Providing Respite Care Services to Bergen County and the Surrounding Areas

Respite care services offer temporary relief to help with the responsibilities of family caregiving. By stepping out of your everyday routine and taking the time to relax, re-energize and refresh, you’ll enhance your own well-being and strengthen your relationship with the person you’re caring for.

Respite care services from FirstLight provide a short-term break so that you can focus on yourself. While you take time off from your caregiving responsibilities, we’re there to make sure your loved one is taken care of and that they get the quality care and attention they need. We understand how important your loved one is. That’s why at FirstLight, we do more.
