Bergen County, NJ — Veramazo Elder Care Concierge has been voted the 2025 “Best Alternative / Complementary Medicine Service” in 201 Magazine’s Best of Bergen Community’s Choice Awards. The honor, decided entirely by public nominations and more than 300,000 community votes, recognizes the local businesses that deliver extraordinary value, expertise, and heart to the people of Bergen County.
Veramazo’s win places the boutique elder-care advocacy firm alongside more than 140 of the region’s most respected organizations, from restaurants and retailers to healthcare innovators. Company leaders Michael Linn, President, and Michelle Marceca, Executive Vice President, accepted the award at the sold-out gala on March 13.
“Proof We’re Making an Impact”
“Our number-one goal is to make an impact in the community,” said Michael Linn after the ceremony. “Winning this award—beyond being completely humbling and gratifying—is proof that we’ve accomplished just that. We started Veramazo because we saw something being done, but we thought it could be done better. We chose integrity and empathy as our pillars, and this recognition tells us those ideals resonate with families.”
Michelle Marceca added, “Winning this award is deeply personal. It’s a reminder that what we’re building at Veramazo is more than a service—it’s a movement to change the way elder care feels. We’re here to bring light, dignity, and guidance to families during some of their hardest moments. This honor tells me we’re not just dreaming—we’re truly making an impact.”
Why “Alternative / Complementary Medicine”?
The Best of Bergen category highlights organizations that fill crucial gaps in traditional healthcare. Veramazo stood out for providing holistic, real-world support that complements physicians’ medical plans and families’ legal directives. Its two flagship offerings are:
- Elder Placement (No Cost) – Clinical advisors match seniors with vetted home-care providers or senior-living communities that meet medical, emotional, and financial needs, at zero cost to the family.
- Clinical Advocacy (Private Pay) – A concierge team of nurses, social workers, and care navigators delivers ongoing medical advocacy, crisis support, and long-term planning to safeguard every senior’s quality of life.
By translating complex healthcare decisions into compassionate, day-to-day action plans, Veramazo embodies the very spirit of complementary care.
A Community-Driven Honor
The Best of Bergen program begins each October with public nominations. After advancing to the voting round, Veramazo emerged as the clear favorite thanks to widespread community support. “Your votes, trust, and encouragement brought this home,” the team wrote on social media. “This award belongs to every client and family who invited us into their lives.”
What’s Next for the Award-Winning Team?
Veramazo will use the momentum to expand its reach. “Helping more people—that’s our next priority,” Linn shared. “We’re growing our team carefully to ensure every new advisor shares our clinical expertise and our heart.” The company is actively recruiting nurses, social workers, and care coordinators who want to “change the way elder care feels” while enjoying a healthier work-life balance.
