- FirstLight Home Care of La Jolla has been an incredible support to our family. From our initial contact, every member of the team has been incredibly helpful, … More knowledgable and kind.

She has gone above and beyond for my Mom and our whole family. Her problem solving, responsiveness and understanding of my Mom's health predicament has been an enormous comfort to my Mom. I can't say enough about our appreciation. In fact all the caregivers have been amazing. Mary Joy and Vicky both stepped in, preventing my Mom from a possible fall. Every one of the caregivers has been kind, alert and invested in my Mom's
well-being. Marisa, the office manager has supported my Mom in her home during a medical crisis and she has stepped in helping us navigate our long term care insurance as well. Matt, the owner is basically available 24/7. He has been a knowledgeable, professional resource in all ways. He is responsive and flexible and has a true commitment to excellent patient care.

Thank you to the entire team at Firstlight for all you do! - I am writing to let Matt August and his team at FirstLight know how much we appreciate the care and support they have shown my Mom. At 92 she is having … More some health problems and they are the reason she has been able to stay safely in her home. Marla, Kim, Lynn, Mary Joy, LaShonda, Vicky, Paige and Marissa have all been kind, patient and professional and Matt has been wonderful.
