’s Confectionary. Velma met her husband, Walter, a janitor at the local hospital who frequented Wilcoxson’s Confectionary in 1946, they were married in two short weeks and moved back to Lambert, MT to start selling Velma’s cattle. Velma and Walter were blessed with 5 grandchildren and 2 great granddaughters before they passed.

You are probably wondering how this backstory relates to Heart to Heart Home Care…Velma was struggling with the signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, she was officially diagnosed in 2000. There was a significant lack of resources that could help guide our family through these changes- when my grandma almost burned the house down, with my little brother inside, I made it my mission to learn all about this debilitating disease.
