Nina Diggs

The New 97.7 Woman Of The Week - Week Of May 20, 2019

Name: Nina Diggs

From: Canton, MA

About Woman Of The Week: Nina was born and raised in Boston. She is the mother of twin boys, and a board certified Adult Nurse Practitioner with specialized educational and clinical training in geriatric practice. She received both her Bachelor’s, and Master’s Degrees in Nursing from Simmons College, and has 16 years of combined experience in acute-care bedside nursing, primary care, home care, education, case management, and management.

Her identity and individuality were shaped in Boston, and she uncovered her life’s true calling of working with under-served seniors in the community to maintain health and wellness over the long term, with a focus on preventative care.

After a series of adverse medical events nearly cost her loving grandmother her life in the summer of 2016, Nina realized that there were gaps and weaknesses in the senior health care system. She made a decision to leave her full-time advanced practice nursing position to be at her grandmother’s bedside and inspired by this experience, Nina founded Elder Keepers, a private senior care management service. Through care coordination, the service allows seniors to remain healthy and safe at home during their golden years, while working to improve their well-being by overseeing their chronic health conditions. The business also provides much-needed support to busy adults faced with the challenges of aging loved ones. Nina is very compassionate and cares deeply for seniors which is why she is actively working towards making her Elder Keepers service a nonprofit.

When not busy seeing clients and building the small business, Nina remains very active within the nursing profession, holding a part-time job with a university-based wellness center, and she also completes health assessments on seniors in the community.

Nina’s Song Pick: TLC – “Baby, Baby, Baby”
