I cannot say enough good things about FirstLight Home Care of Southern Hillsborough. Denise was absolutely amazing in providing thoughtful and compassionate care for our family member with dementia. She took the time to offer valuable advice and practical suggestions to improve our loved one’s quality of life. Denise checked in regularly, ensuring that we were happy with the caregivers who visited the house. Her support and guidance were invaluable during a challenging time. We highly recommend FirstLight to anyone in need of in-home care for a loved one – their dedication and care truly make a difference.

I’ve been working with First Light Home Care for almost 4 years. A big shout out to our scheduling team Amanda and Kristi. Not to mention our great team in HR. Renee always goes above and beyond to assist in whatever needs we have. HR also takes care of their staffs when there’s a problem between clients and staff. Great place to work. Love them all.

I’ve had a number of great experiences referring this company AND being a client myself after a surgery. Thank you to the owner for always stepping up to help in the community and with the loved ones of my friends and clients. I can’t fathom what the deal is with the (apparently) disgrunted employee who left one of the other reviews, but it’s unfortunate and NOT my experience over the course of YEARS of dealing with the company.
