Here's what our employees have to say about working at FirstLight Home Care :
Kind and genuine owners! It all flows from there
Scheduling coordinator (Current Employee) - Clearwater, FL
I would Encourage anyone in the healthcare field to at least attempt to have this as a primary or secondary job! Even if you have not been in the healthcare field but have had personal experience they are willing to help you through!"
Great experience, fun and supportive work environment
Caregiver (Current Employee) - Clearwater, FL
FirstLight does a nice job matching my skills and experience with the right client. They are always there to answer any questions and offer support. They offer several benefits that are nice- health & dental insurance, paid time off, training, and they even pay my mileage and travel time."
Great Culture, Fair, and Supportive
Caregiver (Current Employee) - Clearwater, FL
Typical day is assisting clients with their day-to-day activities so they can remain at home. I learned so much here- they run paid training meetings every week on relevant topics that help support my role as caregiver. Management is fair- they just want you to work hard and do the right thing. The culture is fun- lots of events, food, rewards for performance, etc. The hardest part is in dealing with difficult clients or families that have unrealistic expectations about what I do. When that happens, I let my supervisor know and they handle it well and support me. I love my clients and winning them over- so often they are scared and upset about their condition. I try to overcome this and help them enjoy the best quality of life that is possible and that's the most rewarding part! FirstLight is a great agency- I'm very happy here."
