Bobby Scruggs: Co-Owner, President & General Manager of FirstLight Home Care of Austin

Bobby leads the business development and community relations of the agency. Prior to opening the FirstLight office, Bobby held a number of Sales Management, Customer Marketing and Business Development positions with Fortune 500 companies during his 30+ year career in corporate America. Bobby graduated from Ohio University with a BBA degree in Marketing. He always wanted to own his own business, so he founded Scruggs Family Holdings, Inc. in 2018 and it serves as the parent company of FirstLight Home Care of Austin.

His passion for the senior care industry began when his dad, Samuel Scruggs, Sr., was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease in 2008. Living the experience of searching for the optimal care for his dad, he developed a keen interest in the health and well-being of seniors. He is now devoted to helping other families explore all of their options for senior care.

Bobby also volunteers with the Alzheimer’s Association-Capital of Texas Chapter and serves on the Board of Directors for the Austin Kappa Education and Leadership Foundation (AKELF).

Michelle Scruggs is Co-Owner and Administrator for FirstLight Home Care of Austin. She completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics at Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio, where she aspired to a career in Education.

Prior to relocating to Austin, Michelle put her career on hold to become the primary caregiver for her Mom, Barbara Gollatte, for the final three years of her life. She was grateful to be able to stay at home with her Mom and support her when Barbara was in the most need. That experience along with Michelle’s innate compassion for others continues to drive her attentiveness with seniors.

In addition to her responsibilities as our Administrator, she oversees our FirstLight Caregiver Training curricula to ensure that our caregivers have all of the tools that they need to provide quality care to our clients.
