FirstLight Home Care

Beckie Rushing, our nursing director, has just returned from a skills retreat hosted by world renown dementia educator, Teepa Snow, MS, OTR/L, FAOTA at the Snow Approach Foundation, Inc. in Hillsborough, NC. The three-day event was by special invitation for those who have earned Teepa's "Positive Approach to Care" (PAC) certification. First Light is the only PAC designated home care agency in North Carolina. As a certified PAC trainer, Beckie is looking forward to teaching these new skills to our caregivers. #WeAreCaregivers #WeDoMore #dementiacare
