Client Reviews
I’d like to give a big shoutout to Vanessa Westmoreland.
Vanessa goes above and beyond for residents receiving home health care. She is highly involved in the senior community — supporting events and initiatives including Honor Flight, Alzheimer’s advocacy, and multiple BLS and professional subcommittees.
You can always see the joy in Vanessa’s smile — it’s clear she truly loves what she does. Her dedication, involvement, and heart make a meaningful difference every day.
I would highly recommend FirstLight. The caregivers we have had for my husband, Silvia and Mariah, have both been wonderful. They genuinely care about getting him better and are always very positive and helpful. Every staff member I have spoken to – Brian W., Vanessa, and Amy, have been very knowledgeable, kind, and diligent to give our family the utmost care. Thank you for the peace of mind.
I work for Suncoast Hospice and I have known Vanessa Westmoreland at First Light for the past 2 years. Everything she does for my patients is with kindness, joy and compassion. We have cared for many patients together – and I rarely meet someone who has her work ethic and true commitment to helping others. She is a joy to work with and I highly recommend Vanessa Westmoreland

They are very dedicated to making sure the caregivers are taken care of and can handle the work loads, also they put alot of pride into getting to know each client and family members, very pleased to say I work for first light as there caregiver. As a company I dont think it gets any better thank you all so much for having the time and dedication for us all as employees and clients.
I’ve been with the company only a short while and they make you feel like family from the start. Interview and hiring process were easy. They have matched me with some great clients. If I call in with questions or concerns they are addressed. I am pleased with choice of employer and I truly enjoy showing up for my clients everyday!
This agency is so professional, well managed, with caring, competent caregivers. I have nothing but positive things to say about First Light and the services that have been provided to my elderly mother. I highly recommend this home health agency for anybody looking for assistance for their loved one!

Went in for orientation on January 21 and the staff and everyone was very respectful and nice I enjoy the orientation wasn’t to long but still learned alot I needed to know.
As a professional of the Senior Living industry, I recommend FirstLight Home Care to all of my clients and would trust them with my own family. Absolute Quality and reliability. Vanessa and Meredith are my go to amazing people who never disappoint.
I am amazed how professional and patient the whole staff was for all of us through the training and respect they showed. I would highly recommend FirstLight for the best place for the right training and encouragement they offer. Very organized and kind.
i really enjoy working with this company started with this company a few months ago and it has been great ever since. there very understandable when it comes to the staff.
FirstLight Home Care does a great job taking care of my loved one. Their caregivers are kind, reliable, and really seem to care. The team is also very responsive—whenever there’s a question or a change needed, they get back quickly and handle things smoothly. It’s easy to trust them to take good care of my family.
From my interview to onboarding process to orientation I gave five stars because the staff in the office is genuinely warm, thorough, and supportive. Thank you for making the beginning process to my first 30 days now a breeze. Hard to believe it’s been 30 days already. Thank you very much to the staff.
Hannah has done so much for me. I would give her an A plus!! She has a delightful personality
She does everything to perfection .
Where ever Hannah works, she will be an asset.
I can’t praise Hannah enough!!
This company is awesome. They offer caregivers so much opportunity, and willing to work with any schedule you have!! Key to having a successful career and employment experience is communication and I can say that they are excellent at that. The whole team Linda, Jennifer, Depri have all been so helpful at me starting here at First Light!!!
My experience has been wonderful and very fulfilling with the knowledge of being a home health aid My first day orientation was very well thought out and very hands-on experience and they also give you a lot of videos if you’re not confident in doing certain things in a home health aid field , I love being in the healthcare field. I’m loving being with first light home care and very appreciative and first light home care is doing an amazing job keep up the good work .
FirstLight Home Care has treated me exceptionally well with this being my one year anniversary with the company. FirstLight truly cares about their employees and clients. I would recommend Firstlight to anyone who needs a loved one cared for, or if you are just looking to become a home health nurse this is the place to be. Everyone in the office is amazing. I’m so happy to be a part of the FirstLight Home Care.
FirstLight Home Care is an amazing, company that truly cares—not just about their clients, but also about their staff and the community. The team I work with is incredible, and the owners go above and beyond to create a supportive and compassionate environment. It’s an honor to be part of a company that values both exceptional care and the people who provide it!
I’d have to say the past 6 almost 7 years Linda has been through it all with me. But it’s not like I’m over you type of relationship with Linda. I got alot going on right now and Linda made sure to reassure that everything will be fine. I definitely have a huge family with first light. It’s not just Linda but Amie too. They always know how to change my sour face to one of comfort. The way Linda helped me this past week alone has meant everything and it was big enough the world wouldn’t have known how to handle my break down like she did. If you ever need advice or just someone to listen to you wanting to give up in hopes they see you way differently then you see yourself. They will definitely be here for you. I can’t believe I have to leave for 6 weeks. But at least I know if I’m stuck in a hole for my mind I know they’re a email and a phone call away. I couldn’t be prouder to call myself a first light employee and it really does come down to the office staff. I’m not crying…. you are

I should have signed this before haha woops. It’s been a pleasure working for this company. Hoping many more after this
Tiffany is the very best caregiver I have ever had. She goes beyond what she has to do and makes me feel comfortable while helping me. She is AWESOME and I am so blessed to have her.
First Light is the best agency to care for your love ones. Many thanks to Charlotta and Shelley for treating my 92 year old Dad as their own. Amie, the scheduler, is very communicative and does a great job in getting the right people in the right places.
Thank you, First Light staff, for peace of mind.
We’ve gone through four home health agencies since my husband had a stroke, and FirstLight has been the best by far. From the nurse who visits monthly to Natalie, who is always available when I need something, and Amie, who coordinated all our caregiver appointments—everyone has been exceptional. Amie’s patience stood out, especially during our rough start due to my husband’s fast-paced schedule, but she always worked with me to make sure our needs were met. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend FirstLight to friends or family. You won’t be disappointed!

Dear First Light: Many thanks for sending Tiffany Manson to me as a Home Health Aide. She is absolutely amazing! I don’t even have to tell her what to do. When she gets to my apartment she immediately starts to clean the floors and wash the dishes and do whatever needs to be done. She’s very efficient and works quickly and steadily. She never sits down even once in 4 hours! She is truly a fantastic help and support to me. She deserves 10 stars! Thanks again.
Carla S has been an awesome caregiver to to my dad Bob for quite a few years now. We would be lost without her. Great company to work with. Highly recommend.
Michele Pippins is extremely reliable, compassionate and capable. She is highly effective and efficient taking great care to ensure that I am properly bathed, teeth done, exercised and comfortable and cared for she is amazing we are grateful for her care
Jessica is very friendly and the fact that she is strong makes me feel safe when she helps me move. She is a great conversationalist and efficient I never need to say what I need or want she already knows and is proactive in my care.
Terrell Belleville: Jessica Q is a very good at what she do my husband look forward to seeing her when she comes. She just brighten up his day. and she always have a smile on her face when she walked through the door.
In search of a respite companion for my mom, I’ve reviewed many home care services and finally found FirstLight. One of the reasons why I am satisfied with them; they conduct an initial interview to understand the type of service you’re looking for and then pair you with someone who compliments your needs.
I have always received top notch service from this company. I never have had any type of problem – whether it be communication or placement with them. The person they placed to help me is perfect! She fits in perfectly with me, the patient and even with my dog. The patient is known for his pickiness and there is none of it. I highly recommend them.
My experiences are satisfying i always have home care prrson on time. Everyone is helpful and nice. I mostly take someone to drive me to doctors.Schedule person in the office is very good . He or she try to find me the visit even as I ask fur home care 2 days before my doctor appointment
and notified me. Thanks very much to all iof you.
I am using my sons phone because mine is acting up , I just wanted to complement Tiffany. She is a wonderful home healthcare worker she is the hardest worker I’ve had since I’ve had you guys.
I have worked with this company for almost 5 years now and I can honestly say, without a doubt, this is the best work experience I have ever had. From day one I felt as if I had joined a family and that remains true to this day. I am so proud to work for a company that believes kindness, compassion and being fair are the keys to successful relationships with both clients and staff. From our marketing director out in the field and our intake specialist in office, to the scheduling team, HR department and nursing staff, First Light Home Care of Pinellas provides excellent service and sincere care to all. They will always go above and beyond to do what is right. I highly recommend FLHC for anyone seeking personalized care for a loved one or for anybody seeking employment with a company who truly cares.
Our family’s situation was very unique with the care and hours needed for 2 family members. The FirstLight staff went above and beyond to accommodate us during a difficult time. We were thankful to have worked with Brian, Natalie, Sahar, and Tyniel. The personal attention and detailed care they offered was the BEST!
I have no complaints. Great place to work and to receive care! So grateful to be part of the team and be able to help so many people each day!
Strangely enough, I am writing a review for a company that we are not actually using. We have been having some extra in-home healthcare through a service for my father, who lives in an ALF and the cost is not sustainable. So, I have been calling around trying to see if there was a more affordable option. Although First Light is comparable to the service we’ve been using cost-wise, and therefore not an option for us, I simply have to take a moment to say that my brief interaction with their intake coordinator, Brian Wirth, made me wish we could use them. He reached out immediately with very helpful information, and even after I explained that they were out of our price range, he responded thoughtfully, and provided a few helpful suggestions. He had no reason to do that, we weren’t going to be a customer. I think that can be an indicator of the kind of business and people who work for First Light . Just wanted to share my experience.
Firstlight Homecare is a great company with compassionate and professional staff. They care about both their clients, and their healthcare providers. They are attentive to everyone’s needs and are highly proficient in problem resolution. They are a highly rewarding company to work for.
