FirstLight Home Care of Southern Hillsborough County provides in-home care services in Riverview, Florida and surrounding areas including Valrico, Brandon, and Sun City Center. Founded by Rich Kase, Michelle Kase (RN), and Janice Bayruns, the agency offers personalized private home care designed to help seniors maintain independence and dignity while aging in place.
The agency provides a range of home care services including companion assistance, personal care for everyday tasks, recovery support after surgery, disability care, and specialized dementia care. FirstLight emphasizes an individualized approach, conducting in-home evaluations to understand each client's unique needs, preferences, and personality rather than applying standardized care plans.
FirstLight's caregivers are trained to address not only physical needs but also emotional and social ones, supporting activities such as conversations and outings. The company maintains regular communication with families through client care managers and schedulers to ensure clients receive consistent, quality care and that families feel informed and confident in the services provided.
The agency serves families throughout Southern Hillsborough County and operates scheduling and nursing oversight teams to coordinate care, manage complex schedules, and monitor the quality of services delivered to clients in their homes.
