"The NICU was a place filled with uncertainty, fear, and overwhelming emotions, but you were a constant source of calm, strength, and compassion.
You didn’t just care for our baby, you cared for us. You took the time to explain things when we were scared, reassured us when we felt helpless, and celebrated even the smallest milestones with us. Your kindness, patience, and genuine love for what you do gave us hope on the hardest days. You made us feel supported, understood, and never alone. You will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we are forever grateful for the role you played in our journey. Thank you for being more than a nurse, you were a light in one of our darkest times.”

"Our son was born 6 weeks early via emergency C-section and diagnosed with Down syndrome at birth. He was rushed into the NICU.
For the following 18 days, we were welcomed and supported by the wonderful staff at our hospital. Ashley was one of these nurses. Her caring and nurturing ways greatly assisted us in knowing that we were capable of holding whatever came our way. She was gentle and reassuring, celebrating each and every little milestone with us while we were in hospital and afterwards. She continued to check in with us, wanting to know how Nic was doing and what little escapades he was getting himself into. Ashley has a true gift of guidance when it comes to supporting new parents and their newborns with medical difficulties. We are so blessed to have had her come into our lives."

"Our son’s complex medical history includes a heart condition, feeding difficulties requiring a G-tube, and frequent respiratory infections.
His care needs resulted in several hospital admissions, including over Christmas and New Year’s. Throughout this time, Ashley was consistently kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. She listened carefully, answered our questions, and ensured we felt supported during our most difficult moments. Her compassion and dedication made a significant difference, and we are deeply grateful for her care.”

Our daughter was diagnosed with Down Syndrome and an AVSD heart defect at birth which required her to be hospitalized in the N.I.C.U. for her first 8 weeks of life.
During this medically complex time, she was in the care of many caring nurses and doctors, but one stood out and brought us immense care, knowledge and comfort, and that was Ashley, who we nicknamed our nurse ‘Angel’. Her care, compassion, dedication and selflessness is unmeasurable with all her patients. She is professional & knowledgeable and always brings her best for the children and the families she cares for. Months later our daughter underwent a successful heart repair and was thriving.

Founded by Ashley Kennelly, a Masters-educated RN with 16+ years in NICU & Pediatrics.
I have had an incredible career as a bedside nurse caring for a wide variety of patients from newborns to 17 years old.
When families would ask me, 'Can you just come home with us?' it stayed with me. That question is the heart of Roots Home Health.
I am here to bring my expertise to your living room. I’ll share my knowledge, stand beside you or tag you out when you need a break.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, unsure or alone. It doesn’t have to be that way. Reach out to create an action plan together.
