Stacey Mora, Psy.D., Director of Client Care
Stacey Mora earned her Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology in 1998 from the California School of Professional Psychology–Los Angeles, specializing in the treatment of individuals, families, and children. As FirstLight’s Director of Client Care, she brings both her clinical expertise and personal experience to the families she serves. Stacey has found that the most effective way to support clients and their loved ones is through a Family Systems approach—an approach that allows her to see and meet the needs not only of the client, but also of the primary caregiver and family as a whole. Her advanced training guides the way she assesses each client’s unique situation and facilitates a seamless beginning—and ongoing relationship—with FirstLight. Stacey is committed to meeting every client where they are, offering both insight and compassion to help them embrace Home Care with confidence and peace of mind.
Stacey’s dedication to this work is deeply personal. Her father, who lived with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) for 23 years, was her hero and left an indelible mark on her heart. She understands firsthand the profound meaning of “the long goodbye.” In addition, when her mother faced unforeseen health challenges, FirstLight’s caregivers stepped in to provide care—giving Stacey the priceless gift of more quality time with her Mom. These personal experiences have fueled her passion for ensuring that every family feels supported, understood, and cared for.
Outside of her professional life, Stacey loves traveling with her best friend and life partner, Chad—especially their twice-yearly visits to Nelson, British Columbia, a place they love for its beauty, charm, and the chance it gives them to slow down and recharge. At home, their Golden Retriever, Walter, keeps them active and brings constant joy with his playful, affectionate spirit.

Throughout her career, Amber has had a lot of upper level management experience overseeing both managers, employees and their operations.

Matt Zastrow, Co-Owner
Matt’s first venture into business ownership was in his early 20’s with an investment from his grandparents. Since then, he has gone on to open 9 businesses across several different industries. He has opened businesses in Nevada, Oregon, Arizona, Canada and Idaho.
In 2019, Home Care was introduced to him and he found that it was a perfect fit. He diligently searched out the company that aligned with his values and he found that in FirstLight. Simultaneously, his grandmother was receiving 24/7 in home care which allowed her to stay where she wanted to be (at home) rather than go into a facility. She was able to stay home until the end of her life at 98 years old, because of the help from amazing caregivers.
Each day as care is provided to so many through FirstLight, it reminds him of his grandparents. It is a beautiful way to honor their memory and the impact they had on his life.
In his free time Matt enjoys spending time with his children doing anything and everything active, especially boating, any sport that involves a ball and riding their bikes around town.

One of her greatest achievements was helping open Hayden Canyon Charter as a member of their founding board. More recently, she assisted in writing and promoting a book called “rePURPOSE Your Mind.” In January of 2021 she wanted a job where she could give back to the community, so she joined the FirstLight team as a caregiver.

Hailee Brown, Scheduler
Since she was old enough to work, Hailee has been a caregiver. From the very beginning she assisted in all facets of caregiving, including dementia, transfers, bathing, and brief changes. She worked in various places and with many different clients, including her own family members. What she loves the most about caregiving is being able to help someone who is not able to help themselves. She worked with her last client for three years until she got injured and was no longer able to provide the care her clients needed.
She worked in various jobs, but she really missed caregiving. So in the spring of 2022 she started looking for opportunities that would bring her back to caregiving. When she ran across the job posting as a receptionist and assistant scheduler for FirstLight Home Care she thought it was a perfect fit and perfect timing for her. Having been a caregiver herself, what she loves the most about working for FirstLight is how FirstLight has a caregiver focussed culture, treating their caregivers with respect. Hailee has now been promoted to lead scheduler and enjoys making sure clients and caregivers not only have what they need, but are happy.
Hailee’s world revolves around her daughter. She says they are like two peas in a pod. She loves to laugh and take life in stride. She also enjoys everything about music and concerts. But her favorite thing about life is Halloween. She says her motto is that any day can be Halloween.
