Gentiva Health Services was founded on August 6, 1999, when Olsten Corporation split off its healthcare assets to form an independent, public company. Olsten Corporation was founded in 1946 by William Olsten. The company grew through the 50s, 60s, and 70s, and in 1971, it began focusing on its health care division under the name Olsten Healthcare. In the 90s its health care division began acquiring other companies. The division acquired Upjohn Health Services, and after an acquisition of Lifetime Corporation, which included Office Angels, it became the largest provider of home healthcare services, operating as Olsten Kimberly QualityCare. In 1995 Olsten Kimberly QualityCare launched CareCentrix, and a year later, the company entered the home infusion business by acquiring Quantum Health Resources. That same year it acquired NeuroCare Rehab Without Walls, and became the sole national provider for Cigna HealthCare. It also acquired Nurses House Call, and in 1997, it changed its name to Olsten Health Services.
