FirstLight Homecare were wonderful. Monique came to the hospital when my Mom was there within a day to help me get everything set up. The caregivers are very easy to work with and are well trained in their jobs. We had part time, then 24hr … More care as end of life got nearer. Monique also gave me a referral to Hospice which was amazing in taking care of my Mom. I would definitely recommend FirstLight Home Care. They were quick to return calls and flexible with scheduling as our needs changed. -
Monique and first light were absolutely such a wonderful support for me while caring for my aunt Shirley. The caregivers she sent were caring and compassionate, and it was just overall a great benefit to me and to my aunt. Monique is extremely … More professional clear on time and a great person to work with very friendly -
I chose Firstlight Home care for several reasons. I called around 3 or 4 places looking for care for my husband. I ran into Sarah at
a rehab facility in Petaluma. We had spoken on the phone and
set up a meeting. After our meeting I was … More very impressed with her knowledge and caring attitude. As time went on Sarah moved back east and along came Charleen and Monique. They are a wonderful support and passionate about their jobs. They truly care about the clients and their needs. I made the right choice choosing Firstlight as we are forever grateful and blessed to have them. Also, just a shout out to our caregiver Devin Jermon
he is so helpful and always with a smile. -
I can't say enough nice things about First Light Homecare. I called them on the 23rd of December and said we needed a caregiver to start on the 29th. Monique told me that she and Charleen would take care of it. Not more than an hour … More later. I had the name of the caregiver who would be coming and that by the end of the day I would have the first 2 weeks taken care of. Not only did they keep their promise but came out to my Uncle's home with the caregiver to meet us. My Uncle now has 3 very special ladies that make sure they care for him like he was one of their own. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you just does not seem like it is enough to say!!! -
This company, FirstLight Home Care of Sonoma County, is great. There is terrific customer service on all levels. The care given is professional, prompt, friendly and compassionate. Highly recommended. -
Over the past year,First Light Home Care has provided 2 caretakers for my husband. Both have been wonderful and good listeners. Michelle's upbeat humor made him laugh. He and Dawn tell stories and laugh. She is also great in helping … More me keep up with housework. -
Firstlight provided an essential service when I arrived home after spinal surgery. My care giver Annabel not only cared for my physical body, but provided a much-needed presence to ground me and point me in the right direction via recover. … More Thanks a lot! -
FirstLight Home Care was a lifesaver on so many levels. Sarah went above and beyond in kindness and generosity with sharing resources, adapting to changing conditions, and clear communication with every aspect of our arrangements. We felt … More utterly secure and taken care of. Beautiful people and stellar care. My highest recommendation, especially during a time of turmoil and uncertainty. -
Special thanks to Beki Darrow and an outstanding team at FirstLight Home Care of Sonoma County my husband and I got to spend 12 relaxing hours with our adult children and six grandchildren while on vacation. Arranging care for our 96 year … More old aunt in Windsor went quickly and with lots of caring from being available on our first choice day on our Windsor vacation, to having a caregiver come to our home in San Francisco to complete the paperwork and most importantly for assigning a patient, compassionate caregiver our Aunt was very comfortable with. [We have used a local caregiving agency three times in two years – and two of the three times did NOT go well. We nearly missed our flight to our nephew's wedding as the first caregiver did not show up. And the second time, thank goodness our son was able to stay with our Aunt 'til a second caregiver arrived THREE HOURS LATE!]
With our first experience at FirstLight – Beki was aware the caregiver would be late; however, she arrived at the designated time to wait for her……DEFINITELY A SIGN OF A TOP NOTCH and EXTREMELY CARING AGENCY!!! We are now very excited that FirstLIght has a team in our San Francisco area, and are looking forward to using their extremely thorough and compassionate services again!!! Nadine -
FirstLight Home Care of Santa Rosa staff/associates were caring & compassionate with our mother. They initially performed basic care. As her health declined they took necessary steps to do more.
They were pleasant & professional. … More -
Sofia is terrific! Great conversation great service. Definitely will request her again.

We have been using FiresLigh Home Care to care for out 101 year old aunt for several months now and we are extremely happy with the quality of care as well as the overall team based aproach to her care. Highly recommended! -
Sarah and her entire team were fantastic! They truly invested the time to understand my Father's situation and took excellent care of him! They were patient, understanding and companionate. -
A very good experience….I would definitely use FirstLight again.
Beki Darrow was able to arrange a 24hour care giver for me on VERY short notice. Beki was excellent: competent, friendly, and very professional. I will certainly use … More FirstLight again if the need arises.
My carer, Denise, was excellent and kept busy with laundry, etc.,
when she wasn't helping me.
Thank you Beki and Denise!

This company far exceeds what I had hoped for when first looking for care for my dad in our home. They came, they listened, and they quickly provided an excellent solution for our needs. Their flexibility, professionalism, and determination … More to provide the best care is amazing!! I highly recommend them for all, but especially for first time people trying to navigate the steps for care for their loved ones!!! -
Hello, my name is Vilay, I am a caregiver at First Light. I took this job in March 2023 and I absolutely love it. Not only do I love caring for one of the nicest man I have ever met he has also become a friend. We laugh, chat, eat, n share … More stories together. I am a mother therefore caring for an elderly person is a passion I found in myself when I started this position.
First light has treated me so well in many ways. The schedule we have worked out together has been amazing not only for the client but for me as well. And let’s not forget their company picnics by the ocean….great food, great company, great accommodations to the kids, and great raffle prizes. I won a tv!!! Oh n everybody wins!!! My experience as an employee has been wonderful thanks to the Santa Rosa staff. Charlene and Becki are the best!
One last thing I would say is, I am pretty lucky I met who I am caring for!
