First Day Homecare is a unique private nursing service that was founded in 2020 in Flint, Michigan, by a group of medical professionals who recognized that when families are caring for medically fragile loved ones, they shouldn't have to do it alone. We understand that these vulnerable individuals require comprehensive care that can often extend beyond the home. Our highly qualified nursing staff are carefully selected to provide that care.
As a First Day Homecare private duty nursing business owner, you’ll be proud to be making an impact on your community, giving needed aid to health-compromised children and adults, providing attractive staffing positions for medical professionals, and building a better future for yourself.
Why First Day Homecare Exists
All too often, when medically fragile children and adults are discharged from the hospital, parents and other family members are left to take care of them alone. Unfortunately, nurses are often not treated with the respect they deserve, nor are they paid what they are worth. At First Day Homecare, we offer a solution to both of these problems.
We fill in the gaps in the current homecare service model with a business that is strategically designed for those who wish to make an impact in others’ lives while creating a future for themselves via franchise ownership.
When you join us at First Day Homecare, you’ll empower families with medically fragile members by assigning them the best nursing staff to attend to their needs.
