CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Feb. 18, 2022 - PRLog -- FirstLight Home Care, has named Brian Roh of Charlotte, NC as its National Caregiver of the Year.

Roh was presented with the honor during a National Caregivers Day appreciation event. He was nominated for the award by Ken and Mary Ellen Fleming, owners of FirstLight Home Care of Charlotte.

"Brian is thoughtful, genuine and compassionate," said Mary Ellen Fleming. "He goes the extra mile to keep his clients safe, to offer encouragement and treat them with the dignity and respect they deserve. He is just one of those caregivers who never hesitates to simply do what needs to be done."

More than 45 Caregiver of the Year nominations were received from FirstLight offices across the country. Nominees were evaluated on service excellence, quality of caregiving skills and bringing the FirstLight culture to life. Roh was one of six finalists.

"Brian is one-of-a-kind and so deserving of this recognition," said Ken Fleming. "I can't tell you how thrilled we are that he was selected for this national award. And it's even more special to honor him on National Caregivers Day."

Matt Paxton helped FirstLight present the prestigious award. Matt helps families find the upside of downsizing. His public television show, Legacy List with Matt Paxton (https://www.mylegacylist.com/), explores the struggle between holding on to the past and embracing the future and stresses the importance of sharing family stories above holding on to objects. FirstLight Home Care is a proud supporter of this Emmy-nominated series.

"Throughout my professional career and in my personal life, I've seen the positive affects caregivers can have on families and their loved ones," said Matt Paxton. "It can be stressful caring for a parent, whether it's helping them downsize and transition to a new chapter in their life or making sure they can live independently in their own home. The support and peace of mind caregivers like Brian provide to families is invaluable. I'm grateful that FirstLight asked me to be part of this special recognition."
