What Makes Our In-Home Care Different?

• All of our caregivers are direct employees (not contractors) – state licensed where required and thoroughly screened with a corresponding background-check – and must pass through our rigorous in-home care training.

• Following our thorough recruitment and homecare training, all of our employees must go through our unique Culture of Care training and orientation process.

We have all dealt with aging loved ones that need that extra special care that our family members deserve. Owners, Bill and Suzie Whitener and Scott Whitener are no different; they have lived the reality and will continue to do so as they age. A family member's life altering experience revealed a need that only those with a calling could possibly fill, and it was during those times the Whiteners knew their purpose was to serve the community. They opened FirstLight Home Care of Central Polk County, as a means to provide assistance to their loved ones need to maintain independence, dignity, and respect, while also providing the support families need for peace-of-mind.

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 family.
