Affinity Hospice
Affinity Hospice is a Medicare-certified hospice provider serving Birmingham, Alabama and surrounding areas. A Medicare-certified hospice provides comfort care and support services to patients with terminal illnesses and their families. Hospice care focuses on quality of life rather than curative treatment.
Hospice care is available to patients whose physician certifies they have a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course. Patients may receive hospice care at home, in a hospice facility, nursing home, or hospital.
Medicare-certified hospices must provide all four levels of hospice care: routine home care, continuous home care for periods of crisis, general inpatient care for symptom management, and inpatient respite care to give caregivers a break. Care is provided by an interdisciplinary team including physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and trained volunteers.
Medicare covers hospice services with no cost to patients for most services, including medications for symptom control, medical equipment, and 24-hour access to care. For more information about hospice benefits, visit Medicare.gov. Compare hospice providers at Medicare Care Compare.
Quality data and provider information are updated periodically by CMS. We recommend verifying current information at Medicare Care Compare.

My mom passed last October. During her time with Affinity Hospice, we were blessed with great caregivers, nurses and a wonderful chaplain. After she passed I was able to receive grief counseling for 13 months, which just ended this month! I really appreciate what they did for my mom and me!! I highly recommend them.
We love Affinity. The staff is wonderful and our Mother’s nurse Mildred and her bath aide Alexis are the best. Mildred & Alexis really take great care of our Mother. Mildred & Alexis go beyond the call of duty to take care of Mrs.Bernice Henderson. We have a great team for our Mother. We wouldn’t have it any other way. We take our hats off to Mildred and Alexis for the level of great care that they give to our Mother. Thank you Affinity for sending Mildred and Alexis to our Mother (Mrs.Bernice Henderson) our Mother doesn’t know who we are but she recognize faces. (and by the way the others are good too) Tia & Dr. Hurst is very helpful and we appreciate them as well. Thank you so much Felicia & Roselyn Pickings (The daughter)
Nothing is more devastating than a loved one’s last days. Using Affinity Hospice allowed my husband to die with comfort and dignity. Every Affinity employee showed such compassion as well as professionalism to my husband and to me a;d met our needs with efficiency.
The Patient name was Unique Rasheed Jackson. I am his oldest sister and primary caregiver at his request. He suffered with Colon Cancer and Chemotherapy for 18 Months. His end of Life started with his Hospice Care nine days in the Hospital and three days at home with Affinity Hospice Care. I was so happy for the support for my Brother and Me. Everything we needed was provided and on time with professional and loving care from the medical equipment delivery man, the initial set up Nurse (at the house before the ambulance arrived), the assigned Nurse(educated me on how to do things when she is away), the bathing Nurse (gently and cautiously handle and cleaned him thoroughly), I likes the access to calling for concerns and direction even up to the call to announce his death (the Nurse was there immediately and helped carried his body out) and the very tender hearted Chaplain who came and prayed over my Brother and then with me and even attended my Brother’s Funeral. We got all we needed and more. I highly recommend Affinity Hospice and will gladly use their services again if ever needed. Forever Grateful,💯 Cynthia Woodfin-Kellum🙏♥️
Affinity Hospice Care is professional and courteous. The nurses were knowledgeable. They were comforting from start to finish. We appreciate the time that was contributed and the professionalism as well as the process for our loved one, Michael. Carolyn Jones and Family
