"My sister was diagnosed with a terminal condition and in early 2024 we could not provide everything she needed. So we hired Brightstar to come mornings to get her up, dressed, help with her PT, and other issues. We also had someone come at night to help put her to bed. And when we needed a break they did 24 hour coverage as she could not be left alone. We were very, very pleased with them. What impressed me most was when something happened that we were not that pleased with they reacted immediately and resolved the situation so it wouldn't happen again. They were professional, caring and developed good relationships with my sister so she felt they were her friends. Thank you Brightstar for making my sister's last months on earth safe and comfortable. JME"

"My mother has Kindred at Home for home health. They've been with her for a while and they're just fine. In fact, there was a girl who came by yesterday and talked to her, a nurse, I think her name was Janey or something. I can't remember now, but she was fine and she was thorough. She checked all of her stuff, she asked her a bunch of questions and stuff, so she was good. The nurse comes every couple of days, and the physical therapy guy, he comes a couple of times or at least one time a week. They are all good. They call me if they have a question and I can call them anytime I want to, and so that works out good too."

"We wish to express our deep appreciation to the Lebanon and Jefferson City “angels” Their care for our family and mother these last seven months has been such a blessing. Their tender concern and patience was excellent and we will be forever grateful. "

"The services Homemaker Health Care provide and my husband's home health aide who comes in is excellent. His LPN who comes once a week to check in because he is diabetic is very good and knowledgeable. I myself work in health care field for 30 years, so I kind of know how things are supposed to go. They actually came to our home and interview my husband. His deterioration has leveled off a bit, so I don't think that there's anything in addition to what they're doing now that would be of any help to him. "
