shapes how she listens — to what a family truly needs, not just what's on the chart.

OUR STORY
BrightStar Care of Needham/Brookline is a family business built on family experience. Owners
Bruno and Olivia Ferrari are proud parents of four children, and having grandparents live at
home shaped how they understand care and dignity. Olivia's own journey began as hands-on care
staff, founding Joyfully Giving to serve elderly clients directly. Bruno brings a background in
business operations and human resources, having led recruiting and training as Chief People
Officer for a manufacturer scaling from 500 to 1,000 employees. Together, that blend of
personal experience and professional expertise is what led them to partner with BrightStar Care.
