First Light homecare is a home care program that is financially reasonable and caring. Their staff asks all the right questions to match your loved one to a care giver that would come in twice a week to give socialization and activities … More while the family may be free to go on errands or just have an outing. Highly recommend their services. -

We have retained First Light (FLHC) for my mother who lives in Honolulu for over 3 years.
FLHC has done a terrific job providing assistance and companionship on a regular basis.
They are well organized and managed and since we live on the … More mainland an invaluable resource to insure my mother gets the assistance she requires. The company regularly reviews and gathers input to update my mother's care plan.
They have also been flexible to make schedule changes so that scheduled medical appointments can be kept.
HIGHLY Recommend this great group of people! -

We went through a few services before I found FirstLight to care for my mother. What a godsend they were for mom and for us. I am so grateful for their kindness to Mom as she was not that easy to care for. Lauri and Joanne worked with us … More to find the right combination of people to make mom happy and comfortable. -

It's such a honor and blessing to be part of FirstLight Home Care as a caregiver. I feel so at home here because I finally found a company who treats me like ohana (family). It makes my passion as a caregiver even more joyful and rewarding … More to know I have a genuine, loving, compassionate, understanding and supportive staff (Lauri & Joann are AMAZING!!) to help be there for not only for my clients needs, but as well for myself.
I definitely highly recommend FirstLight to those families who are looking for homecare for your loved ones as well for those who are also seeking employment. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. You will feel the love right away because I sure did!! God bless you.
Client Reviews
FirstLight has been a Godsend and our caregiver was wonderful. My mother had to move to the mainland to be closer to family. I wanted to share that when Mom and her caregiver said their goodbyes they hugged and cried – I was really touched, and even though it was difficult parting as they bonded so well, heartfelt gratitude to FirstLight for such excellent and caring placement. Mahalo nui for all your kokua and expertise.
