“FirstLight has been a lifesaver!” – Stories From Encinitas Families Who Trust Our Care
- First Light has provided exceptional professionalism, compassionate care, and thoughtful companionship for our mother during a difficult decline. The caregivers … More are punctual, skilled, and attentive, giving us in-depth peace of mind. They treat her with dignity, kindness, and warmth, and their support extended to meaningful engagement beyond medical care.

To the entire First Light team: thank you for your empathy, expertise, and unwavering commitment. Their work has made a profound difference in our mother’s quality of life. - Matt and his team were an absolute Godsend! From the moment we met Matt we were impressed. He assessed the situation, shared comprehensive feedback, and … More provided potential solutions for a family member’s short and long-term care. While we worked through the details of off-site long-term care, Matt and his team took excellent care of our ailing family member on a short-term basis. Not only did we feel confident with Matt and his team, however, our family member was always delighted to see her caregiver for the day. They cleaned and created an organised, safe space for her. They also served lunch, did the laundry, and even coloured with her.
Finding a trustworthy team to care for a loved one can be a daunting task, however, Matt brought calm to our family.
FirstLight Home Care should be your first and last stop…you will not regret it.
Thank you for exemplary service Matt and team! - For 50 years I’ve operated senior housing communities. Over those decades I’ve been able to observe good Home Care companies and not such good ones. … More I just experienced a Great one. My husband just had back surgery and First Light of Carlsbad Home Care was recommended to me by a trusted friend. They didn’t disappoint. Every caregiver that Matt August, owner, sent to us was stellar which allowed me to breathe easier that he was being well cared for. One caregiver, Melissa, truly went above and beyond our expectations. I have neck surgery coming up in November and I look forward to having this same team of professionals care for me after .
