 Our Mission

At AKIN Home Care, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional specialized homecare services tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients. Our commitment to providing compassionate and professional care sets us apart. We strive to create a warm and supportive environment for individuals and families in our community, ensuring their well-being and comfort are our top priorities.

Our Why

Our founder and president, Tamara McDuffie once heard, “Create the solutions you seek.”  She pondered and brainstormed for months. Finally, after realizing that the familial care she sought for her family members was nonexistent, she decided to birth Akin Homecare.  With a promise of delivering homecare services that leave patients feeling like they are always with family, she created the agency to be a source of support that feels like a family away from family. 

 

We care for individuals outside of healthcare systems to contribute to a decrease in the patient’s unnecessary return to hospitals or emergency care agencies.  From self-care and personal care support to care for patients living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, we do our best to treat our clients like kin.

“Akin”, meaning “related by blood” or “descended from a common ancestor or prototype”, is the embodiment of the way we engage with and love our clients. We believe that blood may be the closest form of relation as it pertains to science, but care, trustworthiness, and loyalty redefine what it means to be of kin. We treat your family like ours because....Well, they are our family. Akin Homecare believes that care should be extended beyond the support of a physician. In fact, studies show that aftercare support directly contributes to a positive trend in a patient’s sustainability and livelihood post-treatment or healthcare services. 

 

Akin Homecare employs a team of homecare direct service professionals who are trained and experienced in delivering optimal homecare services. No matter the age, race, gender, or economic status of a client, we strive to serve individuals who need care in the comfort of their own homes. We work to ensure clients practice self-love, self-care, and remember their self-worth is not dictated by ailments, illnesses, or diseases
