FirstLight Passes 300 Locations, Launches Cross-Country RV Tour

CINCINNATI – – October 29, 2026 -- FirstLight Home Care has passed 300 locations across the United States and sent President and CEO Glee McAnanly on a cross-country RV tour to visit its franchise owners, their teams and caregivers.

Best Days Tour began in Maine on Oct. 26

The tour started Monday, Oct. 26, with a kickoff event at Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The first leg covers the East Coast this fall, and additional stops across the United States are planned for 2027.

McAnanly is traveling in a FirstLight-branded RV, which the company calls the "Care-A-Van." She will meet franchise owners in their communities, recognize anniversaries and expansions, and listen to operating challenges. The company said it chose the road over a staged celebration, with McAnanly noting it did not want to mark 300 locations "from a conference room."
