First Light Home Care has been a life saver for our family in the care of my mother who has Lewy Body Dementia. All of the aides who have been assigned have been a tremendous help but I want to especially recognize Bri whom my mom has come to truly love. She has the ability to get my mom engaged and laughing which isn’t always easy due to her severe chronic pain. They really love each other’s company and have a great deal of fun together.

We used FirstLight services to care for my mom for almost 3 years in her home. We were very lucky to find such loving and compassionate caregivers. They were knowledgeable about Mom's issues and truly cared about her well being as well as helping the family learn how to adapt to her changes. They helped make a difficult situation more bearable. I would highly recommend FirstLight for home care services.

First Light Home Care is a business full of wonderfully caring people! We have been blessed with Chance as a caregiver for my husband who suffers from dementia. There are not enough kind words to say about him and how he cares for my husband. He is kind, compassionate and has the ability to put my husband at ease as he tends to his needs. I believe that this is a true "calling" for Chance, not just a job. He goes over and above what you might expect at every visit. Not only does he care for my husband but he always has a kind uplifting word for me when stress tries to overwhelm me. Thank you, Chance, and First Light Home Care for being such a blessing to our family.

I don't get these negative reviews, but notice most are from former disgruntled employees. Maybe not meeting the high standards of the company? First Light, Deb and Leatha, have been excellent, completely professional in all respects, reliable and found trustworthy help to match Mom's needs. My mom loves her caregiver, Amy. She has become family to us over the last year and a half. Amy texts me with frequently with updates or concerns, and often surprises Mom with small joys like artwork from her kids or home baked cookies. She is dependable, kind, competent, and has made Mom happy and content even though she is homebound. We adore her and I feel so lucky we found First Light and Amy!!! They were recommend by my neighbor who also used their services for years (and felt the same way about their caregiver).
