    Brightstar has been wonderful for my father-in-law. They have worked to find aides that fit his needs and personality. The office staff is responsive and do their best to be sure he is well taken care of.

    They keep us updated about the client's status. We were supposed to have a nurse evaluation done and I don't think that the nurse ever went to their house.

    Provider Response

    Thank you so much Randy for your feedback. We are so sorry to hear that and want you to know we take full responsibility for the inconvenience we may have caused you and your family. Please give us a call so we can further discuss how we can fix this issue.

    They've made the experience positive by helping me take care of the client and taking some burden off of me. I'd recommend BrightStar Care more if some of their caregivers were a little more trustworthy and actually showed up when they said they would.

    They did not do anything I asked them to do while they were there. I have no idea what they were doing. They need to have better tracking on their caregivers. We had a caregiver lying about providing services. They charged my dad for a week that the caregivers were not there.

    There were a couple of CNAs that were not so good. I know that it is hard to find employees. It would have been more positive if each one of them was exemplary. One young girl was not trained. She quit after two days. Another one left before she was supposed to. I think that the owner was extremely helpful. She checked in to make sure that everything was okay. Ana the supervisor of the CNAs was compassionate. If a CNA did work out, she was there to replace them.

    I’m a current client of BrightStar Care (Lake Forest Location). I have high standards and it takes a lot to impress me. The quality of service that I receive beyond satisfies the company’s mission statement of providing “a Higher Standard of Home Care”. The quality of customer service is WORLD-CLASS and I feel treated like I’m part of their family. I’m EXTREMELY IMPRESSED with their OVERALL PERFORMANCE to the point I wrote a poem about BrightStar Care and nominated my main Caregiver (Maricon O.) to be the recipient of the 2020 Caregiver of the Year Award. * What services does the agency provide you? Homebound caregiving. * Does their staff typically arrive on time? Absolutely * How are your interactions with the caregiver(s)? Treated like family members. * How responsive has the agency been to your requests? Immediate response.

    I’ve been with Brightstar for about a year now. The nurse I currently see is by far one of the best nurses I’ve ever had. I’ve been hospitalized with six surgeries so that is saying something. Aneliese is kind, patient, and stops at nothing to make sure I’m fully comfortable every time she comes to see me. I get Cimzia shots twice a month. Scheduling is a breeze and I never have to worry about having that extra stress. I would highly recommend this company for home health as I have had such an amazing experience with it.

    They should have their people ready to go. Their caregivers need to be trained more. They should get people that don't talk too much. Caregivers have a tendency to talk a lot. There's nothing wrong with that, but they're here to help me cook.

    I don't write many reviews but the services Mark provided me during a very stressful time of need far surpassed my expectations. As my mother's health failed this past week, I had the urgent need for nursing care for her 24hrs/day. Mark was able to staff our needs on extremely short notice with the most caring and well qualified nurses. As my mother took her final breaths, the nurses were there by my side to help understand the process and provide the comfort care she needed. Thank you for your excellent services.

    My family and I give the highest accolades to Mark and Claire, owner's of Brightstar Care in Lake Forest, Ca.! They have both spent enormous amounts of time on the phone and with my Dad to gather all the specifics of my Dad's care to provide the BEST fit for a caregiver for him. And indeed they did! Joel was a perfect match! He is kind, courteous, personable, and knowledgable towards all of Dad's needs. Even when Dad went to the hospital and Joel spent the day with him, I received nothing but great remarks from all the nurses about how helpful and attentive he was! All the Awards and Certifications this agency has received (there are many) is true to the test! Experiencing other agencies in the past, I wished I have known of Brightstar Care back them! I do highly recommend them to anyone looking for the best care for their loved one! Debbie M.

    It is our goal to allow our parents to live independently, comfortably and safely in their own home. Thanks to Brightstar we have been able to do this. Claire at Brightstar OC is extremely responsive, friendly, thoughtful and compassionate. She and her staff have provided excellent care and staffing to my parents who have significant medical issues. Clare has personally made sure to address my parent's unique needs by finding and matching us with skilled care givers. She has been able to ramp up and down in an extraordinarily responsive manner. Thank You Claire and Brightstar!

    It is not much time, so it hasn't made a huge difference in his life. It has made a nice change though. They listen to you to identify what is needed. They quality of personnel is very high. They also are flexible to your needs.

    They delivered excellent nursing services. The caregiver was the best that I have ever had. I liked the nurse that BrightStar Care provided me.

    Very prompt service. My mother-in-law needed unexpected 24 hour care while we were on vacation. I called BrightStar and they were able to be there for her within the hour.

    BrightStar Care has given me some problems, when a new caregiver comes out, and the caregiver is not prepared for what to do. BrightStar Care does not do their job when preparing their new caregivers, because they are not given instructions. However, when my regular caregiver that comes in, the service is excellent.

    BrightStar Care goes out of their way to help and be accommodating. BrightStar Care has made life easier by being accommodating and able to react when things come up suddenly.

    BrightStar Care is very professional. Their care is outstanding. They work with me and they are always there. If it hadn't been for BrightStar Care, I would not be doing as well as I am. The caregivers are doing everything for me.

    I've only had a few visits, but the nurse is very helpful and proficient. The nurse comes only once a month, but it has made a big impact in my life.
