Our Expert-Led Process

  • 1. Intake
  • 2. Discovery
  • 3. Care Planning

You can get started with Family First online or by calling 1-800-214-5410.

Based on your caregiving situation, you'll be paired with a dedicated Care Expert, who will lead your Care Team and serve as your single point of contact.

Our discovery process uncovers the real and root causes of your caregiving challenges. Interviews, virtual in-home assessments, and medical records review are just some of the tools in our tool box.

Data we collect is integrated into our Expert Caregiving Platform, which helps our Care Teams uncover gaps in care that others may miss. Responsive solutions are presented in a Care Plan, which we adjust as circumstances change.

Your engagement with Family First is provided at no cost to you by MetLife. Our Care Teams are ready to provide ongoing support and ensure plans are adjusted to changing circumstances and new challenges that may arise.
