FirstLight Home Care of Columbia — Local services in West Columbia

I have worked with FirstLight Home Care for almost 5 years and could not be happier with the culture that our owners Lisa and Chris Price have fostered. I began working with FirstLight as a caregiver while in CNA classes and immediately felt welcomed and supported in my role. The onboarding and training that I received made me feel confident and excited about the prospect of caring for the clients that we serve. Every new week I gained more knowledge and skills that allowed me to be the best caregiver that I could be. All this while continually being supported by the owners and office staff. Fast forward a couple of years and I am now serving as a care coordinator for the team. FirstLight encourages development of their employees, and this showed when they took a vested interest in my abilities and insight and wanted me to join their admin team. I now have come to oversee the care that our clients receive, ensuring that our amazing caregivers are fully equipped and excited to provide.

My sister in SC has used aides twice a week from First Light for several years now. Due to her declining health, I took over the financial responsibility of the service about two years ago.

It is more than just the aide. If there are any concerns about anything, someone from First Light calls me and makes sure I am aware of what is happening. First Light’s staff is well informed and professional. I could not be more pleased. I know there is someone there, if needed. I highly recommend First Light for Home...

We had tried another service with a good reputation and were not pleased. After trying FirstLight, we didn't need to look any further. Lisa and her staff are fantastic! They have gone to extreme lengths to provide the help we needed. Lisa even changed a light bulb that I couldn't when she came out to interview us. Lisa makes sure that she knows your needs and your personality and matches the right helper to your situation. Due to the irregular nature of our needs we have gotten to know quite a few of FirstLight's employees and every one has been personable and willing to help in any way they could. It is obvious that Lisa is in this business because she wants to help people. I promise that...
