"When I first learned about Elvo, I felt there might finally be a way to help my partner, Vonnie, find comfort at night. Vonnie has dementia and has had multiple strokes, making it hard for her to speak. She often wakes up distressed, and the one thing I know could bring her peace is hearing familiar words and memories from her childhood—like getting cheeseburgers with her dad. The team at Elvo is helping bring that gentle, familiar presence to life, and just thinking about the comfort this will bring to her means everything to me.
Elvo offers us something truly special—a way for Vonnie to feel connected, even when I can’t be by her side. Knowing that Elvo will also notify the care staff to check on her if she needs more help gives me real peace of mind. I’m grateful for this chance to make a difference in her comfort and happiness."
