The caregivers assisted with the medical eye drops and then helped her with walking to the restroom. They did some light housework for her as well. The agency was professional and accommodating to us, especially with the schedule, and tried to help us as fast as possible when setting up that first appointment. The caregivers were always on time.

They've been a bit more expensive than I expected, but they're necessary so I'm willing to pay for it. I would tell them that I've had one really good CNA provider and I've been pleased with her.

They give support to the family as well as the client. They don't currently have the nurse capacity, but I think that is a universal problem right now. I do think they are the best service in Springfield, though.

Jody S_1

Communication is difficult sometimes. Directly communicate with the caregivers. The agency could communicate better.

The caregivers need to stay to wake and be more careful with my mom to make our lives easier. Last week one of the homecare workers was asleep and we couldn't wake her up and my mother fell and got hurt pretty bad.

They have fulfilled every need I had that would go in twice a day at 12 hour intervals and they worked it out for me.

Anonymous_5286

They've helped me with my medication. They're easy to deal with.

Brenda W_12

They cannot do anything different that would make my life easier. I had another facility that helped with light housekeeping and laundry because of the ulcers on my feet. The caregivers that came were able to do my laundry for me. I had to have BrightStar for things medical related. The caregiver was proficient, and she came at the times she said she would come. We used my bedroom as my clean-up, and she brought in some things of her own if we weren't able to get a hold of something quickly.

Leigh S_1

They have one primary caregiver and we appreciate that because my mom is very comfortable with her. BrightStar is primarily giving care to my mother and the care for my father was minimal, but they did a great job.

Margie _1

It is miraculous for me. I am very pleased that they have someone to give them the care that he needs. They are very receptive. They are very well qualified. They are compassionate. I only had to send one caregiver away because he didn't match well with him.

Lucas B

They could be a little more forceful when recommending services to their clients. I would tell a friend that they've been very responsive. Everyone we've talked to has been very pleasant and professional, and they have consistent staffing.

Courtney J

They could set up schedules for her activities. There's a lot of sitting around, and they should find ways to keep her motivated. My mom's not an easy case, and they've been willing to work with us.

Bob W_14

They have helped us the most by going beyond her duty to help my mother. She even helped on a Holiday. I would tell a friend that the nurse named Bonny was wonderful.

If they had CNAs for caregivers but not necessarily nurses. They are professional and prompt. They are reliable.

Connie B_14

They were comforting and knowledgeable. All the nurses that helped me and their supervisors were wonderful.

Beth F_7

We couldn't have gotten by without them. They took care of both my mom and my dad, and when we were in need of care they went as far as having the owner help us. That was very much appreciated. The nurse that was helping my dad at the end spent a lot of time, like seven days a week. Her name was Amanda.

Karen G_15

They're socially nice, helpful, and cooperative. I like that the nurses have been very considerate.

George L_8

It makes everything easier. She even took me to a doctor's appointment in her own car once. The aide that they assigned to me is very good and is always here.

James B_31

I really like Michelle. She is like family to me. She takes care of my wife and her daily needs. She helps me out. That way I can get 2 hours of me time. They are really great. My daughter was going on vacation. She started reading about them and then recommended them.

They do everything, because she can't do much for herself. They cook for her. The people are great. They are easy to work with.

I am working during the day, and it gives me peace of mind to know she is cared for during the day. I like that the communication so far has been good. Our first caregiver didn't work out but I feel like when we called, people listened to us and they took our concerns and made changes for us.

They were giving me my infusions at the correct rate. They seem pretty efficient.

Anonymous_2951

They fix my meals for me. People show up on time.

ReviewerAT0808

We're currently using BrightStar Care Springfield/Bloomington for my mother. They help her get going in the morning, assist with feeding, they get her cleaned up, and they provide companionship. They're here every day, 18 hours a day. Some caregivers are very good, and some are very poor. You need to do a lot of interviewing to make sure you get a caregiver that's the right fit for you.

David L_11

They help with toileting. I like the consistency of being able to have the same person.

John K_35

They look out for me by watching what I eat and make sure I sleep safely. They are doing everything well. They look after me and see that I get everything I need.

John _14

All of the caregivers have been very genuine. I haven't had a lot of direct dealing with them, but we've been very happy with the people they've sent to take care of my dad. When the regular people weren't able to come out, they made sure someone else could go to take care of him.

Megan M

They come in a provide a service that she cannot do for herself and it is great. They are reliable and she seems to like the people that come by and the billing process is easy to do.

Anonymous_3678

If I didn't have them here I would have to stay home. If a normal caregiver can't show up they have trouble finding someone to replace them.

Denise S_10

The medication works well and helped me feel semi-normal with my immune system deficiency. Everything went smoothly. I liked the nursing staff a lot.

Anonymous_3437

They basically do light cleaning for him. They don't have decent quality of care or communication. They don't have consistent caregivers. He's had four or five caregivers already.

David H

If you need a nurse you need a nurse. Since they don't have a lot of visiting nurses it's as good as it gets. I've had a lot of home health aides.

Jack P_2

I have dealt with other agencies, and they have had troubles getting my IV done, and she has no problem. They are doing well, and overall, they are average.

Violet S

I'm here most of the time. They just help me get her up for the day. I don't like that they charge for the traveling fee.

Stan T_1

I can depend on them to do things properly. They are reliable and do a good job.

Daniel E_1

I only seem them every two or three days. There's this nice little gal that didn't do a very good job. I've already talked to several people about the nurses.

Anonymous_1850

My mom really began to trust her, and they got along really well. I like they had both home care and nursing care because we utilized both of them and going through just one company made that much easier. They made a big difference for my mom. They were very easy to work with. The office was great. There was one caregiver that ended up being the primary caregiver. It took a while to get the right fit.

Mary P_22

When you haven't had a caregiver from there and they need to learn how to take care of you, that can put a lot of extra time on the services. I had trouble having a caregiver one night, and they said they would see that it didn't happen again. Also, they could lower the price because their prices are kind of high.

Linda P_10

We really needed the services that they offer. We are much better off with their services. I am considering getting a few more hours, but we have new personnel. She did a good job with the first visit. I could use more hours, but I'm waiting. Perhaps they could have more personnel. I don't really know what the issues are there. We had one individual for quite a while, and she did the best she could. It was okay.

Anonymous_2577

They help by allowing us both to not to have to be burdened down with doing everything for ourselves. They are dependable.

Bruce C_1

I wish I could afford them for everyday. They go to the grocery store for me so I don't have to worry about those things, like I did before. They take care of everything for me. They do the things I can't do.

Susan W_11

They could have more consistency. I would like for them to improve by being more consistent with the people that help out.

David G_10

Bonnie changes my bandages. Bonnie, the nurse, is very nice, friendly, and efficient.

Anonymous_2239

The caregiver is here and engages my mom. She does not just sit in front of the TV. We only use 1 person that we trust, and the rest have been unexceptable.

Tom C_4

It worked out perfectly. Being around pleasant people who know their job gives me a big impact. They did what they said they were going to do. If they wanted to come early, I would okay it.

Rebecca B_4

They should be making sure that my grandmother gets her infusions because without it she would lose her kidney. They have been really good and helpful. They work well with us, are always on time, and are really understanding.

Tracy D

She comes in on the weekends. She fills in times for me that I can't be there. We've had a nurse for quite a while and really like her. She makes sure that my mom is doing okay. She understands her, even though she has a trache.

Kenneth K_2

I'm able to go out of town, do what I want, and then come back and know that she's taken care of. When I hurt my ankle, they did really well taking care of that. I like the way they conduct their business, and they're good at what they do.

Melanie C_2

They could have been more attentive to me and go above and beyond. I had to hire a cleaning service because she couldn't help me. Instead, she just did her homework. They need to improve the quality of their caregivers.

June C_4

They could hire help that is going to stay a while. They could have longevity with their caregivers.

Anonymous_303

It is not them, it is my medication. It is supposed to make it easier for me to walk, but I haven't felt the benefit of it in the last few months. The two nurses that I have had are very competent and compassionate.

Linda J_5

She is difficult. They need ask her about her expectations, so again with the communication. Their communication is terrible.

David _7

They do a lot of things I would have to do myself. We are both legally blind. They take care of him, keep him clean, are here on time, and they do a good job.

Alecia M

The first day, we had problems with the transfusion, but they were able to figure it out and get me my medicine. I had two different nurses who were very kind and good at their job.

Clemmie W

They have allowed her to feel more comfortable being home. I like the staff.

Ava _1

As far as the care went, it didn't work. It wasn't their fault, though. They couldn't have made it work. They did a great job, so I would recommend them. I felt like they really took good care of my dad. They made sure he was comfortable. They had excellent customer care.

Joan D_4

It has definitely helped my loved one stay at home. They've provided that level of care for him that other companies couldn't. Otherwise, he would be in a nursing home. They are easy to work with and accommodating. The care has been quality. They are professional and we've been very pleased with the care.

Cathy M_4

They have helped the most by being there for us. They are kind and considerate and know their job. They feel like family. She has saved my life. I have already recommended them. They are so worth the money.

Gertrude R_1

It helps my mom and dad a lot. They manage and help my mom. It makes the day go by smoother. So far, they have been reliable in maintaining the quality of people that come.

Anonymous_296

They were helpful, but it wasn't the quality we'd hoped for. In our experience, it didn't work out for us.

Shelley S

They take care of all staffing and if there are any issue, they take care of that and I don't have to do it. The owners and the administrators are hands on.

Matt C_2

They were able to do things that I couldn't do. They did a good job.

John

I used to have home care from BrightStar Care Springfield Decatur. I like this agency, they're well managed, and they take good care of me. They have good care overall and they helped me with bathing, dressing, and helped me walk around and helped get me in and out of bed. They have some good people, the nurses kept the meds straight, and they count them every day.

Sophia G

It allowed to me to go on vacation. There was some commutation difficulties at the beginning. Overall it was good though. They worked to right the problem.

Anonymous

They need to make sure that they are on time and if the caregiver can't show up that they get somebody else. Sometimes the caregivers don't show up.

Cathy S

They were able to give her a shot, so she was able to get back from the hospital earlier. We've used them twice now, so we went back to them. I knew the minute they walk through the door that they were trained.

Shirleen S

I have a back problem, so they help John and me. I have not had any complaints or any situations that I have had to call them about.

Susan S

It let us have some time without having to worry about doing other things. They were able to get my mom home when the other home care agencies weren't able to.

John F

They helped me by running errands and being available to be around. I like the upper management and I like the way they care and show me that they care.

Sue S

They could know what to do and help him. It just depends. Some of the people that have come at noon didn't know how to fix breakfast. The individual people are different.

Catherine S_5

They are always willing to do whatever we want them to do. It sure makes my life and my husband's life much easier. We've used them for a long time and have been very happy with them. They always try to do things they know we like and they take good care of us. We are going into assisted living soon and the hardest part will be not having BrightStar.

Gary M_4

The people that they sent out seemed to be capable of doing what I needed them to do and they were caring. They also made sure that we were scheduled properly. I used to give my wife care, but I recently had surgery, so I needed help.

Naima A

I am more than satisfied with my assistance and the quality of assistance is super. They take care of me.

Pat P

I have recommended them already. I like that they are typically accessible and are attentive when I call about what I need for my loved one. I haven't had a call that no one could come to. They are reliable. She can stay in her living situation. It allows her to stay in her apartment in a retirement home.

Eileen S_2

I've already recommended them. They always take care of everything. They call us if someone can't make it. A manager introduces new caregivers. She helps us get in bed, she does therapy with us, she cooks for us, and cleans the house.

Linda M

BrightStar Care provides a service that is hard to find in the area. I wish BrightStar Care was more consistent in who they sent to care for me. I had a new one almost everyday.

Geradine M

BrightStar Care is too expensive for a person my age, the last agency was cheaper then this. The caregivers of BrightStar Care do whatever I tell them and they are very nice to me.

JoAnn R

BrightStar Care's caregivers always showed up on time. James couldn't walk at all, so the caregiver that they sent was able to help him get out of bed. They allowed him to stay at home longer.

Phil M

I've already recommended BrightStar Care saying that if they are looking for additional care they should call them first. BrightStar Care made my life easier because there were extra hands to help us. It was essential having them here.

Stacy K

BrightStar Care is able to respond quickly to the needs of the person, they are very reliable. BrightStar Care has made my life easier by sending someone to sit with my mother over night, which means fewer phone calls for me at night. Also, I don't have to sit with her.

Carol L_6

BrightStar Care was dependable, very caring, and I could trust everyone there. BrightStar Care's services relieved my mind because I couldn't always be with my mother.

BrightStar Care is wonderful to me, is what I would tell a friend. I never forget my medicine, and I don't have to go though the pains of getting dressed.

Paula L_1

BrightStar Care has outstanding customer service. They make me feel at ease. They always made me feel like I am in capable hands. I had to have these infusions at home. The nurse that came to my home made me feel like I was under good care.

Sue_2

I would recommend BrightStar Care because the owners were extremely helpful, personable, and did everything they could to support us. All of their caregivers were well qualified, but we were having too many sent to us. BrightStar Care made life better by being there and being supportive of my father. They relieved me during the night so I could rest.

Marlene K

I would say that BrightStar Care has caregivers that are easy to get along with and very friendly. BrightStar Care has made my life easier because they take care of my mother and I don't have to worry.

BrightStar Care has been convenient and the people are easy to work with, as far as scheduling goes. BrightStar Care is the easiest way to get the client what he needs.
