Ellen Minerd, Owner, Daughters with Degrees/CNP

A 1995 graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University, Ellen has more than 20 years of experience in the medical field. Ellen is certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and specializes in providing evaluations and care for adult patients. Contact us for a free consultation today. We’ll sit down with

you, discuss your needs, and set up a plan to give your loved one the care and comfort they deserve. We’ll complete the health assessments, the shopping lists and the meals. We’re here for your loved ones no matter what their needs. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could have more quality time with your loved one each day? If you could have an extra moment to share a laugh, a story, a hug? Our home health care services will give you that time by providing you the support you both need. Whether your loved one requires assistance with medical care, transportation, or could just use a hand around the house, we’re here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The best part is, your loved one can stay in their home, where they are most comfortable and the most at ease. And isn’t that what you both want? Our services include:

Medical Care:
Attending to a loved one’s medical needs can be complicated and confusing. Sometimes, you feel like you need a medical degree just to understand it all. That’s why we’re here. Our team of state-tested nurse assistants, licensed practical nurses and physical therapy assistants will make sure that your loved one is getting the very best care. We’ll start by conducting a thorough health assessment. And then we’ll work with you and your primary care physician to put a plan in place that works for everyone.

One of the most beautiful parts of caregiving is that it often becomes more than just a job — it becomes a relationship built on trust, friendship and memories!🩷

🌿 Gardening for a Healthy Mind 🌼
Did you know that spending time in the garden can boost mental health for older adults? Digging in the soil, soaking up the sun, and nurturing plants helps reduce stress, improve mood, and keep the mind sharp. It’s not just good exercise—it’s therapy in bloom! 🌞🪴

As temperatures rise, it’s especially important for our elderly loved ones to stay well-hydrated. Aging reduces our sense of thirst, making dehydration more common and dangerous in older adults.

✅ Encourage regular sips of water—even if they’re not thirsty
✅ Offer water-rich foods like fruits and soups
✅ Watch for signs of dehydration: dry mouth, confusion, or dizziness

A simple glass of water can make all the difference. Let’s keep our seniors cool, safe, and healthy this summer!
