They do well at everything they do for me. The one that I have right now is really good. She makes sure I don't fall down. She know's how to take care of me. I've had her since July of last year. She comes in 3 days a week. Peter, the owner is always right on the ball. He calls to find out and check on things.

We did a search in the area for available resources. First Light is priced competitively and they were a good reference from another family member who is using them as well.
The caregivers did well for the most part. There was a trouble with one woman but she was quickly replaced. They are very responsive to our needs.

Our experience with FirstLight Home Care has been very good. They're very helpful to my son. The caregivers are very cheerful. They really boost my son to give him a positive outlook. We have them for over a year. My son is very happy and comfortable with them around.

I can't say enough about First Light and the people that they provided. Their care was phenomenal. It was wonderful. They gave very caring and very knowledgeable assistants at the time when we thoroughly needed it. We had them for a little over a year.
The caregiver really cared. She did absolutely everything I asked her and more. My mom was in the end stage of Alzheimers. She did pretty much everything for her.
The management was always receptive and always there. There was always somebody to talk to us whenever we have questions. They could work the schedule around for me. They documented everything for me because we had to make sure that every single penny is documented. It was just an overall success.

FirstLight Home Care is excellent. They did everything they said they would do. My wife seem to be pleased and I am very pleased with them. Every time they said they would do they were on time, they were here, and I'm very pleased with them. They're excellent people. I'd recommend them any moment.
