Client Reviews
I am so thankful I found First Light Home Care (McHenry County). My husband had extensive spine surgery. We were not anticipating the need for home health services during recovery, but quickly realized that I could not be the sole caregiver and still do other necessary things — like sleep. Luckily, First Light was able to fill in within a day or two of speaking with them. Each staff person I spoke with was professional, yet friendly, and did their best to accommodate our needs with scheduling. The caregivers were a joy to have here. They were warm, interesting and ready to lend a hand. We were worried it would be awkward to have a caregiver in our home, but they made it easy. We highly recommend First Light of McHenry.
We began working with FirstLight in October of 2024. The peace of mind that our care person has brought to our family has been a true gift! To know that there is someone in the home looking out for the well being of your loved ones is immeasurable! She has been caring, dependable, VERY attentive to the needs of our parents and brings a bright light into the home everyday. Sande, the owner, told us we could expect the best and time has proven her to be correct:)
Sande, Rachel and the entire team at FirstLight are wonderful! They provided excellent care for my elderly father during our time of need. They were so compassionate and their empathic care, communication and overall kindness made a very difficult time for our family that much more bearable.
I highly recommend FirstLight to anyone who needs their loved ones care for.
There are no words to truly express the gratitude I have for the entire FirstLight McHenry team. From the moment of my first contact with Sande, I was treated with compassion for not only my mother but myself. The entire team has been amazing and truly care for the patient and the family. Sande has been able to anticipate things I didn’t even know I would need. Scheduling has been very flexible with me and as my moms situation changed they picked up the slack quickly, efficiently and professionally. I would recommend this agency highly.
The caregivers do a great job working with my mom, who has been dealing with both the confusion of dementia and chronic pain. Rachel the office manager and owner Sandy have been great at handling special requests I have, as well as being flexible and responsive in adjusting scheduling and care as my mom’s needs change. Everyone here has been really good to work with. I particularly appreciate how easy it is to reach them when anything comes up, as I’m out of state and rely on them for information as well as care-giving assistance.
I cannot say enough good things about the staff at FirstLight Home Care. The staff was extremely accommodating to my mother’s every need. They were professional in the way they worked with both my mother and myself. Most importantly, everyone we encountered during this difficult period was kind. That means the most to us. Thanks to everyone at FirstLight for the wonderful service.
Every one of the caregivers I have met is great. They are always smiling and very helpful. I would recommend FirstLight to anyone who needs in home care.
What a great Agency to work along with Especially with Kirstien Young . Makes a workday Much easier, and it brings me joy to see the family getting great care.
First Light is an amazing agency! Sande and Beth are fantastic to work with- every time I stop by the office I am welcomed with big smiles- the compassion they show is reflected through the care they provide! Highly recommend!
