Our History
A senior care worker, inspired by an artist painting umbrellas in Central Park to honor 9/11 victims, was deeply moved during her visit to New York months after the attack. In 2010, she collaborated with Winthrop University interns to create Life Blooms Eternally, using the umbrella concept to raise awareness about hospice benefits available for families facing end-of-life decisions.
The first Life Blooms Eternally event in November of 2010 featured 500 floral umbrellas and a memorial service honoring each patient with a name reading and bell toll.

The care my father received at your facility was phenomenal. The love and compassion they showed all of our family was so very comforting. We struggled with taking him home but we realized he was exactly where he needed to be. We will always be indebted to you all for making the transition for him to be with Jesus the best we could have hoped for.
Jacqueline
My dearest love. The one who called me out of my shell and called me Pookie.
You are so cute, those big sparkling eyes and your beautiful smile. How you loved to talk with me and our friends. How we loved to travel, Australia, Hawaii, Italy and Alaska. Also, all the trips we made in the RV. You were a baker of cakes, cookies and pies from scratch.
Most importantly, we loved our children Christine and Shawn. They are grown up now with wonderful families.
I love you and miss you. Bob
Aldwyn
My Daddy wanted nothing more than to be at home with his wife and his family and because of the wonderful care he received he was able to do that. He was able to enjoy listening to his music, eating his favorite foods and spending time with his family. We will forever be grateful. He was never in any pain and went home peacefully to be with the Lord. We miss him very much but we are left with beautiful memories. He is forever in our hearts until we are together again.

Inez
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7
We cannot express our gratitude enough for the care Inez received. The level of care was exceptional. Everyone we came in contact with was willing to go over and above to meet Inez’s needs. You can tell this is more than just a job, these caregivers and support staff have a heart for people! Inez loved everyone who cared for her.
Kelly
Kelly and I were married for 34 years. She fought Triple Negative breast cancer for 5 years. God answered her prayers and gave her extra time. I will be forever grateful for the hospice team especially Courtney Johnson, Kaye Gurley, Mercedes and Dr. Doug Alford for their love and care for Kelly. It still doesn’t seem real not having her here, but daily I remain grateful to the Lord for all His blessings and answered prayers!
Lynne
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!
