FirstLight Home Care of Grand Junction

When my mom began needing more help at home, I was overwhelmed, scared, and unsure of who to trust. She’s always been the strong one in our family , the caretaker, the listener, the heart of our home. I knew that if anyone else was going to step in and help care for her, it had to be someone truly special. FirstLight Home Care was exactly that and more. From the very first phone call, I felt heard. They took the time to understand not just what my mom needed, but who she was her personality, her routines, the little things that made her feel safe and at ease. Every caregiver who walked through our door treated her with so much kindness, patience, and respect. They didn’t just “do their job” they truly cared. They talked with her, listened to her stories, held her hand when she was having a rough day, and brought comfort into our home during a time that was anything but easy. They made her smile again. They gave me peace of mind, and for the first time in a long time, I could sleep at night knowing my mom was being looked after with the same love I would give her myself. The team at FirstLight became part of our family. I could call anytime with questions, concerns, or even just to check in and they were always there, kind and responsive. It never felt like a business transaction. It felt like a team of people who genuinely wanted to help, who genuinely loved what they do. My mom’s quality of life improved because of FirstLight, and so did mine. They allowed me to be a daughter again instead of a full-time caregiver. They gave us time together that wasn’t just focused on stress and tasks but on love, laughter, and presence. To the caregivers who cared for my mom thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are angels in scrubs. You gave my mom dignity. You gave our family peace. And you’ll always be a part of her story, and mine. If you’re looking for care for someone you love, please know this: FirstLight Home Care is the best decision we made. They were a blessing when we needed it most.

Both of my parents were in need of care in their home. The amount of stress that I was under to try to help my parents and make sure they were safe was dauting. I am the only family member my parents have to help them, and it is a lot for me to take care of alone. When I was referred to First Light I was told that Lori the owner would be reaching out, and she did immediately. The amount of care that Lori showed for my parents and even for me was astounding. Lori and her staff were amazing with my parents. They communicated to me weekly sometimes daily. They let me know if there was something I needed to be aware of, and they were always flexible. Lori was always checking on me because she knew how difficult this was for my parents and for myself. I would recommend First Light to anyone who needs that extra attention and strive for the best for their clients.
