Agape Hospice

Words cannot express how grateful we are to the staff at Agape. They were so incredible with my father. The patience, love, care and support he received there was amazing. I don't know how we would have handled the end of his illness without the staff there. Thank you so much to Dr. Bach, Mary Anne, DJ, Eddie, Norman, just to name a few of the stars that work there.

Dealing with individuals that are near death is a job that not many can attain. Thank you to every single person working at this facility, gently assisting the living to the other side.Special shout out to Janice for leaving the door open for my grandmother Corleana.God Bless- Camilla

After spending four months here, we really felt Agape had become our second home. We were sad to leave, but we left with warm and memorable experiences. We did have some concerns with some of the staff, specifically the late night RA and RN, including Damian and Lucy, and felt it was necessary to stay over night with our loved one. It was a little concerning because they seemed to be understaffed and therefore the quality of care was affected and neglect was inevitable; we were here for months, so we truly got to see some of the heartbreaking flaws in the system here. We were extremely disheartened and disturbed by some of the demeaning and degrading ways in which some of the residents were treated, especially when their loved ones went home for the night. To the staff employed here, please remember that you are taking care of someone's entire world. End-of-life care is such an intimate and personal experience, and we appreciated the spiritual director of the hospice reaching out both during and after our time at the hospice. Overall, we are truly grateful for all of the staff and especially the volunteers who contributed to such an important time.

I have a sad experience to share about the Agape Hospice. I'll begin by letting you know I have autism, I'm an adult who feels things very deeply and relies on sensitivity to navigate the world.My mother was diagnosed with Lung Cancer and deteriorated rapidly, the process began in Feb 2020 just days before Covid changed us all forever. We have a tiny, single parent family with no other support. My mother relied on me to navigate her medical needs as our system began failing. We picked Agape together, it was a sad moment that will play in my head till my own death. We liked the gardens and I talked with staff who reassured her comfort and our ability to share her last days which were apparent. Upon her intake, Agape informed us how things would really be, leveraging off government changes and our emotions. We were panicked when we learned we would not have a proper goodbye, we felt extremely manipulated. In desperation we asked Agape to help us move our mother to her home where we would say goodbye. This was my mothers wishes and Agape supported the initiative.I worked for 2 days and nights to build an environment we could care for my mom till her passing, this included buying and setting up a medical bed. I was exhausted but the thought of sharing love kept me going. I returned to the Agape to let mom know everything was ready, I could only imagine her smile as I went towards her room. An Agape nurse ran after me as I went to her, it felt wrong. As she caught up with me then saw my mother, I knew immediately she was almost dead. I immediately broke down crying on her body, she whispered and pet my head saying it's okay baby". They nurse scolded me

not enough food for patient even patient keep requesting and never listen to the patient

We had a horrible experience with Agape and do not recommend it. While a hospital counsellor a might tell you that hospice care is about keeping your loved comfortable with your direction, it was our experience that this couldn’t be further from the truth. The Medical Director there and some of his staff (who happen to be his immediate family members— how this is not a massive conflict of interest is not clear to me, but we learned that it works to his advantage) has a serious god complex and we quickly learned that the “care” of our dying mother wasn’t care at all. It was about convenience and arrogance. I would never under any circumstance refer anyone to a hospice under his direction.

My husband went to Agape with terminal colorectal cancer. He had the best care possible at the end of his life. He was loved deeply by the staff, they went above and beyond in the care of my husband. Baths when he wanted them etc. Caring for family as if we were thier own. Thank you so much for your compassion.

My father spent the last days of his life at Agape. The staff were amazing and kept him comfortable. It was a difficult time but they made it a little bit easier.

Lovely establishment treating people with dignity and respect
