We had our annual Christmas gathering to thank our wonderful team for all they do to help our clients live their best lives at home!

We were missing several other team members who had other commitments but we enjoyed great food, wonderful fellowship, and a fun visit from Santa! So grateful to every single person who comes through our doors. We are truly blessed with the best!

✨ Fabulous Friday Spotlight! ✨

What a perfect day to share why our small, family-owned agency is so incredibly proud of our care team!

Kristi stopped by one of our client’s homes and caught our caregiver going above and beyond — the kind of heartfelt care that makes all the difference. 💛

We are truly blessed with the best.

Way to go, Madison! 🌟 Thank you for all you do for our clients & our team!

It was a wonderful Wednesday afternoon. Kristi spent the afternoon hosting a caregiver support group and promoting awareness about caregiver self-care, including the physical and mental signs of burnout.

The intimate gathering facilitated great conversation. We appreciate the invitation from Oak Grove Christian Retirement Community.

I have seen a number of personal care opportunites come up on social media community boards, groups and personal pages. While I am sure they all have good intensions and want to help our most vnurable population it is good to consider this information.

I have spoke with familes who have had bad experiences and I just want to drive awareness and be sure that you do your due diligence when inviting someone into your home or your loved ones home. 


As families explore in-home support for loved ones, it’s important to understand the difference between hiring privately and working with a licensed agency.

A private caregiver may charge less, but ask yourself these key questions before inviting anyone into your home:

• Are they bonded and insured in case of accident or theft?
• Have they completed national background checks and drug screenings?
• Do they have a current TB test and up-to-date training?
• Who steps in if they can’t show up for a shift?

At FirstCare Homecare, every team member is thoroughly vetted, background-checked, drug/TB tested, trained, and supervised — giving families the peace of mind that comes with professional oversight and accountability.

Yes, agency care may cost a bit more — but it’s an investment in safety, reliability, and dignity for those you love most. ❤️

Happy Thankful Thursday! We are delighted to share with you our newest Porter county team member! This is Alycia. She loves caring for others and enjoys meaningful conversations. She is joyful & kind hearted and we are excited to see her use her skills to help & encourage others.

In her spare time she loves the beach & enjoys exploring what this world has to offer. Please help me give Alycia a warm welcome to our FirstCare Family.

This is Mark. I am so blessed to work with him as his healthcare advocate, cheerleader, encourager, supporter, life coach and most importantly his friend.

Each year, we make our annual trip to Illinois to visit his parents’ final resting place at the cemetery. It’s a special day that Mark looks forward to every year.

We always stop for lunch he’s very structured and routine-oriented—so it’s usually a small Chinese restaurant in Brookfield, IL. but today, he surprised me and requested Culver’s! I’m so proud of him for stepping out of his comfort zone and trying something new.

I truly believe God gives each of us gifts, talents, and abilities to make someone else’s life better. Working with seniors isn’t for everyone, but it’s where my heart is. I’m beyond grateful for every moment I get to spend with all of my clients and for the privilege of helping them navigate the often murky waters of aging and care options.

It’s moments like this with Mark that make me smile from the inside out. My Grammie would be so proud—she has always been my “why.” 💙

And yes….Mark approved this message. 😉
