Where do I start? I have been a patient with this company for about 2 years now. I've had two sweet…read morepractitioners that come out to the home and they both take turns coming twice a month. They have done everything I've asked of them When it comes to getting x-rays and for me to find out about certain things that has put me . However, I still have a lot medically that has not been resolved. I have house calls, telehealth specialist and I'm gonna say it like this they're not worth shooting. They only want to do what they see fit either their way or the highway! For example, I have a lot of shortness of breath, and they wanted to give me oxygen which they did. However, it has not fixed the issue. Secondly, to top it off, they gave me oxygen without having a legal diagnosis as to why I needed it. The oxygen company that brought it out has been calling the past several months because appropriate documentation has not been done right. As a result, I'm gonna have to give it back to the company. I'm gonna tell you guys if you're ever in need of oxygen or anything like that please don't depend on this company. Go to a regular pulmonologist and get it done the right and legal way. Another thing I want this company does have a high turnover when dealing with people over the phone I think it's ridiculous. Lastly, I want to add this company loves loves loves doing facilitated visits. I absolutely hate it! Right now, I'm having to until God me to something better. In conclusion, this company does make up stuff about you as they go, just so they can make the big ! I don't know how they get away with all the stuff that they get away with, but they need to be investigated.

I have been a patient almost two years. Yesterday was the final straw and I am done! I was signed…read moreup in October '24 and ignored for about 9 months. No calls - no visits - just silence. When they decided to begin seeing me, the revolving door started rotating. Always someone new, no notice the previous person was gone, no notice someone new was coming. I very seldom knew who was coming or when. Recently I was bitten by a feral cat and was having some issues with just feeling bad. I was supposed to be seen every Friday until the issues were resolved. I received a text at 7:26 on Thursday night that my "person" would not be coming the next day and they would assign someone else. No one ever called or showed up. Then yesterday, a Thursday, someone rang my bell, just as I was about to leave for another appointment. It was the NP - no appointment - no call - no text - just, I'm here!! Aren't you a lucky patient because I showed up!! She was very angered because of my frustration at not knowing an appointment had been scheduled. I told her all I EVER asked was to be given appointments in advance and for them to be kept. I told her I was done with SC House Calls/Your Health and I would be finding a traditional physician. The employees are not to blame for the poor function of this company. Instead of getting better, it only gets worse. AVOID them if you possibly can.

I wasn't sure about any of the many companies that are available, but my dad took I'll all of a…read moresudden and a lady from AGAPE was in the hospital when they started telling us that he had heart & kidneys failure. There wasn't anything else they could do for him ,but they said the HOSPICE could get things faster than what he could. After talking with this lady for quite awhile I felt like hearing from her how she would have their people take care of her family members should that time ever arrive. I'm so happy that I chose them because they were there all the way to the end. It was April 2nd an I began to notice some changes in the way he was having problems drinking water through a straw. Along with other things that was unusual for him so I called an a nurse called me almost as I put my phone down. She said she was on her way an it would take her about an hour to reach us, but she only took fourth minutes. She took his vitals an said things were a little off and she said she was concerned so she would stick around. My family was impressed by the amount of her continually checking him. She sat down next to mom an was talking with her, but I noticed she was constantly looking at pop when she got a look on her face that was a look of concern. She stood up walked over to me an said she was concerned because she said she hadn't seen him take a breath in about five minutes. She said that she was going to check him again because she didn't want to upset mom. Upon checking his vitals she turned and whispered that he was gone. She went to mom an broke the news to her. My wife and daughter inlaw helped her lay down. The nurse took care of calling everyone that needed to be contacted. Overall I'd give the entire folks that came to care for him a GOLD AWARD. Since then my mom has started having heart ,kidney ,bowels, diabetic, plus some more issues. I didn't hesitate calling them. They got a copy of mom's medical history and said she qualified for the assistance with Hospice. They had said a nurse would be by twice a week unless she needed more. They said that someone would be coming three times a week and they have had someone here Monday thru Friday to help her bathe, change her clothes if needed plus other things if she needed it done. So far the care they've shown my mom is a huge five star. I highly recommend AGAPE to anyone that has a family member that is needing assistance. These folks are at the top of the list when it comes to having home care. I WANT TO SEND A SPECIAL THANKS TO THE ENTIRE HOSPICE COMPANY AGAPE..........

We asked for FMLA paperwork and they said "No problem" after waiting almost 6 weeks we finally had to get it elsewhere. They made "appointments" for visits from their providers who sometimes never showed up or called to tell us they weren't coming. They sent automated messages saying they were coming but then again sometimes never showed up or bothered to notify us. They listened to complaints of increased pain but never made any medication adjustments to keep our loved one comfortable. Instead they kept trying to get him into their inpatient hospice center. Don't use this company if you want a responsive, caring, dependable and competent staff.
