Exceptional and Affordable In-Home Care with Flexible Hours in the Boston Area

First Light is a godsend! When my Mom’s Alzheimer’s took a turn for the worse, I knew we needed to have someone look after her during the day when we were at work. But we were not sure how Mom would take to being with a stranger and how long we would need help for. Girish and Saundra were very flexible in working with us – trying out different hours in mornings and evenings until we nailed down the schedule.

I am so thankful for FirstLight Home Care of Boston Northwest. I had a recent scheduled outpatient procedure and at the last minute, my arranged helper canceled on me. I was stranded at a Boston Hospital, unable to be released without a ride home and someone to keep an eye on me. The resource RN from the hospital reached out to FirstLight for me and they had someone here within an hour so I could be released and go home to recuperate!

I am most grateful that FirstLight Home Care exists – because they facilitated my cataract surgery and subsequent visits for post op appointments. Their drivers in both instances were competent, friendly and caring – everyone was on time, they knew their way, and once having delivered me to the hospital they were willing to wait while I was being taken care of, which made the return pick up more efficient. I also note that the fees the company charges for these services are very reasonable.

To be clear: we were never able to actually hire aides from FirstLight in Medford, because our family member passed away suddenly before we could do so, so this is not a review of the company’s care, per se. However, I want to say that when we were looking for an alternative care agency and I met with owner, Girish Lahoty, he was respectful, sensitive and responsive. An agency should support families who are doing the difficult work of caring for their loved ones at home.

Following knee replacement surgery I unexpectedly found myself confined to my home for five months, requiring in-home nursing, physical and occupational therapy and home health aide services. Fortunately, our health insurance connected us with this fine firm who sent Skylar to help me with personal hygiene, bathing, dressing, laundry, linens, meal preparation, trips to the pharmacy and rides to the doctors. Skylar was a god-send: cheerful, punctual and totally dependable.

I highly recommend FirstLight Home Care. I hired them to provide care to my cousin who urgently needed daily help. Girish the owner of FirstLight has been so helpful in providing someone for my cousin on short notice and accommodating her schedule. The caregivers who have helped my cousin have been kind, competent, trustworthy and reliable. My cousin has been well taken care of and she has enjoyed the caregivers’ company.

FirstLight Home Care had someone in my sister’s home within three hours of our request in September of this year. From that moment forward they managed to provide compassionate care to my sister who was in hospice care in her home. Girish Lahoty and Saundra Lyons were always responsive in a timely way whenever we needed to discuss schedules or special needs of my sister.

Our entire family is so grateful for the amazing care FirstLight provided to our Dad. Everyone at First Light was amazing, so hard-working and they really cared about his well-being. Every member of the team did their part and we can’t thank them enough. Would definitely recommend them!

If you need help caring for a family member, I highly recommend First Light. I had been taking care of my husband on my own for five years and decided I needed some extra help. After talking to various companies, I settled on First Light. They work with you to find the perfect fit of caregiver to patient. Through my husbands dementia, First Light provided me with excellent service. The caregivers assigned to my husband were compassionate, competent, and kind.

My family and I met Girish just before my dad was released from rehab. Since we had never needed this type of service before, we were not sure what to expect. First Light has not disappointed. They assigned a small group of caregivers, and the ones they sent to care for dad have been awesome. They were adept at helping walk and transfer my dad, as he is getting stronger. But just as importantly, they have all been so kind and encouraging to my dad (and mom). They have made this difficult transition so much easier than we expected

We have been using First Light Home Care of Boston for the past two years. We have had nothing but a positive experience and feel fortunate that we use them. My husband David has Parkinson’s with dementia. His caregivers are kind, patient and professional. They take David out for walks, out for breakfast or lunch and do errands that he wants to do such as picking up his prescriptions or dry cleaning or grocery shopping. They treat him with care and respect. I am very grateful to have them in our lives

Our family is very pleased with the care my father in-law has received from the staff at FirstLight so far. The whole process has been smooth and seamless. From the very first contact with Girish, the president and owner to the home care director, Saundra, to the staff coming to the home, it has been worry-free. Girish was very helpful and was able to answer all our questions and concerns. Saundra is always available when we need her, lets us know if there will be any changes in the schedule or staffing.

Caring, reliable, concerned, experienced — we could not be happier with the service FirstLight has provided our family. They listen and treat each case individually so they can match the right caregiver to the specific need.

I think FirstLight is a great company and they really care about their families, clients and caregivers. I appreciate everything they do.
