First Light Home Care of Marin County
First Light Home Care of Marin County
First Light Home Care of Marin County is a homecare agency serving San Rafael, California and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.
Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.
In California, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the California Department of Social Services and generally must maintain a Home Care Organization (HCO) Registration. California requires registration as a Home Care Organization. Caregivers are generally required to be registered through the Home Care Aide Registry.
Payment Options: In California, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), Home and Community-Based Alternatives Waiver. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact California Department of Health Care Services or visit https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/Pages/AssistedLivingWaiver.aspx to learn about eligibility and how to apply.
When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns. Visit California Department of Social Services for more information about homecare services in California.
Licensing requirements and regulations may change. We recommend verifying current requirements directly with your state's licensing agency.

Veronica at FirstLight home care came highly recommended from an elder care expert in Marin. Every interaction I had with her and her agency was exceptional. She was so easy to get in touch with and communicative. She matched our loved one with perfect caregivers, provided them with outstanding training, and ensured quality at all times. We were so fortunate to be matched with Luis as part of our family member’s care team. I highly recommend using this agency. We used two agencies during our time of need, and FirstLight was the best in my opinion. Thank you to Veronica and all the staff.
My mother had been falling frequently, got hospitalized and needed extra support after returning home. First Light staff provided great support and help while assisting mom. Mom can be challenging to assist, but she felt that the First Light caregivers were responsive, polite and careful in assisting her. Should we need assistance again we will definitely contact First Light for their services.
First Light is an absolutely fabulous home care company in Marin. We have been working with them for over a year as my father navigates dementia. I am consistently impressed by their blend of professionalism and care. I could not recommend them highly enough!
I want to express that First Light goes beyond the typical home care agency. The individuals who work and manage the agency possess a keen understanding of our community’s needs. We have unwavering confidence in their reliability, and their caregivers exhibit exceptional passion and dedication. The management consistently supports all our requirements and remains readily available whenever we reach out. Arlene S
The nursing home shared with me a list of Home Care agencies. The agencies they had recommended had worked with my nursing home in the past. This in itself was reassuring to me. The attendants arrived on time. Some of the attendants had worked together in the past. Again very reassuring. I had to make some scheduling changes with Walter and Veronica. They handled it with ease although scheduling can be difficult. My family member received the needed care. I am grateful that First Light helped me through this stressful time. Mary
