Our Story
Having experienced firsthand the challenges of finding help and support for aging members of our own families, we very passionate about providing quality, reliable and trustworthy in-home care services in our community.
Our families have both called Thurston County home for multiple generations. After college, we both chose to return to Olympia to live, work and raise our children near extended family and friends. We couldn’t imagine a better place for our four kids to grow up than right here, attending the same schools we attended, enjoying the same parks, playhouses and sports activities, and most important, spending time with family.
About 10 years ago, our grandparents and their siblings began to need more support with basic household routines. Family stepped in to help, but as the time required to provide that assistance grew, and dementia and mobility concerns increased, we wish we had known there were options for assistance other than moving our loved ones out of their homes – where they much preferred to stay.
In other words, we’ve been where you are, and that’s why we opened FirstLight Home Care – South Sound, to serve our community by providing the assistance seniors need to maintain independence, dignity and respect, while also providing the support families need for peace-of-mind.
Our services, which include hospice care, companion care, personal care, Veteran’s care, adult assisted living care, and both long- and short-term care, help seniors enjoy warmth, independence and relaxed comfort in their own home or any setting.
Whether it’s just a break for family caregivers to run errands or take a vacation, a regular visitor to ensure meals are healthy and the house and laundry are clean, or maybe your loved one needs more care than your family can provide, our FirstLight Home Care family can help.
We are proud to have been voted the "Best Home Health Care Agency" in the South Sound the past FIVE years in a row -- 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019! We are also the only home care agency in Thurston County named a Best of Home Care "Provider of Choice" by Home Care Pulse, the premiere quality management company in the home care industry.
We are a growing locally owned business with an emphasis on finding and training extraordinary people to provide exceptional care. Our family of caregivers are skilled, compassionate and reliable – only those we would trust assisting our own parents.
So visit us at FirstLight Home Care – South Sound, and let us know how our family can help your family.
