FirstLight Home Care is hands down the best agency around Blount and surrounding counties. We have used just about every agency and FirstLight has been the most reliable and affordable. Chelsea, our scheduler, has went above and beyond … More to meet our needs. No matter the criteria, she finds the right caregiver. We will continue to use FirstLight!! -

My mother needed around the clock care and FirstLight was a God send. We made a call to their office and the next day they were at our house helping us get set up with the care she needed. The staff has been nothing but genuine and kind, … More they have been so overly accommodating to all of our needs, even last minute changes and shifts, and the caregivers have all been so wonderful. Truly. This company has gone above and beyond for our family and I am so immensely grateful for the wonderful work they are doing. This is a true review. If you need home care assistance, do not hesitate to call them. You will most certainly not be disappointed. They offer the best care on all levels. -

I am a patient at FirstLight. Prayerfully seeking help with some physical needs, I was led to call FirstLight of Knoxville first. When I called I was greeted with the most tender and loving response. I felt a warmth that simply embraced … More me with encouragement. We then set up the first meet and greet with one of the workers, and once again, what she explained FirstLight offers was done with love-filled clarity and so unaggressively presented.
For me, connecting with FirstLight has been truly a joyful process. The dear office staff is ever-attentive to situations that demand the need for a sudden change of caregiver – morning, noon, or night – the caregivers have been for the most part so attentive and respectful in my home. Matching people up so it meets the need of both care-giver and patient, takes great skill and perception, both of which have been demonstrated through my time with this wonderful company. I don't hold false hopes for a perfect fit every time, but whenever I have called with a concern regarding a caregiver and expressed my need for a different atmosphere more conducive to my specific need for healing, they have always solved it quite quickly and effectively. These shifts time, have proved to be what is best for all.
I, too, am praying daily to learn how to be a better, more humble patient, supportive of the caregivers. It is not just one-sided. I'm grateful to be learning how to receive with more grace. This is part of my own spiritual growth as I navigate this scene. I am grateful to know there is always a bigger-picture to all our trials and when we become aware of what problem we are really solving, the real healing takes place – even if only by degrees.
I am kissing my cross.
Flexible, loving, available, always with a tender spirit, are the praises I sing for this specific FirstLife group in Knoxville. Praise God's merciful love glowing and working through this dear company.
With humble heartfelt gratitude that I may testify to a group that is faithfully providing an atmosphere for healing – which is taking place. -

We had trouble finding a good caregiving agency, until we connected with FirstLight. Danika came out right away to do a home evaluation and was so sweet and helped us get set up. The caregivers have always been great. Our main caregiver … More right now is Cheyenne and she is such a hard worker and caring. She is always doing things around our home to help out. She always helps my husband get ready and goes with him to his appointments. Chelsea and the other staff are great at communicating and flexible. I also love, that I have access to a portal and I can see which caregiver is coming next. I would recommend FirstLight to everyone. -

I would like to brag on the caregivers that have been taking care of my mother. They are all beyond excellent Lauren Conforti is retirng and will be sorely missed. Chyanne Brock is an all star and is always, always there. Susan Williams … More is a really good one as well. Taylor Conforti has taken another job, but she was very reliable. Rebbecca Johnson only comes on saturday but is another great one. And Cara Huggins while relatively new to us, does a fantastic job. Please pass this on the the higher ups. Also, would like to give a shout out to Chelsea, Haley and Lisha! Always helpful! -

I was referred to Firstlight Home Care by a friend. I just needed a very small thing that I couldn't do myself. Both Danica & Chelsea went over and above the call of duty to make it happen. They are both very compassionate, … More caring, friendly women. I would not hesitate to recommend Firstlight Home Care. -
