Client Reviews
Taking care of our aging parents has been the biggest challenge our family has ever faced. First Light graciously cared for them allowing them both to stay in their home for as long as possible. The caregivers were trusted and very caring and kept us informed of their daily activities. Thank you for being there for our family.
Had several encounters with nurses and PSWs from FirstLight Home Care - super impressed with their level of care & professionalism. The entire team is amazing, especially Eric & Monique. They go above and beyond to ensure comfort and attention to detail - they are super compassionate and their dedication really makes them stand out. I can't recommend anyone else more highly!
I cannot speak highly enough about the amazing team here, from the nurses to the support staff. Every single member is not only incredibly professional but also genuinely caring. They consistently go above and beyond to ensure the comfort and well-being of their patients. Whether it was offering reassurance during difficult moments or taking extra time to explain treatment plans, they truly made me feel valued and supported. Their compassion and dedication are evident in every interaction, making this healthcare service stand out. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable, personalized, and exceptional care!
I had a great experience with FirstLight Home Care Canada. The caregivers were professional, compassionate, and attentive to every need.

I had an amazing experience with FirstLight home care. Their caregivers provide exceptional care for the elderly with kindness, patience, and professionalism. From day one, the staff made us feel confident that our loved one was in great hands. They go above and beyond to ensure comfort and well-being by treating clients like family.
We decided to bring in private care services for our mom who lives in a facility and we’re so glad we went with FirstLight Home Care of Halton. From the start the team was caring, professional, and really listened to what we needed. Monique and Eric were especially amazing. They were kind, helpful, and always there when we had questions or concerns. Their support made a tough time a lot easier. Our mom received such thoughtful care and we’re really thankful. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for extra help for a loved one.
I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with the management team at FirstLight Home Care of Halton, particularly Monique and Eric. Their professionalism, support, and dedication to both staff and clients truly set the tone for a positive and compassionate work environment. It’s a great team to be a part of!
I went through several websites of different health care companies and talked to a few; FirstLight stood out among them. I asked a lot of questions and Eric gave me the answers to my complete satisfaction. I was further reassured that I was making the right choice when Monique arrived to do the assessment. She assured me that the caregiver they will assign will meet all my requirements. Rupi, my care giver, turned out to be very caring, looked after my needs, accompanied me to my appointments, helped me with my exercises, and made me feel very comfortable and safe just having her around. If you're looking for a caregiver, without hesitation, I definitely would recommend calling FirstLight Care of Halton.

I work at a retirement community in Willowdale and have had the pleasure of knowing Karen Javier from FirstLight Home Care North York for two years. She and her team are by far some of the most dedicated and compassionate nurses and PSWs I've ever met. As a fairly new owner, Karen works hard to market her business and build her brand. But what sets her apart is her ongoing involvement AFTER a new client enlists her services. Karen continually checks in with them and their family members to ensure the highest level of satisfaction, and that her team is approaching each client interaction with kindness, empathy, gentleness and the utmost respect. I will continue to confidently refer anyone in need of a home care provider to Karen and her team at FirstLight North York.Posted on S. D'SouzaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Karen at First Light Home Care has been providing private PSW support services to several of our residents, and the families who use this service have been extremely pleased. Karen attended our recent Open House in January 2026, where she was patient, kind, and attentive to everyone she met. Despite having a family matter at the time, she still made the effort to be present, which spoke volumes about her professionalism and commitment. Karen and her team are a true asset to First Light Home Care. Thank you for your continued dedication and support.Posted on North York Seniors CentreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Highly recommend First Light Homecare for anyone looking for a caring and dedicated team.Posted on Ronald LindsayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First Light was recommended to me by a Social worker that I know very well. I required them to look after my Partner/Girlfriend, a woman in her 70,s who had been in hospital with kidney problems. The owner in Toronto came to the hospital downtown with one of the caregivers to meet us and help us go home. She then arranged for persons to be on 12 hour shifts at my home to look after my partner. All the caregivers were fantastic and very caring and helpful. The owner Karen called and/or emailed me regularly to check that all was in order. I strongly recommend Karen at First Light Home Care.Posted on Ice SicleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Since February 2025 we as a family have had need for extra care companion (PSW) assistance for our mom. Good fortune that we met Karen Javier and some of the team from FirstLight Homecare. The team is easy to work with and accommodates our mom and our needs as a family in her care. This not just as PSW’s but as people whom show an actual genuine care in time spent with our mom Elisabeth. Traits such as punctual , caring, helpful, good conversationalist and listeners, reliable, and compassionate describes Kathleen, Lenin, Favour and Karen. Mom says “ they are always very nice and we have lovely conversations and time together”.As a family we would recommend this wonderful team to anyone else that may need extra assistance for their loved ones. A sincere thank you to all at FirstLight Homecare. Know your help is appreciated by our family, stay well all.Posted on bob bishopTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
