Becoming a Caregiver
Professional caregivers go by many names: homemakers, home care aides, home health aides, certified nursing assistants, personal care assistants, direct care workers. No matter the name, what they all have in common is a calling to care for people in the comfort of their own homes.

As our population ages, the demand for caregivers is growing every day! Is this career right for you?

Member businesses are independently owned and operated. Your application will go directly to the member business, and all hiring decisions will be made by the management of that business. All inquiries about employment at these businesses should be made directly to the business location, and not to Home Care Association of America.

About FirstLight Home Care

Our mission is to help people have their best day -- every day.

Every caregiving situation is different. It may be a family member who has to take care of someone full-time due to illness or dementia. Or, it may be a friend who is having difficulties that often come with aging. Our caregivers are more than ready and capable of handling these unique situations. Your loved one deserves more than having someone who simply keeps them company. They deserve a caregiver who is passionate about creating meaningful relationships and motivated to do more.

Our caregivers will take on all of the tasks that must be done – cooking, laundry, cleaning, help with bathing and mobility. But we do more than that. We listen more intently, care more passionately and laugh more heartily. We provide comfort, companionship and compassion for any adult who needs the services of a caregiver.

We know how important your loved ones are. We understand you want someone who genuinely cares. Someone who will treat them as the treasure they are. That’s why at FirstLight, we do more.
