FirstLight Home Care of the Northwest Valley - Surprise, Arizona

Kimberlee K.

I can not say enough good things about First Light.
We have worked with other care agencies and this experience has light years better than we have experienced or even hoped for.

Barron is kind and responsive. Frankie keeps us updated on any changes to the care schedule, promptly and professionally. Every care worker has been absolutely wonderful with my grandfather. They are attentive, kind , engage him in conversation and are extremely professional. My grandfather requires near full time care and we have been delighted with each caregiver.
We have worked with Wahita, Aurora, Luke, Amelia, Mona and Dawn as our primary core group.
Each of them feels like family. We feel safe and confident in their abilities and having them here offer a level of comfort we didn’t know we needed.
If you have a family member in need of care, I would recommend First Light as your first choice.

As a registered nurse, patient advocate, and senior living advisor, I come across many healthcare professionals. I have nothing but words of praise for Barron and his staff at FirstLight Home Care of Sun City! My goodness ... where do I begin? I've had the distinct pleasure of knowing Barron for a few years now, and I INSTANTLY recognized and felt his dedication, enthusiasm, and compassion to providing quality service and care to all of the families they serve. They truly care about EVERY single family they come in contact with -- as they go the extra mile and then some to ensure they understand the comprehensive needs of their clients. This enables them to provide and guarantee the best quality care for those they serve, ergo providing families with the much needed peace of mind they seek and deserve.

As another individual had mentioned in another testimonial, Barron truly is genuine, kind-hearted, responsive, and passionate about helping others. It did not come as a surprise to me at all when he admitted to me that he was serving his clients as a caregiver, working tirelessly to provide the much needed care and attention that his clients deserved... and THIS truly depicts the extra mile and then some and the extent of his caring and kind heart to which Barron will go to ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.

I HIGHLY recommend Barron and his staff to anyone seeking quality care for themselves or loved ones.

I cannot say enough in praise of the staff and caregivers at First Light Home Care of Sun City, Arizona. Our mother, at 94 years of age, could no longer live independently in her own home, and with First Light's assistance, she was able to come home to continue her recovery from hospitalization for a broken ankle.
She has several medical conditions requiring diligent attention and we found that Barron's compassionate care, great wit and purposeful management of Mom's needs were exactly what our family had hoped for in her transition from independence to nurtured home care.
Riché, Barron's right hand in the office, was consistently aware of our mother's daily needs, and she scheduled caregivers who she knew could best address those needs. We were always pleased with the staff notes after each day's shifts, so that our family was always aware of changes in Mom's daily activities and general health. Again, Riché's staffing abilities were exceptional and so appreciated.
Communication, scheduling, staffing and billing were clear and timely. Caregivers were supportive and truly made it possible for Mom to remain at home as her ankle healed. She enjoyed their care and company, and felt that she had her own "Team" cheering her on.
It is without hesitation that I recommend First Light's compassionate Home Care!

My siblings and I are eternally grateful to Linda Ford and her team for the excellent partnership they provided to us for our mother's home care. We researched a number of options, and they were by far the best. Our mom was able to live comfortably at home until about six months ago, when she relocated to our state and now lives in a skilled nursing facility. We especially appreciated the professional, yet always warm and caring, dedication of Linda, Sherry, and the various caregivers. Although never an ideal situation, there were able to flexibly make changes to the schedule, sometimes with very short notice. None of my siblings nor I live in AZ, so it brought us incredible peace of mind to know that FirstLight was there for our mother. She had a few medical issues during the time we worked with FirstLight, and they would take her to the hospital and stay with her as long as needed. Our mom grew to love many of the caregivers (and it was mutual!), and it really helped her stay engaged socially and mentally to have them not only provide necessary care, but also chat and keep her connected with the outside world. Linda and her team truly care, and they often thanked us for our involvement, which we appreciated. They were patient with our many calls, texts and questions. They were amenable to suggestions and proposed changes. It felt like we were all on the same page with one goal. If you are seeking care of a relative or friend who needs compassionate, qualified home care, please take this as the highest recommendation.

As a friend & Realtor, I first and foremost want to work with people who are kind, honest and passionate about helping others. Barron Hodges and his wonderful staff at Firstlight Home Care Sun City are the epitome of these characteristics.

Barron is the consummate professional, knowledgeable, responsive and above all else a kind and honest person. He is exactly the point person you want for caring for your loved one.

I live in CA. Recently, my sister in AZ suffered a stroke which has left her unable to speak. We're so thankful that her nursing facility recommended that we use FirstLight Home Care to accompany her to a post-hospital dr's visit. Barron went above and beyond, handling paperwork and the co-pay, and kept us apprised of what was happening Even sent us a picture of the two of them at the dr's office! What a relief to have complete confidence that our vulnerable family member was in the best of hands!

This company's services were vital during a difficult time!  Barron Hodges who is the owner personally did the assessment and then was also the caregiver since the rest of his employees were busy during the pandemic. He offered excellent respite care so my son could rest from caring for his father recuperating from COVID. During an extremely challenging time FirstLight Home Care of Sun City was truly an answer to prayer!!!

Can only say great things about Barron and his staff. They moved very quickly to get us help in my mother-in-law's home, and were very flexible wit the scheduling. In particular caregiver Yan was a delight. My M-I-L always looked forward to her visits
