Our Story
Built on faith, family, and 25+ years of compassionate care.
Where It All Began
Amity Health Care was founded with one mission in mind: to provide compassionate, trustworthy, and personalized care that allows individuals to remain safe and comfortable in the place they call home.
Founded by Elizabeth Nkafu, an experienced registered nurse with over 25 years in healthcare, Amity was built from a deep passion for serving others and supporting families during some of life’s most important moments. Throughout her years in nursing, Elizabeth witnessed the growing need for care that goes beyond basic assistance – care rooted in dignity, compassion, patience, and integrity.
At Amity, we understand that e every individual’s needs is unique, which is why we take a personalized approach to every care plan we create. Whether supporting seniors, individuals recovering from illness, or families navigating long-term care needs, our goal is to bring peace of mind while delivering high-quality care with compassion.
We believe families should never feel alone in the caregiving journey. Our team is committed to building meaningful relationships, creating a safe environment, and helping clients maintain independence and quality of life at home.
At Amity we “Care With Integrity”.
/ ˈam·ə·tē / – noun
Amity means friendly and peaceful relations, a spirit of genuine goodwill, harmony, and trust between people. It is the kind of bond that makes a stranger feel like family.
We chose this name because we believe that caregiving, at its very best, is not a transaction, it is a relationship built on mutual respect, warmth, and trust. When we are invited into your home, we come in as partners in your loved one’s care journey.
