    FirstLight Home Care is an outstanding choice if you or a family member have any kind of need for assistance or care at home. I’ve worked very closely with some of their staff and clients since I am in the long term care insurance business … More with Mutual of Omaha and am just amazed with how involved they are in such a positive way with the community and their clients. FirstLight is one of the few home health care companies I know of that regularly send out a supervisor to make sure everything service-wise is being provided at a level that can never be less than excellent, AND they accept long-term care insurance as a way to cover all costs. And a special shout out to the lovely Ms. Jennifer Green who never fails to go above and beyond for anyone that she can help. She is truly a difference maker in so many lives and I am so grateful to have met her!
