We have been a part of the First Light family for about five months now. I say family because that is truly what it feels like to us. Everyone has been incredibly welcoming and understanding, and my dad is receiving excellent care. Although … More his care mainly consists of companionship and gentle reminders, it has been wonderful.
He has had great experiences with Talia, Amber, and many of the other caregivers. He is especially grateful when Lourdes visits. They share similar backgrounds and have meaningful conversations. My dad lost my mom three years ago and misses her very much; he feels very comfortable sharing memories with Lourdes, who is always compassionate when they speak about her.
I could not have chosen a better care team on my own. Thank you, First Light, for all that you do. -

What a pleasure it is to be able to write a review of FirstLight Home Care of Volusia. We unfortunately picked another company before we chose FirstLight to care for our father. After the first company did not meet our expectations, we … More were skeptical that we would find the right fit for dad. After speaking with John Bordas (owner) and being completely transparent with my concerns and recent disappointing experience, he reassured me that the care dad would receive would be exactly what we expect. This company not only has met our expectations, but they have exceeded them. My father has a couple very specific requests and FirstLight has been incredibly accommodating. We have caregivers in our home 5-6 days a week for quite sometime and LOVE the consistency of these amazing individuals. Nicolay, Kelsi, Madison, Elaine, and Serap have ALL been great with dad!! Each time we get to meet a different caregiver, I have been so impressed by each individual John has hired for this amazing team.
Inviting someone into your home and having to make a difficult decision to have them take care of you or your loved one can be quite a stressful experience. I highly recommend FirstLight to be your first call. -

I was in search of home care for my mother-in-law, who the family had placed in an assisted living/memory care facility in Port Orange, FL. What a mistake! It was a horrible decision. When we decided to bring her home, I searched for many … More hours and days for just the right fit for my mother-in-law's care at home. It was both time-consuming and complicated. My initial contact with FirstLight was with John Bordas, the owner of the company. John was kind, patient, caring, and listened to everything I was worried about concerning home care and aides for my mother-in-law. He, himself, had been through the same situation with his Grandfather as we were, which caused him to start his business, FirstLight. He was very helpful and forthright with every bit of information he could provide me to help me navigate through the process. We did choose FirstLight for the end of my mother-in-law's life care, and we were not disappointed. John provided the most wonderful aides for her. We felt they were part of the family, even though they were not there for very long, since my mother-in-law passed away fairly quickly after we brought her home. I can't say enough about this company. One aide in particular, Norma, was the kindest, most soft-spoken, and caring person I have ever met. Any family that has Norma in their lives as an aide or companion for their loved one, will be blessed. You will be so happy with FirstLight if you chose to use them. I only wish I had called them before we made the decision to place Mom in a facility instead of keeping her home for her remaining time. Thank you, John, for everything you did to help me and my family. You went above and beyond with all the help you provided me in making the right decision.
Sincerely,
Debbie -
So glad I used FirstLight to get home care for my Dad. They were able to quickly set us up with help. Heather was a blessing to have. So knowledgeable & kind. I would highly recommend them. -
My caregiver Talia has done a beautiful job, she’s like a daughter I never got to have. She’s try’s everything to make sure I’m comfortable and happy it makes it her mission to make sure my daily life is easier. -
I contacted first light in reference to help my grandmother with daily needs and getting to appointments, so, far the services have been great. She is happy, I am updated every week with things regarding her care they try and match … More the client up with a staff member that’s compatible, John and Rebecca have been great at communicating things with me regarding her care and needs. If you or a loved one are looking for a place to help your loved ones. Feel free to reach out to them. They will be more than happy to assist in every way needed. They are a godsend for my grandmother. I’m able to rest easy at night knowing she is taken care of. Thank you John and Rebecca.

He has had great experiences with Talia, Amber, and many of the other caregivers. He is especially grateful when Lourdes visits. They share similar backgrounds and have meaningful conversations. My dad lost my mom three years ago and misses her very much; he feels very comfortable sharing memories with Lourdes, who is always compassionate when they speak about her.

He enjoys the conversation, is mentally and verbally stimulated, and i feel confident he’s in good hands while I run my errands. Thank you Samantha and First Light for hiring such a quality person.
Today was the first visit from First Light Home
Care. Ashley was EXCEPTIONAL!!! A hoyer was delivered today and it did not work properly. We finally called the EMT’s and put me on the medical bed. I cannot due much due to Muscular Dystrophy. She went above and beyond and has a wonderful personality. You are lucky to have such a great employee.🌝
We highly recommend FirstLight Home Care and owner, John Bordas! Their team truly cares about the families and clients they serve, and it shows in the compassion and professionalism they bring every day. We’ve had the pleasure of providing CPR training services for their staff, and they are always engaged, eager to learn, and committed to keeping their clients safe. It’s refreshing to work with a company that values both quality care and continued education. Thank you for all you do for the Volusia County community!
In my search for a home health aide for mom, First Flight Home Care of Volusia was impressive. A representative named Dawson was thorough , personable patient & professional. He had us set up and ready to go with an aide for mom in a very short span of time.
It has only been a week but from the first day, mom’s aide Samantha has been great. She is very prompt, calm, kind and has a lot of experience with dementia patients.
So far, we are very pleased.
FirstLight has been amazing to work with. The caregivers are kind, dependable, and truly care about the families they help. Communication has been great and their entire process felt supportive from the beginning. Highly recommend to anyone looking for home care in Volusia County.
As an estate planning attorney, I frequently work with families navigating difficult transitions, and having a reliable home care partner is critical. FirstLight Home Care of Volusia consistently stands out for their compassion, responsiveness, and commitment to preserving dignity and independence for their clients. Their team clearly prioritizes personalized care and strong communication—two things that make a meaningful difference for families during challenging times. I would confidently recommend them to clients in need of quality in-home care support.
FirstLight has done a great job providing care for my family, especially in this overwhelming time. John, the owner, is very hands on and genuinely cares about both the clients and the families. Highly recommend to anyone looking for care in Volusia County!
Working with FirstLight has been a pleasure. I was happy to have caregiver, Tamia Bozeman, come to my home to assist my husband. She was friendly and caring. Her ability to reassure him when he became anxious was an important skill. Tamia was very understanding and attentive. Thank you!
What a pleasure it is to be able to write a review of FirstLight Home Care of Volusia. We unfortunately picked another company before we chose FirstLight to care for our father. After the first company did not meet our expectations, we were skeptical that we would find the right fit for dad. After speaking with John Bordas (owner) and being completely transparent with my concerns and recent disappointing experience, he reassured me that the care dad would receive would be exactly what we expect. This company not only has met our expectations, but they have exceeded them. My father has a couple very specific requests and FirstLight has been incredibly accommodating. We have caregivers in our home 5-6 days a week for quite sometime and LOVE the consistency of these amazing individuals. Nicolay, Kelsi, Madison, Elaine, and Serap have ALL been great with dad!! Each time we get to meet a different caregiver, I have been so impressed by each individual John has hired for this amazing team.
Inviting someone into your home and having to make a difficult decision to have them take care of you or your loved one can be quite a stressful experience. I highly recommend FirstLight to be your first call.
My family and I have really appreciated the way FirstLight has handled our situation. The caregivers are very kind, patient, and reliable. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for home care in Volusia!
My husband and I have been extremely pleased with Aliena! She’s a fantastic caregiver to my husband. Aliena shows respect and honors my husband! She’s a very special person with a beautiful heart! Now my husband will ask – when is Aliena coming? Aliena has turned bad experiences into a delightful experience of caring for both of us! We are thankful for FirstLight and one of their wonderful caregivers, Aliena!

I was in search of home care for my mother-in-law, who the family had placed in an assisted living/memory care facility in Port Orange, FL. What a mistake! It was a horrible decision. When we decided to bring her home, I searched for many hours and days for just the right fit for my mother-in-law’s care at home. It was both time-consuming and complicated. My initial contact with FirstLight was with John Bordas, the owner of the company. John was kind, patient, caring, and listened to everything I was worried about concerning home care and aides for my mother-in-law. He, himself, had been through the same situation with his Grandfather as we were, which caused him to start his business, FirstLight. He was very helpful and forthright with every bit of information he could provide me to help me navigate through the process. We did choose FirstLight for the end of my mother-in-law’s life care, and we were not disappointed. John provided the most wonderful aides for her. We felt they were part of the family, even though they were not there for very long, since my mother-in-law passed away fairly quickly after we brought her home. I can’t say enough about this company. One aide in particular, Norma, was the kindest, most soft-spoken, and caring person I have ever met. Any family that has Norma in their lives as an aide or companion for their loved one, will be blessed. You will be so happy with FirstLight if you chose to use them. I only wish I had called them before we made the decision to place Mom in a facility instead of keeping her home for her remaining time. Thank you, John, for everything you did to help me and my family. You went above and beyond with all the help you provided me in making the right decision.
Sincerely,
Debbie
So glad I used FirstLight to get home care for my Dad. They were able to quickly set us up with help. Heather was a blessing to have. So knowledgeable & kind. I would highly recommend them.
My caregiver Talia has done a beautiful job, she’s like a daughter I never got to have. She’s try’s everything to make sure I’m comfortable and happy it makes it her mission to make sure my daily life is easier.
I contacted first light in reference to help my grandmother with daily needs and getting to appointments, so, far the services have been great. She is happy, I am updated every week with things regarding her care they try and match the client up with a staff member that’s compatible, John and Rebecca have been great at communicating things with me regarding her care and needs. If you or a loved one are looking for a place to help your loved ones. Feel free to reach out to them. They will be more than happy to assist in every way needed. They are a godsend for my grandmother. I’m able to rest easy at night knowing she is taken care of. Thank you John and Rebecca.
