Our Story

Built from
lived experience.

Lovely Merdelus, MBA · Founder & Care Advocate, Health First AT HOME

Health First AT HOME exists because competent care and compassionate care should never be two different things. I know this not just as a healthcare strategist who spent years inside Mass General Brigham” I know it as a daughter who watched her mother navigate a system that was clinically capable but culturally disconnected. That experience changed everything. I built Health First AT HOME to close that gap and I refuse to settle for anything less.

Listen first, always. We take time to understand your needs, routines, and what matters most before any care begins.
Dignity at every step. Our human-first approach honors independence, cultural identity, and the whole person.
Consistency you can count on. We match Care Partners thoughtfully and stay closely involved as your needs evolve.
