What Sets FirstLight Home Care In Alameda Apart
“When my grandfather needed care, watching my family struggle to find someone trustworthy—and enduring the stress and lasting ramifications from that difficult time—I knew something had to change. I left my corporate job because I realized I wanted to make a real impact, not just a paycheck.
In the past two years, being able to help families in my own community stay together, find peace of mind, and keep their loved ones safely at home has been the most fulfilling work of my life. There’s something special about caring for the neighbors who watched you grow up, the community that shaped you.
We’re here to make sure no family has to face these challenges alone.”
— Nicole Freeman, Owner & Founder, FirstLight Home Care Alameda
