Firstlight Homecare of West Suburban Boston

I have been working with an 80 year old woman for years and I recently noticed that she was becoming lonely, sad and more depressed as time has gone on. I realized it was because she wasn’t able to enjoy activities that brought her joy because she was no longer able to drive and she got physically tired easily. I thought if she had someone to garden with her, take her shopping or go for a walk that it might lift her spirits. I recommended she call Firstlight Homecare, talk with Wendy about her needs and desires and they would send her a companion that would be a perfect match. That’s exactly what they did. Although she was a bit skeptical at first, they are now best buddies and she looks forward to her visits. Now when I see her, she feels so much better because she feels connected to life and is doing the things she loves.
I also have another client who I just moved to an assisted-​living community. I’m sure you know how difficult a transitions this is for most people. She is so unhappy and her daughter didn’t know what to do. I believed that Firstlight would find my client the «best right person» for her Mom, which they did. Now they go out for lunch, a walk and shopping. She’s like a whole new person.
Every time one of my client’s or friend’s parent’s need companionship, I always recommend Firstlight Homecare. I know they truly care and go the extra mile.

We needed some help and we needed it fast. Thank Goodness that Firstlight Homecare, in particular Wendy, came to the rescue.
I was planning a trip for two individuals who, while not handicapped, do require some accommodation in vehicles, trains, theaters and other venues. I was worried specifically about how they would manage their various transportation requirements and get the assistance they needed when going to and from restaurants and museums and private homes. Car service wasn’t an option as the driver wouldn’t be available to carry luggage, push a wheelchair if necessary, or check on their wellbeing.
Firstlight Homecare provided assistance with everything we needed on the trip. They escorted my bosses from venue to venue while ensuring their safety and contentment. They also provided the transportation to and from the hotel to the various venues and then managed the luggage from the hotel back to the train station. They did it all with aplomb — no request was too difficult. Even more impressive, they managed to pull this together for us literally at the last minute, the very day before the start of the trip.
Everyone that we have talked to, or my bosses met, at Firstlight was efficient and they could not have done more to ensure my bosses’ satisfaction. More importantly, given their expertise, I felt that they could competently and safely handle anything that would crop up during the trip.
Firstlight also worked with us to ensure that any insurance coverage we were entitled to for the care they provided would be covered. They filled out our insurance forms and worked happily with us on any manner of details.
I just wish that this particular crew of Firstlight personnel were available for my own parents. I can’t rate them highly enough.
