FORBES AMERICA’S BEST FRANCHISES
2018 & 2019
“It’s an honor to receive this recognition from Forbes. We’ve spent a lot of time ensuring our business model is profitable and offers tremendous support for franchise owners. This recognition is a testament to the achievement of our franchises and demonstrates why we get high marks on franchisee satisfaction. We attribute our growth to two things: The first is the expanding population of older Americans who prefer to age at home. The other is a business model that focuses on exceptional caregiving and support for our clients and franchise owners.”

FRANCHISE BUSINESS REVIEW TOP VETERAN’S FRANCHISE
2012, 2013, 2016 – 2019
“Being named one of the top franchises for veterans is something we’re very, very proud of. We really pride ourselves on having very strong systems, processes, structure that just really match well to a veteran coming out of the military, because obviously they’re used to working under very well-defined structure and process, too. We see this award in two different lights. One is we’re very honored to be named a top franchise for veterans, but we also provide care for many veterans, especially World War II vets, Korean War vets.”

Eric Friedrich
Franchisee in Brunswick, GA
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.

Franchisee in Clearwater, FL
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.
