Woodbridge residents Paul and Reneé Jones co-own the new location, which offers a variety of companion and personal care services to residents of Prince William and Fairfax counties, including the communities of Burke, Clifton, Dale City, Fairfax Station, Lake Ridge and Woodbridge.

The FirstLight Home Care office is located at 3310 Noble Pond Way Road in Woodbridge and serves area seniors, new mothers, those recovering from surgery and other adults in need of assistance. FirstLight caregivers are available to help with a variety of needs – from personal hygiene and household duties such as cooking, cleaning and running errands, to mobility assistance and dementia care.

“Over the last twenty years, I was fortunate to serve the community of Louisville, Kentucky as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Over time I developed a desire to broaden my understanding of leadership and business, in hopes of making an even greater impact in the lives of families in need,” explained Paul. “In 2014 I returned to my alma mater, the University of Louisville, and earned my Master of Business Administration degree with a concentration in health sector management. I want to put my education and experience to work building a business with an organizational culture that sets the standard for excellence in service to the community. FirstLight shares our vision and gives us the opportunity to build a company that loves its employees like family, who are, in turn, empowered to change our community and the world.” 

“Paul and Reneé’s goal to build a business that benefits the Woodbridge community, coupled with their business acumen and commitment to creating a culture of care for their clients and employees, make them the perfect pair to open the first FirstLight location in the Woodbridge area,” said Jeff Bevis, FirstLight Home Care Chief Executive Officer. “We can’t wait to see the positive impact their work is sure to have on the communities they serve.”

Since opening its first franchise location in 2009, FirstLight Home Care has experienced steady growth and now has 115 locations in 30 states throughout the U.S.
