I reside in Brandon and was given the Riverview location after searching FirstLight Home Care. I wanted to find outif they offer transportation to and from provider for colonoscopy and the approximate price for the service. Conversed with an FirstLight agent through Chat. Told her my situation. At her request, I provided her with my zip code. She advised me their location doesn't provide services for my zip code, Brandon, FL. However their website shows otherwise. She immediately shut me down without further conversation.

My family has had a wonderful experience with FirstLight. The caregivers (Ameila, Raquel, and Molly) for my mother with dementia are attentive, compassionate, and dedicated to providing great care. Denise, our client care manager, provides my family with excellent guidance and support. I don’t think we could have managed this stage of life without her. I’m also very grateful for the help and support of the scheduler, Amanda, who is patient and kind and keeps everything running smoothly. I’m very thankful that we found FirstLight. I highly recommend them to anyone needing quality home health care.

Kristi is one of the most awesome schedulers. She always strives to make sure that the home health aids receive a great balance between Work and Home. She’s not pushy at all. She lets us know what our options are And is very patient when we are deciding. She’s very encouraging if we are struggling with something, she works with us to come up with a solution and if she cannot come up with a solution, she does finds someone who can help us with whatever issue we you’re having. Overall I am very satisfied and grateful to have been able to work with Kristi

First Light consistently strives to provide home aids who strive towards the highest level of patient care. Their health advocate goes beyond the requirements of this role to champion and promote the needed health and emotional challenges of patients and excels across the board in doing so. I slept better and enjoyed more comfortable days with this team on my family’s side!

FirstLight took great care of my Mom! Very happy with the agency in all aspects: owners run an excellent operation, nurse Denise set up the care and oversaw that the aides were working in accordance with the care plan and the aides engaged nicely with my Mom and were all skilled home health aides. Would highly recommend FirstLight Home Care to anyone needing in-home care for their loved one!
