    I contacted FirstLight Home Care after my dad began losing his memory. He is very active and needed someone to motivate him and do activities with him, so this was not a traditional caregiver situation. When we first met with Matt, he immediately … More knew what he thought would be best for my dad, quickly understood his personality, and had Kia from his care team start working with my dad. It has been about 3 months so far, and the experience has been so great and I love seeing my dad have more of a routine in his retired life. Kia has been awesome and is super bubbly, warm, yet very relaxed.

    We recently started needing caregivers to help my 80 year old mom who has early Alzheimer’s. Matt has been extremely responsive & helpful, and my mom’s caregivers (Lauren & Jessica) have been absolute angels with my mom. I am lucky … More to have found good care & am grateful for all of their help!

    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 some health problems and they are the reason she has been able to stay safely in her … More home. Marla, Kim, Lynn, Mary Joy, LaShonda, Vicky, Paige and Marissa have all been kind, patient and professional and Matt has been wonderful. In fact he personally visited her in the hospital and has worked with us to figure things out. We cannot thank him and the group enough, and would recommend them to our friends and family in a heartbeat.

    Matt and team at FirstLight have been fantastic. My wife and I had been caring for my elderly mother, and it was becoming overwhelming as we both have full time jobs. We contacted FirstLight, met with Matt the owner, and ever since have … More been completely satisfied. The caregivers and the staff at FirstLight have been extremely helpful, friendly, and dependable. FirstLight also set the wheels in motion for the beginning of hospice care, as we were having challenges implementing hospice through my mother's doctors and insurance. We would definitely recommend FirstLight to anyone in need.

    FirstLight has been a life saver! We engaged FirstLight to provide additional companion care for our elderly mother who recently moved into an assisted living community. Matt (owner) and Jessica (caregiver) have been wonderful in identifying … More and providing exactly what our mother needed. Our mother loves Jessica and because of her encouragement and companionship, she is no longer isolating and finally engaging and enjoying all that her community has to offer. Our family is so grateful!

    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, knowledgable and kind. When our Mom was taken to the hospital in an emergency, … More they provided a complete wrap of services during the hospital stay. Then they arranged the discharge and finally coordinated immediate 24 care at home. The caregivers are all skilled and professional. Marla, my Mom's main carer has become part of the family. 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. We cannot thank the Firstlight team enough for their exceptional dedication and compassion, allowing my Mom to live in her home while providing the family with the reassurance that our Mom is both safe and being cared for.
