FirstLight Home Care, an award-winning provider of non-medical home care, today announced it will open two locations in the Tampa Bay area this fall. The offices will be owned and operated by Farooq "Mark" Hamid and Jabeen Hamid.

FirstLight Home Care of North Tampa will be serving the north Hillsborough area, including Temple Terrace, Thonotosassa, Lutz, Pebble Creek and New Tampa. FirstLight Home Care of East Pasco will be located in the Land O'Lakes area and will provide services to southeast Pasco County, including Dade City, Zephyrhills, San Antonio and Wesley Chapel. Qualified caregivers — home health aides and CNAs — interested in FirstLight career opportunities are encouraged to email Mark Hamid at [email protected].

The FirstLight offices will meet increasing demand for home care in Florida as baby boomers choose to age at home. 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.

"The need for quality, non-medical home care services has never been greater," said Jeff Bevis, FirstLight Home Care co-founder and CEO. "We are eager to extend FirstLight's culture of care to meet this growing need and help improve the well-being of members of the community."

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.
