When daily routines become a struggle, it’s normal to need extra help for your loved one. It's hard feeling like you have to carry it all on your own.

These five signs can help you recognize when it might be time for in-home care to lighten your load.

07/24/2025

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.

07/21/2025

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.

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.

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
