Agape Respite Care, Inc. is a Christian-based service committed to assisting families who have infants, children youth and adults with disabilities or chronic health conditions. The Christian faith and love for all God’s people impels Agape to care for those who want and need special care on a temporary basis throughout their life span.

The respite and support services are offered to primary care givers to assist them in a renewing of their body, mind, soul and spirit.
