In-Home Private Health Care Agency
Affinity Health provides personalized in-home care, staffing solutions and transitional care services. Our company began with a focus on home care with the notion that seniors wanted a health care service with a personal touch. The company was founded on the principles of respect, independence, and dignity, and today our mission is to inspire confidence in everything our caregivers do and do so with dignity and empathy each and every shift.
This company was started in 1994. As Affinity Health progressively enhanced the lives of their clientele their business grew into an organization of individuals dedicating their lives to providing quality care for the thousands of seniors they have served.
Today, while we still provide home care to a great many clients, we also serve retirement homes, long term care homes, and hospitals by providing qualified staff and caring for patients in transition from institutional settings to their homes.
