The team at First Light was a pleasure to work with and very professional and communicative. They work to match your families needs with the perfect caregiver. The caregiver we had was timely, helpful and hardworking. We can’t recommend Boyd and his team enough. If you need a caregiver contact First Light.
Our mother fractured her pelvis and we needed someone to help in the hours when we couldn’t be with her. We called Boyd Lowry at First Light in Glen Rock. We were thrilled that the First Light staff was able to find the most lovely woman to take care of mom. She made her breakfast and lunch, helped her to shower. She cleaned, dusted and did laundry, but most of all she took the time to talk with mom. We’re so grateful for the help. Thank you all so much!

My family and I want to highly recommend the care services of First Light Home Care of Glen Rock. Our care provider was kind and compassionate and was able to form a friendly, warm relationship with Mom that was so comforting to our family. Our mother enjoyed the visits which included playing Mom’s favorite card game, singing Mom’s favorite songs, and making phone calls to stay connected to members of our family. Our family truly appreciates Boyd and Sara Lowry for the excellent and professional services that they provided for our mother. We strongly recommend First Light Home Care of Glen Rock to provide care for the needs of your loved ones.
I highly recommend FirstLight for the care of your loved one. From the moment I called, asking how to navigate the process, until after we moved my mom into a nursing home, FirstLight provided amazing care and communication. They truly helped take away some of the worry and anxiety of helping my parents during this difficult time. Thank you, FirstLight for everything!
First Light Home care provided excellent service for my Mom. All the home health aides were pleasant, caring, and experienced. My mom required memory care, so a specialized touch was needed. Jazmin,did her best to fill all shifts
We ended up with another agency (straight from the hospital) but the whole team at FirstLight were very professional, accommodating and caring. If we need to go with another agency we would definitely go with them! Thanks, Boyd!
Our First Light care giver is simply the best! She understands beyond the medical what my parents need. She assists them with grace and allows them to keep their dignity. The office staff and nurse at First Light is also a pleasure to speak with. They are always available and our family truly has peace of mind.
I began taking Roy Weiss’s Strengthening class in April every Mon. and Wed. I am basically a couch potato but I look so forward to my classes. Roy is fabulous with motivating all of us with his dance moves, great music and guidance! I have severe arthritis in my neck but since I began the classes I have improved
markedly with range of motion and so much less pain. The exercises really work! I am so happy to join in the fun each week. People from town as well as Fair Lawn, Ridgewood and Hawthorne have attende. I began with 1 lb. weights and quickly graduated to 4 lbs. If I can do it, anyone can! Thank you First Light and Daria!
First light home care is providing seniors a chance to exercise. They are offering body strengthening classes on Mondays and Wednesdays by Roy Weiss from 11:15 to 12. The instructor is outstanding encouraging everyone to lift weights according to their capabilities. Tuesday and Thursday classes, concentrate on mindfulness meditation and self improvement through exercises. Overall, the agency is providing an excellent service.
While we did not use their services, Boyd was incredibly helpful and giving of his time in answering our questions. If my dad needs help in the future I will be coming back to First Light. They seem like a caring, reputable company.
First Light’s care givers took wonderful care of my wife. They treated her as if she were their own mother. I can’t say enough about their devotion to her wellbeing.
My experience with FirstLight has been very positive. A friend of mine has an in-home aide who is a very caring and attentive person. She has been nothing but pleasant and willing.
I turned to Boyd Lowry when my mom was suddenly in need of home healthcare. Although she lives just outside of FirstLight’s service area, he took the time to walk me through the various options for Mom and coached me up on what to look for in a home health care service provider. I feel better informed and better equipped to take the next steps and am grateful to him for his time and advice. My only regret is that Mom lives just a little too far away to take advantage of FirstLight’s services.
Byod is wonderful, He is very attentive and listened to all our needs. Service at FirstLight Home Care was first rate. Additionally he is working very hard to increase senior services and activities in Glen Rock. His work in the community is much appreciated.
Go twice a week to Ageless Grace at the Senior Center. Sarah does a wonderful job leading these neurological-physiological exercises. Good company. Well-attended.
Caregivers are wonderful, warm receptive always helpful. Wanda, is more than capable. We also love Millie who has her own special style of care that makes are live much easier. Nellie talks and shares in a pleasent way. You can tell they are all well trained and experienced as well. Thank you Firsltight.
First Light Home Care and their caregivers have been and continue to be a wonderful match for my mom who suffers from dementia. From office support and nursing visits to the kind caregivers, I know I have the right support and care on this difficult journey of elder care.
Everyone there was a pleasure to deal with . They were all so helpful and seemed to have my mother’s best interest at heart . Our aide , Cynthia , was the sweetest woman and was a great help to my mother and a great companion as well. Thankfully mom has regained her strength and can get along by herself again . If we need help again , I would reach out to FirstLight again
FirstLight has provided excellent care for my mom for one and a half years already. When my mom had a hospital stay and she needed additional hours of care, FirsLight acted immediately and was able to provide additional caregivers at short notice. I highly recommend them! 🙂
Mateen who first visited my father to assess his situation was great, as was Sampson who came regularly to help him out. As he has gotten better we no longer need the services of FirstLight but definitely recommend the service!
