FirstLight Home Care of Bergen County has been a Godsend to our family. My father had resisted home care for years. We finally made the decision that it had to be done whether he liked it or not. After calling a large health care facility … More in our town and getting the run around, I contacted First Light because they were close to us. Boyd called me immediately asking pertinent questions and answering anything I needed to know. We were able to decide on our schedule what time periods and days we needed someone. Since my Dad served in WWII, Boyd helped us contact the VA and get him extra home care hours paid by them. Louis and office staff always at our disposal. If I leave a message, they get right back to me. Someone also periodically calls me to see if everything is going well or any concerns. Our aide is wonderful. She is caring and goes above and beyond to help my Dad. I know he is in excellent care when we are not there. Could not ask for more. I definitely recommend this particular office of First Light. Best decision we made. Thank you all for caring about my Dad! -

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!

Client Reviews
FirstLight Home Care of Bergen County has been a Godsend to our family. My father had resisted home care for years. We finally made the decision that it had to be done whether he liked it or not. After calling a large health care facility in our town and getting the run around, I contacted First Light because they were close to us. Boyd called me immediately asking pertinent questions and answering anything I needed to know. We were able to decide on our schedule what time periods and days we needed someone. Since my Dad served in WWII, Boyd helped us contact the VA and get him extra home care hours paid by them. Louis and office staff always at our disposal. If I leave a message, they get right back to me. Someone also periodically calls me to see if everything is going well or any concerns. Our aide is wonderful. She is caring and goes above and beyond to help my Dad. I know he is in excellent care when we are not there. Could not ask for more. I definitely recommend this particular office of First Light. Best decision we made. Thank you all for caring about my Dad!

We found ourselves in a situation that required immediate response and Boyd Lowrey responded right away. He was at our house that very afternoon and we had a 24 hour coverage that night.
We met Beverly, who served as permanent 24 hour live in within two days (which was remarkable because the events occurred the weekend of the big snowstorm)
Beverly has been lovely. She is kind and respectful and very helpful. She was readily able to meet Dads needs efficiently. She was quiet, tidy and a good cook!

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!
