Staying home shouldn’t mean going it alone
Deciding between staying home and moving into a facility is one of the hardest choices a family ever faces. You want your loved one safe — but you also know home is where they’re happiest, surrounded by the memories of a life well lived.
That’s exactly why AGAPE exists. Since 1995 we’ve helped Kern County families keep their loved ones right where they belong — with dignity, and the day-to-day help that makes independent living possible.
- Care tailored to your family — from a couple of hours to full 24-hour care, with no long-term contract.
- Caregivers you can trust — background-checked, compassionate, and matched to your needs.
- Free in-home assessment in the areas we serve — no pressure, no obligation.
