Lynne
Elgin, SC

I’d been researching hospice care while my mom was in another facility. I kept coming across Agape but I was assuming they only did in-home hospice care. My mom fell extremely ill and the doctor in that facility suggested she be sent to the hospital. While in the hospital I was informed that my mom had 24-72 hours to live and she could receive hospice care in the hospital. Guess who came to administer her hospice care?! Agape! God heard my cries and sent the best. Thank You Nurse Tk and Marc!

Irmo, SC

Dad was blessed to have an amazing home care team. His primary nurse and aide were incredible young ladies who exhibited compassion, faith and excellence. They honored Dad’s requests and served him with respect and dignity. More importantly, they became an extension of our family, supporting all five kids in Dad’s journey. Dad’s final hours at the Agape House were peaceful. We only wish we remembered the names of the angels who provided comfort and care. May the Lord continue to bless Agape.

The Agape team were very compassionate toward my Dad. It was always comforting to know that kindness and love were given to him in his final years. Thank you all for what you do every day, especially to Sharon who always made sure my Dad had everything he needed.

Bonnie
Ninety Six, SC

When Bonnie received the diagnosis of untreatable cervical cancer, she turned, naturally, to Agape Care Group, for whom she worked as a hospice nurse for 4 years. She believed she was doing God’s work in her time as a hospice nurse, providing faith-inspired care to those in great need. She saw her time with Agape Care as the pinnacle of her 27-year nursing career. The opportunity to provide support to families faced with having to say a final goodbye to their loved one was a gift from God.

Avia
St. Matthews, SC

Her time with Agape was short but they were very helpful and also very caring for her and my family. They gave us access to them on a daily basis. When she checked into hospice the day before she passed the nurse and CNA were at my home with her along with Mother, and they were so attentive to her despite all the pain she was having to where she couldn’t be touched. We as her family along with her kids wanna thank you guys for the short-term care you were able to give her while she was there.

Georgia
Florence, SC

Thank you to the entire Agape team for caring for our mother Georgia for 7+ years, first in an assisted living and then in a nursing home. The comfort in knowing that her Agape medical team and other staff would transition care from one facility to the next helped us during our difficult decision to move her. We especially appreciated the regular phone updates and support to family from her Agape social worker and chaplain during the pandemic facility lockdown when visitation was curtailed.
