Mission Statement
The mission of Agape Hospice Care is to provide quality care for patients faced with a life-limiting illness. We assist any person with a terminal illness with the ability to live with little or no pain or suffering and to accept death without fear.
Description
Agape Hospice Care was a nurse-owned and family-run hospice that believes in providing the best care possible. At Agape Hospice Care, we support an individual’s Goal to live each day as they decide, whether in the home or at a facility. Agape Hospice Care Volunteers are an integral part of the Hospice team.
