Dr. Gladys Arrington Ellis is the co-founder of Good Shepherd Home Healthcare Inc., which she established with her husband in 2006. The company provides in-home personal care through its aides. Her approach to the business is shaped by her own lengthy rehabilitation following a serious accident and her firsthand understanding of the difference compassionate caregivers can make. She established the company with the goal of employing people who genuinely care about those they serve. Alongside her business responsibilities, Dr. Ellis emphasizes employee development and continuing education. She has encouraged individuals entering the field without experience to pursue CNA qualifications, with some continuing into nursing careers. Her educational background includes a Doctor of Divinity from Tabernacle Christian University in Goldsboro, North Carolina, and additional study and certificates through a partnership she described with Oral Roberts University. Her professional work is complemented by more than five decades of ministry and community counseling. In Rocky Mount, she has supported local churches, counseled gang members, and sought out residents in need of assistance. Her work brings together personal-care services, employee mentorship, and a sustained commitment to faith-centered community service.
My name is Dr. Gladys Arrington Ellis, and I co-founded Good Shepherd Home Healthcare Inc. with my husband in 2006. My commitment to compassionate care grew from a deeply personal experience. Following a serious accident in 1992, I spent approximately eight years in rehabilitation and learned firsthand how much it matters to have caregivers who genuinely care. That experience inspired me to build a company focused on helping people receive personal care in their homes from individuals who recognize the importance of kindness and attention.
My work extends beyond the day-to-day responsibilities of running a business. I encourage our employees to continue learning, pursue their CNA credentials, and consider further opportunities in nursing. Seeing someone begin without experience and develop the confidence and skills to move forward is an important part of the work we do.
Faith and service are central to my life. Through more than five decades of ministry, community counseling, and support for local churches, I have remained committed to meeting people where they are and helping them address their needs. Whether I am supporting a client, encouraging an employee, or speaking with someone in my community, my purpose remains the same: to help people and encourage them to keep moving forward.
