We have worked with Family First over the last 5 years caring for my mom and dad. The live in home companions have been fantastic! They provided excellent care to both my parents. The agency staff is extremely professional and is always there to help.

I worked with Family First Home Companions for about 5 years to arrange care for my mother-in-law. The companions they provided were always competent and provided services that often went above and beyond the job description. The office staff were also wonderful, providing extra hours when I needed it, increasing the amount of caregivers and type of service as we needed. Ellen and Jennifer, in particular, were great listeners and very attentive to our particular needs. When it was time for us to move on to the next level of care, they assisted me with finding the right agency for that. I would not hesitate to recommend Family First if you are looking for Home Companions for a loved one.

A BLESSING to our family! Jennifer Benjamin and her staff are professional and compassionate. My Dad a client since 2019 was resistant to have a caretaker at first but after working with Family First Home Companions he was comforted by the great quality of care, reliability and companionship. I would recommend this company without hesitation.

We have a backup plan for every situation! From time to time caregivers may call in sick, have a flat tire on the way to work, or a family emergency that requires them to take the day off. Ask your home care provider what their plan of action is when a caregiver does not show up for their designated shift. Every home care agency should have some sort of plan in place for these situations- WE DO! Please call us at (631) 319-3961
