My father is having people 24/7, but he only needs help for 5 min out of each hour. The aides are very caring and nice with my father. It is hard to communicate with them.

They helped her the most by providing companionship, physical aide, and support. I would recommend them because of the one particular aide we ended up using who was very special.

My dad's in rehab, but when he was there, he was great at organizing the apartment. He provided conversation and kept him company. They're easy to use, thorough, and understanding. It's easy to get service at the last minute.

We only use them once or twice a week, the aids do their job. I can't give them as set schedule, so it's hard getting the same person. A couple of times the aids were late. They could be more punctual.

As of now the aide we currently have has been wonderful. The caregivers are helping Patricia get better both mental and physical abilities. We are able to sleep at night. We don't have to worry about that anymore. Improvements are needed by training their new hires better. More specifically, the aides that we have that are new were terrible. They didn't know the equipment and lied about their knowledge.

We have several home care aides assigned to us and the difficulty was that people were not able to continue and a more stable continuing service would have been better. I liked that they were pretty efficient in finding a home care aide initially.

I think the most important thing is I feel safer when she gives me a bath and seems to understand me, and she is good at knowing how to interact with me. I like the quality of the person, Camile, who is taking care of me. She is very caring and very willing to carry out what I need.

They sent the caregiver to help my mother when she was recovering from surgery. They need to be a little more flexible about the amount of time the caregiver can stay for any given day.

They told us that the CNAs would be awake if they were on the night shift and there were many times that they were not. They need to make sure that what they tell us can and will be done. They did not do what they told us they would do.

It unburdened my husband and I from caring for my mom, my only suggestion is that I know a lot of training happens on the job but the caregivers need some training on basics. I like the case management, they are exceptional.

They are here to get the things done that I need to get done. Even if I don't need anything, they keep me calm, cool, and collected. I would recommend them highly because of the girls, but the office staff is not good.

I would think they could just be more attentive. Most of them spent their time on their cell phone. Some of the 12-hour care individuals are not as pleasant as they could be.

I need them to be able to do things better. The people who come need to be better equipped at all levels, such as preparing meals and their ability to do certain things like pick my father up if he has fallen on the floor.

They have taken the stress out of my mom's day to day living. They are right there if she needs anything. They are professional and have a nurse check in to make sure the caregiver is doing what they need to do.

It's very positive because given my mother's condition, the ability to have an in-home full-time provider is pretty much invaluable. There's always room for improvement and no one is perfect. They could have a higher level of communication and more involvement of the actual selection of candidates for caregivers.

It has been positive. It's been a few weeks since we've had the service and we are on the third person, so the inconsistency is a little hard, but I know it's hard to find a good caregiver. They have been good, but they need to communicate the changes a little more. They have been very supportive. The people who have come have been good.

I would tell them to check the different nurses that are available for care. There are some good and some bad nurses. Interview the nurses first. They have helped the most with my father's mobility and day-to-day needs.

We had several problems with Bright Star. There was a constant fluctuation in the CNA's that were sent to take care of my father. For example, in one week 's time, there were 8 different CNA's sent out to the house - all extremely confusing for a person with Alzheimer's. They never new the routine, what medications to give my father, etc. There were several items taken from my parent's home and when it was reported to the agency, it was blamed on my mother as she was "forgetful and must have misplaced the items"...
