FirstLight is About People

We know your first priority when choosing a home care provider is finding someone you can trust and rely on… someone who will care for your loved one as you would, and as we would our own. We’ve been where you are, and this is one of the main reasons we chose to be in this business.

Boyd Lowry, Owner

FirstLight Home Care of Glen Rock, NJ is proudly owned and operated by Boyd Lowry. Boyd, who was an Active Duty Marine from 1982-1986 and received an honorable discharge. He is dedicated to giving back to the Bergen County community where he has spent the majority of his life.

Prior to opening FirstLight of Glen Rock, Boyd ran his own technology company, focusing on system integration and design of warehouse operational systems. He also worked at New York University in the Personnel department and as a recruiter.

Boyd is committed to helping people throughout Bergen County to have a higher quality of life in their later years. His personal experiences with his parents and in-laws have influenced him to give back to the community by opening a Glen Rock in-home care facility to help people live at home and remain independent. Boyd and his wife, Sara, plan to expand FirstLight Home Care of Glen Rock, NJ to provide the highest quality of care to all of Bergen County.
