Why Choose Affinity Home Hospice?
The needs of our patients and their families always come first. We are not part of some big out-of-state hospice corporation or multi-location agency. We never cut corners or place limits on service. We are trustworthy and compassionate local folks who truly believe in the real mission of hospice.
- We maintain at all times a full staff of experienced, committed and highly competent personnel who genuinely believe in and strive to achieve our mission. We never compromise the care and well being of our patients so we never ever use employees from temporary staffing agencies to handle case management and regular patient care, a practice routinely used by many hospices in our marketplace.
- Affinity’s field nursing staff is comprised entirely of registered nurses (RN’s). This ensures that each patient receives the very best care possible since hospice patients usually experience many changes during the end-of-life process. Affinity’s RN’s have the skill and expertise needed to adroitly assess and manage the end-of-life process.
- Affinity’s all RN nursing staff has over 127 years of nursing experience with more than 37 years of that experience directly in hospice care. Our nursing staff knows and understands hospice care!
- We are the only hospice in our area that maintains an ongoing employee evaluation process that identifies and measures both employee competence and level of commitment to our mission. This process helps to ensure that every Affinity patient receives consistently exceptional care delivered by a staff of professionals that are fully engaged in what they are doing.
- Affinity’s Medical Director is a board certified internist and also one of only a handful of board certified palliative and hospice care physicians in the entire state of Alabama. He is uniquely qualified to oversee the care of our patients.
- Affinity’s staff is available 24 hours per day/7days a week. Whenever you call Affinity, you always speak to a real person and never to a recorded message or voicemail.
- The Affinity Hospice Charity Foundation, an IRS approved 501(c) 3 charitable organization, is operated and managed by the employees of Affinity Home Hospice Services. The foundation provides financial and other support to Affinity patients and their families based on individual need.
