The girl was wonderful. When I would get there, she had him all dressed, his breakfast was ordered, his blinds were up, and he was very positive and ready to go for the day. They could have had a more competitive price. It seemed out of line. They were also so pushy about wanting me to do more, there seemed to be a lot of pressure, and we were under a lot of stress, so I did not find the pressure appropriate.

Anonymous_2170

We have been working with a different agency, and the woman that we had as an aide before was unbelievably good, but unfortunately, she had to leave because her mother was terribly ill. As we looked for a new person, I knew that no one would be as good as she was. The person that we have now is good, but she is not as good as our first caregiver. I cannot hold that against her since nobody is as good as Pat. I like their billing system.

I have not had to tell them that. I am very pleased with the services so far.

Cecile W

It would be difficult for me to find caregivers on my own without any kind of experience in doing that. I know it's the agency's responsibility to provide the caregiver, so I know that's one chore I don't have to deal with. They've been pretty good about finding caregivers, and sometimes on short notice they've done a good job as well. Overall, I would definitely recommend them.

I use their services a few days through the week and we have been able to have the same caregiver come in and that is very important. I have recommended people to BrightStar Care. They guarantee a good fit between the caregiver and my mother. If something doesn't work out, they make sure to send someone else.

Anne T

They're only doing maybe eight hours a week. We're looking for increased hours at this point as my parents' disease progresses. So we're trying to work that out financially and with BrightStar. I really like the caregiver that's working with my folks right now. She's very personable.

Carol _6
