BrightStar Care Indianapolis NW Indianapolis, IN

Cynthia _7

They have helped the most by giving me time to take care of other things. Day care is rated a 9, but night care is a 7. I would like to have them fill the slots when they send the schedule, or send out an updated schedule as they fill the slots. They only did that one week. Especially for something long-term and knowing who is new.

Michelle T_8

They do well, they are usually pleasant and proactive. I really liked the first person, but the second one wasn't great. There was a lot of miscommunication.

It frees the family up and gives us freedom to still do our jobs. I like that I'm able to talk to the people that make the schedule.

The caregiver was very nice, but there were just many incidents where things happened on her shifts. We have had some issues. The very first day they were supposed to be there they came very late. Family had to do the care.

They seem to be pretty helpful to my mom, but I'd like to see more consistent support. I'd like there to be a better quality of aid provided.

The person that they sent could have had more training with Alzheimer's people. I was working from home and still had to intervene and be available. They should have sent the same person each time.

Lori _2

They help most by providing the caregivers for us. The people that I have communicated with so far are really nice and compassionate.

Ma He

BrightStar was not right for our family. They could not provide consistent caregivers for our mom. They sent different people every day or so casing confusing for my mom and placing a burden on our family. Further, they bill clients for hours not worked. Several caregivers arrived late.

They made sure that eats and takes medication. Their communication goes above and beyond.

Anonymous_5033

They made it stress-free and we knew she was in good hands. I liked that they were able to keep the same caregiver everyday.

I had wrist surgery and I needed help. I am kind of handicapped right now. They are very helpful with anything that I need help with. Things will get done.

Anonymous_4261

They can train the aides or get aides that are willing to do the work. I think their aides should come on time and be there when they are supposed to be there. They should do the job they are paid to do.

She has helped me by being caring and knowing her field. I have the best nurse. If she can't be there she will call me or have the office call me and I really appreciate that.

Anonymous_4240

My mom has dementia and they couldn't get routine caregivers which was an issue. That impacted our family. Our family members had to come in to fill in for BrightStar. They need continuity in scheduling caregivers. They had a lack of consistency of the caregivers that they sent.

Michea

They worked around my schedule which was great. My nurse was absolutely amazing.

Junior C

I had a knee replacement, so it was hard for me to make my bed. I would ask them to do that. They would also ask me if I needed something from the store, so they were willing to help me in any way they could. They were genuine and honest. I had three different caregivers, and they were all excellent.

Ann M_20

They understand that consistency in care providers is very valuable to us. They could improve the communication between the management and me as his POA. They are supposed to call and tell me if I am going to get a different caregiver than the usual one, and they don't.

Vera R_3

The phone problem is so bad. There are people sitting on the phone. They don't want to do anything, and they get an attitude when I ask them to do anything. They need to tell me that the people are supposed to sign in on your phone when they come in. They tell the caregivers they don't have to do that. It causes a conflict between me and the caregiver.

Carolyn S_12

They need more consistency of the caregiver scheduling. I really like their communication and quality workers.

Jennifer A

They need better communication and more reliability. They should improve their communication.

Ann M_8

I can still work while caring for my mom. They listen to my needs, and they strive to meet them. They're responsive to my concerns.

Michael T_9

They can quit sending caregivers that steal things from me. They can send caregivers that don't fall asleep when they are here. They can act more concerned about my problems. I need to have easier contact with the local management.

Jeanette P_1

My caretakers are good. They come, show up, and they do their job. They could improve in communication.

Anonymous_33

I have cancer, and the lady who comes here takes care of my mother who is 95. That is hard to say because the lady who comes here is very efficient. The office staff is bad.

Wayne C

Some of the caregivers don't have common sense and they make me want to pull my hair out. I couldn't do anything if they didn't come at all though. They need to communicate better and hold people accountable for what they do and don't do.

Dorothy T_6

My loved one had to keep telling the caregivers what to do, and the caregivers wouldn't do a thorough job. The caregivers were frequently late, were not too reliable, were not proactive in their work, and the agency kept changing who the caregiver was. The caregivers didn't take any initiative to do things, and I think they needed more training.

Stayce R

I have a caregiver that knows what she's doing and allows me to be independent. I like that I was able to find a compatible caregiver who seems to want to work with me.

Beverly B_9

I work during the day. I could depend and rely on them to take care of my dad. They met my needs if I had a question. If they didn't know what to do about it, they got back to me about it.

Amanda _1

The only problems that we have had is getting my loved one their medication on time. I think the caregivers are pretty nice and take care of my loved one pretty well.

Dorothy M_14

They help me pick up my medicine and clean up the house. I like the caregivers. They are good workers.

Niccola G

It helps my husband and me overall. It gives me a break so I can do other things. It gives us time to do what we need and still gives my mother the care she needs. The caregiver is very responsible, arrives on time, and does what we ask and want. They seem like a nice person and they take good care of my mother.

Rebecca

They could have communicated. There's no communication with the staff inside the company. One does not know what the other is doing. BrightStar Care was better than all the other agencies that I looked at. It was only two weeks, so I didn't have them long enough to be able to be really satisfied with them.

Anonymous

When they send me somebody new, they need to introduce them to me and not just have them knock on the door. I keep getting different people, and my caregivers have health issues.

Susan M

It had no impact on my daily life. If we had consistent care that would have an impact. It has caused a lot of turmoil in the family. We have not had consistent caregivers. We have had a different caregiver every single time.

Dominick W

They take good care of my son. I feel comfortable with the nurses, and I don't have to check on them. They take the time to help the kids.

Cora S

They help me a great deal. I can't do a lot of things like bathing. The company is okay. They are helping me where I need it.

Becky S

They give piece of mind knowing that somebody is here since my dad is less movable. We could not move him without an additional person here. They could have more consistent caregivers in, they seem to be flip flopping a lot of people in and out. They need consistent caregivers.

Lucille S

I don't like the fact that when somebody is off or if they can't show up, I don't get a call. I'm left with no one. It's stressful. I don't know from day to day who is coming.

Jess F

They need to screen the caregivers before they send them to the field. They need to field their employees better. It seems there is a lack of training, or the caregivers are ignoring their training.

Cheryl D

I like the care, they make sure everything is in order. They could be more timely. The most helpful thing the caregivers do is get her prepared for the day.

Jackie C

I just had good help. Most all of the girls were very good and helpful. They were able to help me quite a bit. They would help me take a shower, get dressed, make meals, and get things for me. They did everything that I needed.

Carolyn S

There were two women who were wonderful, and the rest were marginal and one was just terrible for us. I would have liked the caregivers to follow the instructions that were written by BrightStar Care personnel.

Brenda B

BrightStar Care's aides are very caring and they go above and beyond. The aide I have from BrightStar Care gets me out and moving around. She gets me dressed everyday and takes me around town.

Norma S_6

I would recommend BrightStar Care because the caregivers are all nice. Having the caregivers has made life easier on me because they help braid my hair and warm up my food.

Arianne A_1

All of the administration was good, but the caregivers have not been great. This past week, we have found a good caregiver, but that is only one week.
