You blink, and suddenly, they’re not the ones helping you anymore. You’re helping them.

They’ve always been someone for so many. Now, they deserve someone extra who's there for them.

We provide the extra support your loved one needs, so you don’t have to carry it alone.

Can't face turning on the oven this summer?

This Mandarin Chicken Salad is a huge crowd-pleaser at barbecues all summer, and, when you add a little extra protein, it makes a well-balanced meal that helps you beat the heat.

If you or someone you love could use a sous chef, light meal prep, or assistance with other activities of daily living this summer, a professional caregiver from FirstLight of Greater Charlotte can help. Give us a call or reach out online to learn more about your options.

The way forward isn’t always clear. If you're trying to balance what your loved one needs with what feels right, know that care at home with the right people is an option.

Because they deserve to keep living life on their terms, and you deserve peace of mind, too.

Summer in Greater Charlotte is a fantastic time for summer adventure with the whole family.

If you're spending time in the sun with a senior in your life, there are a few extra steps you can take to ensure your loved one stays cool and comfortable while still enjoying the sunshine.

Check out our recent blog for easy ways to address some of the most common summer safety concerns for seniors and local resources that can help: https://www.firstlighthomecare.com/home-healthcare-charlotte/2025/07/18/summer-sun-safety-for-seniors/

The beauty in summer isn’t just the sunshine: it’s the small rituals that come with it. A porch chat at dusk. Iced tea in a favorite glass. A breeze through the open window.

But for older adults, summer also brings safety risks that can turn those beautiful moments into dangerous ones.

At FirstLight, we help seniors enjoy summer safely, so those small moments stay sweet, not stressful.

Because of care, the everyday feels more connected and full of the moments that matter.

What’s one little moment that reminds you exactly who your loved one is? A laugh? A catchphrase? A daily ritual?

At FirstLight, our caregivers learn those moments- and protect them with care that feels personal.

You want to know your loved one's okay, but you also want to see them smile.

When their hands find the paintbrush, their eyes light up with every brushstroke and their sense of self stays strong. Moments like that don’t have to fade, thanks to hands-on help from a professional caregiver.

Independence looks different for everyone.

For Deborah, it’s sharing a meal at home with help from her caregiver, Cindy, who knows her routines, preferences and what makes her feel seen.

On a day we celebrate freedom, we’re reminded that one great freedom is staying where you want.

Your aging loved one forgot where she put her keys, called your daughter by her sister’s name and stared aimlessly during lunch. Sounds pretty normal, right? Of course, forgetfulness happens to all of us, but if your loved one has any of these early dementia warning signs, you may want to schedule an appointment with a medical professional: https://www.firstlighthomecare.com/blog/three-early-signs-of-dementia

This Father’s Day, we thought it appropriate to highlight our “Godfather of the West Coast,” Mark Paretchan, owner of FirstLight locations in Marin County and Sonoma County. Mark got his nickname because of his love for mentoring others, and one of his most notable mentees is his son – and VP, Assistant General Manager – Charlie.

Mark, what’s one unexpected thing you’ve learned about Charlie while working together?
“I have learned to be more patient and am excited about the future of our family business because of his efforts. We spend a lot more time together and I am impressed with his abilities in the operational side of our company.”

Thanks, Mark and Charlie, for showing us that fathers and sons can discover new things about each other at any age.

You’re probably aware of what Alzheimer’s Disease is, but how does it change the brain, exactly?

Alzheimer’s slowly damages the connections that help us think and remember. Then, plaque builds up and cells tangle, affecting memory centers first and then spreading to impaired thinking, behavior and bodily functions later.

So, if your loved one is dealing with this disease, this is why you may notice memory loss first, then she changes in everyday behavior over time. Take a closer look at how Alzheimer’s affects the brain here: https://www.alz.org/alzheimers-dementia/what-is-alzheimers/brain-tour-part-2
