"I'm new at this & very pressured to find the right type of care that my Dad needs. So An employee from Senior helpers contacted me through a phone call or email. Sorry I can't recall. The thing is that I've been calling around, getting different places calling me & I've called places for more info but this guy D....was so sensitive for me not respectfully calling him back to confirm an appt visit. When I made the appt I had a date & time set up while the very next day they needed to reschedule to a different day. It was 2 wks in advance. So I went to the appt at my Dad's & nobody showed up. I called & left a msg asking when they we're going to make it today to the appt. They told me that the appt was at a later date & texted me later to confirm that latter date. So I said "No thank you & no need to reschedule". Here comes the date of that latter date. This time the lady that showed up was not getting an answer at my dad's house & I'm glad he didn't answer or even hear the doorbell because he was out back in the backyard. So she called me & said nobody is answering the door & I said because I never confirmed that date for the appt. I actually said just like I mentioned earlier that "I didn't want to reschedule". So that lady that went to my dad's was told that I confirmed but clearly missed the "no need to reschedule" message. D.... then called me soon after this missed appt & left me a rude voicemail & the exact same rude message to my email. He was scolding me that I confirmed that appt, it was very disrespectful to nit call him back, that I was the reason for the lady using up her gas driving all the way over there (BY THE WAY, IT WAS IN THE SAME CITY'S it wasn't that out of her way either. More like 10 mins drive)& her valuable time & travel to go all the way out there wasting her time. He sounded like he took the misunderstanding so personal. I was blown away to get his rude email & voicemail of him going off on me. He was really upset. So obviously I never called him back because he was already pissed off at me & telling me off. I don't need to explain myself after his rude attitude. Who would want to call back someone after that kind of treatment to a potential new client?! Not me! So be careful, walk on eggshells & be polite & respectful because if u get this guy D....& you're already looking at a few other places with the phone calls & emails with info. I was busy. There could have been some type of accident with me or my dad & he didn even ask me what happened remember I said "No need to reschedule...". I just couldn't believe his immature & ignorant messages he left me. He needs to work on his customer service or GET FIRED. I'm already stressing about finding a place for my dad etc. Don't call this place Senior helpers. He just made the whole company look bad & I'll never contact them again about anything. That was a mouthful but I'm only writing this review so nobody else gets caught up in a reasonable misunderstanding like I had & was blamed for it. Thanks, C......"

"Right at Home has been caregiving for my husband Paul for over 3 years. He has 4 wonderful ladies Karina, Brenda, Alma, and Ann. They greet him every morning with a happy smile when he wakes up. They assist him in showering and getting him ready for the day. They are so kind and friendly to him. They laugh together and make him feel special. These 4 ladies are so efficient and show empathy for my husband. They enjoy doing their work. Paul loves talking to them about his travels, listening to music, watching movies, and reading everyone's horoscopes from the newspaper. Olympia, the current supervisor, was also once Paul's caregiver. Olympia is fantastic. She stops by to check on how he is doing and is very professional. We thank you for giving Paul the best caregiving team he has ever had. They do an outstanding job caring for and helping Paul. When they finish their shift, Paul is in a happy and pleasant mood for the rest of the day. Thank you for your wonderful service. Sandra L Sutton"

If you're reading this, chances are someone you love is going through a transition — and so are you. Maybe it's slow and quiet, a parent gradually needing more help than they used to. Maybe it's sudden, a fall or a hospital stay that changed everything overnight. Either way, you've landed here because you're trying to do right by someone, often without ever having done this before. That's exactly who we built FirstLight Home Care to serve. We know that for most families, hiring home care isn't a routine decision — it's an emotional one, tangled up with worry, love, and the weight of getting it right. You may not know what questions to ask. You may not even know what "good care" should look like. That's okay. You don't have to walk in as an expert. We'll meet you wherever you're starting from. Our role isn't to take over — it's to support your family through this chapter, with care that feels personal because it is personal. We see the whole picture: not just the person needing care, but the family around them trying to hold things together. If this is your first time facing something like this, we want you to know — you're not alone in it, and you don't have to figure it out by yourself. Reach out, and let's talk about what your family actually needs right now.
