Donna’s business was founded on providing exceptional customer service and having a sense of compassion for caring for others, paved the way into a owning a home care business. Donna had her own personal experience with home care when her father was diagnosed with cancer and her mother needed extra care. She utilized respite care services while taking care of her parents and saw just how special a caregiver was in the life of those that needed the extra help. From her own personal experiences, and her love of building lasting relationships and serving others, owning a FirstLight Home Care agency was a natural fit.
