Providing Home Care Services to Bergen County and the Surrounding Areas

Although there are differences, both home care and home healthcare have the same goal: to keep your loved ones safe and as healthy as possible. They often work together. For example, a home health aide or nurse may visit the home and adjust prescriptions, while a non-medical caregiver ensures these medications are taken correctly. Home care fills the gap between those needing medically skilled services and individuals who require companionship and help with daily living activities.

Is your loved one active and mobile, or do they need someone to assist them throughout the day? A personalized in-home senior care plan in Bergen County, NJ is created based on your family’s unique needs. FirstLight provides compassionate care for seniors and adults—from a few hours a day to 24-hour or live-in assistance.

The most common way to pay for home care is private pay. However, certain senior home health care services may be covered by long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, public programs such as Medicaid, and some Medicare Advantage plans.

FirstLight offers a full range of personal care services, companion care, respite care, dementia care, and specialty care for veterans and adults with disabilities.

It depends on the type of care that is needed. At FirstLight Home Care, our priority is to understand your situation and needs. We’ll schedule an in-home visit, discuss care options, and once the agreement is signed, determine a start date and personally introduce your caregiver.
