When our mom needed a higher level of support near the end of her life, we were fortunate to find…read moreVantage Care. They made sure the scheduling was seamless and were always available if anything changed. I cannot say enough about the quality of care my mom received. It wasn't just the ordinary every-day tasks they handled with patience and care, it was the love and compassion she received from every person she met. They treated her like family and we, in turn, consider them the same.

FirstLight was a life saver for me! I found them by accident while scrolling on FaceBook on a…read moreparticularly hard caregiving day. At my wit's end, their appeal to caring for the caregiver immediately caught my attention! I filled out the questionnaire and got a quick response from the owner who completely understood my circumstance and knew he could help. And that's just what happened. Within days, FirstLight had identified someone who might be a good fit and she was. Then the pandemic hit and having someone to watch my loved one when I couldn't was invaluable. Unfortunately, that person changed careers and it did take some time to find another good fit, but that new fit was extraordinary. All through the months I worked with FirstLight, they were accessible by phone and definitely on the job in terms of questions or concerns. They are a small agency, which I like, but it can take a bit to find just the right person and for them to be available to a new client. Communication between the alternate caregiver, who was experienced in elder care and familiar with hospice, was direct and consistent. Both Admin and Ownership were always on the other end of the phone. It was a pleasure to find FirstLight, even so late in our journey but they made the final few months easier. Highly recommended!

Director Girish Lahoty personally handled the application for help for my elderly parents. I am extremely impressed with the kind and professional interaction with my parents who were resistant to support . I also was extremely happy with the quality of the help provided, provided even in these COVID-19 times. Our experience couldn't have been better, and if we need FirstLight again we won't hesitate to apply. I have a masters in nursing and find the FirstLight company to be top notch. Susanna P. RN MSN

The people who look after my mother are incredibly kind and loving. We've used other agencies and had other folks in our home that are just there to go through the motions... Visiting Angels provide TRUE companionship for the elderly. They talk, the listen, they care and the respond. Most importantly for me is that I have a great caseworker who keeps me in the loop with things that occur in the house. She is a great resource for suggestions on how to handle tricky situations and also a great resource to coordinate things like food deliveries and other things that take place in the house while I am away. If you are reading this you have a loved one that needs support, it is a stressful situation and you sometimes feel like anything you do will be a mistake. I'm here to say that Visiting Angels eliminated so much of that anxiety for my family. Please engage with them and see how they can do the same for you.

My husband suffered a serious systemic infection and spent 2weeks in hospital, 2 weeks in a rehab…read morehospital and then about 2 weeks at Bear Hill back in June 2025. Things started going downhill on his 1st day there. The halls are empty - I always wondered where the nurses were. He was admitted at 2 pm and at 6:30 pm, his nurse had no information about him: the "supervisor" hadn't entered his info in their computer system. The only good nurse he had was Janet. His IV meds were often late and they took a long time to respond to his call light. My husband said some of the evening nurses would ask him "what are you here for?" Guess they don't review the patients' charts. The CNAs, however, were great! I would not send anyone here ever!!! Nursing care is almost nonexistent. This is a late entry as I thought I had already sent a review.
