For over 10 years, Agape Care has offered flexible in-home care services in Lancaster County centered around personal care for seniors, those with disabilities, and those recovering from injury or illness. We are committed to serving with love and doing what it takes to help our clients maintain their dignity and independence.
We are a Pennsylvania state licensed, non-medical agency providing in-home care services for Seniors, Veterans, and the disabled, as well as individuals with Dementia, Alzheimer’s, Intellectual Disabilities, and long term illnesses. We also assist those recovering from operations with the services they need to remain or recover in their own homes. These services often help ease family tensions and fears while providing much needed “respite care” for those who daily serve as caregivers for a family member or loved one. Agape Care believes offering varying levels of service provides our clients the continuum of care they need to remain in their homes as their needs increase and change.

Working with her mother, Nancy Morrow, director for 25 years, the senior center became the hub from which programs and services help seniors maintain their dignity and independence.
