As a veteran, I’ve dedicated my life to serving my country, and I was seeking a rewarding business opportunity that would allow me to continue serving others.
FirstLight gives me this opportunity and has helped set my business up for success. The company’s core values and the level of support they offer Veterans and all their franchise owners allows me to best serve the members of my community.

I did my vetting process with many home care companies, and none of them have the caliber of leadership that FirstLight has. It’s reassuring to me that the majority of the
leadership has been in the home care business for many, many years.
To be a part of FirstLight, you have to have a passion for taking care of people and making a difference in someone’s life. That’s first and foremost. You have to be driven. And also you have to have a caring personality.
Firstlight is an awesome company. You can’t ask for better support, or more excellent people than those you work with—and they really are making a difference.

What compelled me to partner with FirstLight was the extensive experience and success that Jeff Bevis and his leadership team had in the space. After meeting with several leading brands, FirstLight was the only brand that asked me why I wanted to be in this business—the others just wanted to talk about growth and financial opportunities. FirstLight was highly interested in whether or not I was a good fit for the culture they were trying to create, which was very important to me.

Consistency is one of the biggest factors that sets FirstLight apart from other companies in this space. Overall, we make sure that clients feel comfortable in knowing they will have a consistent caregiver in their home and someone they can trust. In other companies this is not always the case as clients are not seeing the same caregivers and the type of care they receive changes each week. As long as FirstLight exists, owners will always have the support they need out in the field.
