Director of Nursing

We are here to make everyone feel at home. Patients. Parents. Nurses. Family First Homecare is how children with complex medical needs can get the highest level of care in the comfort of their own homes. To make homecare work, it takes a partner who will always do three things: tell the truth, own the details, and raise the bar. Only Family First Homecare brings this approach. We want to invite caregivers to a team and environment, where they can deliver the kind of one-on-one patient care that drew them to nursing in the first place. We want to get our patients and families home, but we also want to provide a place our nurses can call home too.
