I myself had been there,” she said. “About 15 years ago, my family was faced with devastation, when my younger brother who at the time was only 31 years of age had a massive stroke. We were left with challenging decisions of who could provide best care for my brother. Because I was a stay-home mom at the time, I took on the task of caring for my brother. It wasn't easy managing three toddlers and
taking care of stroke patient at the same time. However, I believe that what helped my brother through his recovery process was the quality of care he was getting from me and my family. Having surrounded by my family with his nieces and nephew encouraged my brother to get better and on fast track to his independency, When I heard about FirstLight, I knew I have to join the team and get on board. My husband and I was drawn to a franchise because we recognized the important of building a brand on a regional or national basis that should have unique value in the eyes of customers that we're trying to attract. She said that after meeting with Jeff Bevis, the founder of FirstLight Home Care, “that FirstLight Home Care is the brand we can be proud to represent.

The agency serves residents of Middlesex County, including the communities of East Brunswick, Helmetta, Monroe Township, Milltown, Old Bridge, North Brunswick, Parlin, Sayreville, South Amboy, South River and Spotswood.

We are always seeking ‘extraordinary’ caregivers to join our staff.
