I have been working with an 80 year old woman for years and I recently noticed that she was…read morebecoming lonely, sad and more depressed as time has gone on. I realized it was because she wasn't able to enjoy activities that brought her joy because she was no longer able to drive and she got physically tired easily. I thought if she had someone to garden with her, take her shopping or go for a walk that it might lift her spirits. I recommended she call Firstlight Homecare, talk with Wendy about her needs and desires and they would send her a companion that would be a perfect match. That's exactly what they did. Although she was a bit skeptical at first, they are now best buddies and she looks forward to her visits. Now when I see her, she feels so much better because she feels connected to life and is doing the things she loves. I also have another client who I just moved to an assisted-living community. I'm sure you know how difficult a transitions this is for most people. She is so unhappy and her daughter didn't know what to do. I believed that Firstlight would find my client the "best right person" for her Mom, which they did. Now they go out for lunch, a walk and shopping. She's like a whole new person. Every time one of my client's or friend's parent's need companionship, I always recommend Firstlight Homecare. I know they truly care and go the extra mile.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this home care agency. From the very first interactions,…read morethe Firstlight team demonstrated compassion, professionalism, and dedication to providing the highest level of care. Every caregiver who supported my mother (who can be difficult at times) treated her with dignity, patience, and kindness, creating an atmosphere of trust and comfort that immediately put our entire family at ease. The staff went above and beyond to ensure all needs were met. Communication with Firstlight was always clear, reliable, and reassuring. I have to give a special shout out to Elise, who I primarily communicated with from Firstlight. She was always responsive, flexible, and proactive, which made an incredibly stressful time feel manageable. Her weekly updates helped my family work with the team to be proactive for next visits. That was greatly appreciated. Firstlight takes the time to understand individual preferences, routines, and personalities. Their attention to detail and compassion gave us peace of mind knowing our mom was in the best possible hands. If you are looking for a home care agency that delivers service with integrity and professionalism, I wholeheartedly recommend them.

My father was in need of "at home" care in the final two years of his life. My family was…read morerecommended to Right at Home by another agency we contacted that was outside of my father's geographic area. My dad was given care for two years through Right at Home with increasing care up to 24/7 as time went on. Most of the care givers were extremely responsive and took care of my dad's needs including everything from housekeeping and laundry to medicine dispensing. They really assisted me in making sure that my dad could stay in his home up to his passing a few months ago. A couple of the caregivers became like friends to him and treated him as family. Additionally, the office folks were very personable and tried to work with me in making sure all needs were addressed - including paying for the care. These services are not cheap - but it is what was requested by my father so that he would have institutionalized/nursing home care. All in all - I found these folks to be very good and would definitely recommend them for helping deliver care to a loved one in need. John Paul, Matt, and Sarah were excellent to deal with in working through logistics as issues of care arose. I cannot speak to the negative reviews, but the folks that were with my father were attentive and helpful right to the end. That is my family's experience.

I hired RAH for 2 days of health aide help following surgery. One young woman knew how to bring…read morefood, a napkin, clean up without asking. Unfortunately, 16 hours was spent with a woman who was only able to help me shower.She did warm up soup once but left the stovetop encrusted with the soup. She thought a spoon was a wide spatula, despite my instructions that there were many spoons in front of her. Otherwise she did nothing. Communication was a huge issue. Of note: an antique chair was damaged during RAH's stay. Worse, the office manager-VP-wanted me to remove a negative google review in exchange for a discount on services. Really? Worse, I got the expected bill, but money was withdrawn before I had a chance to look at/ok the bill. Go elsewhere.

When my elderly father fractured his pelvis I flew in to manage his care. We quickly realized that…read morethe rehab facility was crushing his spirits. When I mentioned home care to the facility staff, even they said patients tend to recover more quickly at home. What we didn't appreciate was just how difficult it can be to care for an elderly person who can't walk. They provided us with a list of home health care providers that I cross checked with yelp. Crazy how few reviews there are for these types of businesses. After doing some research and contacting three different providers, I chose Home Instead. From the moment we contacted them our life started getting easier. Cassandra quickly set up an appointment for the owner, David, to come to the apartment and meet my father. He asked the right questions, listened, and provided us with a range of options to choose from. Zero pressure. The primary health aid, Leroy, quickly became like part of the family. David remained actively involved in managing my father's care--even while on vacation! And as my father gradually began to recover, they were very flexible in dialing down the service. The only advice I have is to set clear expectations up front about what kinds of help you would like the health aid to provide. The brochure promises the moon, more than any single health aid could reasonably be expected to provide. But be upfront about what help you need. That way it doesn't get awkward part-way through treatment if expectations aren't being met. This is particularly important if there will be more than one provider managing care. Overall we were very pleased with Home Instead and will definitely be contacting them again should we require additional care.

Each of them took excellent care of her, encouraging her as she slowly regained her health and mobility - and allowing me to get the rest I so desperately needed. I learned from them the best ways to continue her care on my own, and enjoyed their company immensely. They treated both of us with courtesy, respect and compassion. I can't thank the management, schedulers and caregivers enough for taking such good care of both of us. With them, it really IS personal!
