National non-medical home care provider to open new southwest Michigan location

KALAMAZOO, Mich. — FirstLight Home Care, an award-winning provider of non-medical home care, announced today it will open a new location in the Kalamazoo area in early 2019. The office will be owned and operated by brothers, Jeremy and Don Fellows, and Jeffrey Lamborne.

The Fellows and Lamborne currently own and operate FirstLight Home Care locations in Grand Rapids and Muskegon. Their business success has allowed them to expand operations and open a third office to better serve southwest Michigan.

“Jeremy, Don and Jeffrey have been an excellent example of the core values of FirstLight Home Care and have set a high standard for home care in southwest Michigan,” said Jeff Bevis, FirstLight Home Care co-founder and CEO. “The need for home care is growing, and FirstLight’s focus on providing exceptional and compassionate care to those in need has made us a leader in this industry. We are eager for continued expansion in southwest Michigan and to extend FirstLight’s culture of care to meet the growing need in the Kalamazoo community.”

The new FirstLight Home Care will serve the greater Kalamazoo area, including Comstock, Portage, Cooper, and Scotts. Qualified caregivers — home health aides and CNAs — interested in FirstLight career opportunities are encouraged to email jfellows@firstlighthomecare.com.

FirstLight serves seniors, adults with disabilities, new mothers, veterans, those recovering from surgery and other adults in need of assistance. Their caregivers help with many needs – from personal hygiene and household duties, such as cooking, cleaning and running errands, to mobility assistance and dementia care.

Since opening its first franchise location in 2010, FirstLight Home Care has experienced steady growth and is now operating more than 250 locations in 34 states throughout the U.S.
