WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO OPEN FIRSTLIGHT HOME
CARE OF GREATER SCRANTON
I’ve had over 20 years of experience at a large company providing
services for people, but I wanted to open my own business and provide
a service that made a positive impact on people and the community.
People are living longer, but often without the natural support of family
nearby to help provide care. We provide transportation to medical
appointments and errands, light housekeeping and meal preparation. We
assist people with personal needs, medication reminders and many other
services that they need to be safe and independent.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT DOING BUSINESS
LOCALLY?
Our clients and caregivers are the fabric of the community. Our clients
want to live in their homes if possible, so we work with the clients to
identify their needs and match them with one of our local caregivers. By
hiring local people, clients get the companionship of caregivers that have
shared memories of the area, which is especially comforting to clients with
dementia. I’m very proud of our caregivers, they love helping others and
we work hard to match them with clients whose needs match their request.

Member since 2017
This business grows through relationships and networking. Everyone I’ve
met at the Chamber has been welcoming and supportive. They know the
community and are quick to share their knowledge of local resources.
They promote local businesses and generate opportunities to network.
FirstLight Home Care’s hope is that other members of the Chamber will
reach out to us if they know someone who needs help after reading this.
We’re all neighbors and I want to contribute to the Chamber’s success
because a strong Chamber is going to contribute to mine.
