Meet Our Family: Lakeland Office

At Family First Homecare, we take pride in our commitment to delivering exceptional pediatric home healthcare services. Today, we shine a spotlight on our Lakeland office, where this dynamic team works together to support our patients and families. 

Welcome to Lakeland 

Family First Homecare Lakeland provides exceptional homecare services to children with life-long health conditions in Polk, Hardee, and Highlands County, Florida. The Lakeland team is dedicated to supporting its team members and nurses and keeping its patients healthy and at home. 

Meet Our Team 

The Lakeland team values collaboration, working together to cultivate a fun work environment. They are committed to providing the best care for their patients, which starts with caring for each other.  

“Teamwork makes the dream work. The employees at Family First know that they can lean on each other. Not only is there great teamwork within our own office but there is teamwork company-wide from field staff all the way up to corporate.”

– Brittany, Director of Operations

“Family First encourages collaboration and communication between office staff and clients, as well as the field staff.”  

– Angela, Personnel Coordinator

“Our office enjoyed the time spent together during our holiday party. We ate, laughed, danced, and had a great time getting to know each other outside of work.”  

– Brittany, Director of Operations

Our Home Away From Home 

The Lakeland office is a home base for all employees, from field nurses to personnel coordinators. The office is a place for team members to find support and resources to help them grow professionally and personally, while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Our office has a dedicated skills lab where we host our annual skills fair, encouraging nurses to stay up to date and refresh their knowledge. This year’s theme was Spring Fling. 

“Family First cares about and supports its employees while also challenging them to grow. We trust and respect each other which leads the employees being more productive and satisfied.”

– Brittany, Director of Operations 

“Family First encourages a good work life balance to ensure you to maintain good mental health.” – Angela, Personnel Coordinator 

Making a Difference 

The impact Family First Lakeland makes goes beyond patient care. The Lakeland team goes above and beyond to create moments of joy for their team members and patients, owning the details in all that they do (including rescuing kittens!).  

“During Easter time the office staff dressed up as the Easter bunny to visit client’s homes. It was very rewarding to see how happy this made our clients and families.”

– Angela, Personnel Coordinator 

“Brittany, our Director of Operations, found a stray kitten on the way to work one morning. She brought the kitten into the office with her for the day and we enjoyed getting to play and cuddle with the kitten who is now a part of Brittany’s family.”

– Angela, Personnel Coordinator 

Always Raising The Bar 

Family First Lakeland is always raising the bar. From finding ways to improve patient care to encouraging employee growth, they are standard-setters in the world of homecare.  

“When I was in the field the office staff worked with the family and the insurance company so I could care for my client at her sister’s wedding and allow the family to truly enjoy the wedding.”

– Amy Van Buren Gilbert, RN 

“Family First is transparent with their employees and encourages them to set professional development goals to grow within the company.” 

– Brittany, Director of Operations

At Family First, we promise to Raise the Bar, Own the Details, and Tell the Truth.  Our Lakeland office is a beacon of this commitment, serving as a hub of healing, support, and hope for families throughout the community.
