Paula Enrietto, PhD
CEO
Dr. Paula Enrietto began her career as an academic scientist, during which time she carried out research in the field of oncology. However, most of her life was also spent as a caregiver for her large, close family. When her mother became ill, Paula discovered the difficulty of long-distance caregiving and relocated to become an active caregiver and medical advocate for her mother. This very personal family situation encouraged a career change, and she brought her skills to the senior healthcare industry, where she was Executive Director of the independent living communities at Balfour Senior Living in Louisville, CO. She soon recognized the need for personalized, quality home care and care management services to help seniors live the best life possible, for as long as possible.
To meet these needs, Dr. Enrietto acquired AffirmiCare, a company that has provided quality services to individuals with cognitive and physical challenges for over 13 years. Paula believes education is key to "enhancing independence during life challenges" and is a committed educator and Client advocate.
Dr. Enrietto was President of the Louisville Senior Foundation, which provided heat relief to seniors in Louisville, CO. Her passion for improving the well-being and health of all led her to be part of health teams delivering services in Lesotho, Rwanda, Nepal, and Peru through the non-profit Advent Global Health. She also served as Site Coordinator for the 9Health Fair in Louisville, CO, a non-profit that provides low-cost health screenings to the public. Paula is currently serving on the board of the Hover Senior Living Community in Longmont, Colorado, and the board of the Knobel Institute for Healthy Aging at Denver University.
