    The caregiver only helps one day a week, but it helps a lot. The caregiver helps the client's around-the-clock caregiver. She can leave early in the morning and come back, and we know that she is well taken care of. I like that they're easy to deal with, they have easy billing, and they have good communication. Right now, we have a very good person.

    We found someone who picks up every single shift. The caregivers, Myra and LaToya, are wonderful, but some of the other ones were kind of lazy. The previous ones were always late and never on time. They also didn't make the client feel comfortable. Prior to finding an individual at the agency that is now covering all of the client's shifts, there were multiple call-out's every single week. The client has care 7 days a week and there were call-outs 2 to three times every shift.

    They were very patient with her. She often would be hard to find, so they were super patient to take the time to find her in her nursing home and get her where she needed to be. They could have improved because I would've preferred a caregiver that was consistent. My mom has dementia, and it would've been better to have the same person come every day.

    It was a complex series of events, but they've been very helpful in helping my father. They hear the families concerns and needs and they go above and beyond to help their clients. They've given me good nurses and they were always available. I was able to meet the owner and the scheduler. They care about their clients and the caregivers.

    We depend a lot on them to have someone here all the time, and there are so many instances when things don't go right. I'd like a more permanent caregiver. The CNAs are not trained enough. They need more training, especially the females who don't seem to know how to clean other females. It takes two people to get my mom up in bed, and it seems like BrightStar can't do it on their own.

    The only thing they did was to be at home with my husband. Early on some people took him on a drive, but they stopped. The main problem was the turnover in caregivers. Every day was a different person. They would promise someone and someone else would come. Some people barely spoke English. We saw many many care providers. There was no consistency and the price was extremely high, even the highest in the market for the area.

    It frees us up from having to be the only ones who can take her out, and it alleviates us from having to schedule that time. We do other things with her, but it is a scheduling convenience for us. It makes her happy to go out, go shopping, and have her for four hours every week. Administratively, it was easy to set things up for Emily. They are the only company that provides transportation.

    We are dealing with the patient, so it's not my daily life. Since we hired the CNA, my life is a lot easier, so I don't have to go out every day. I really appreciate the people from the office staff. It depends. They have so many different caregivers, some are so qualified and some are not. The staff has to communicate more with the main office. They need more training and to have some people that are more willing to help out. It's difficult because they have to be willing to help other people.

    There was a language barrier between my loved one and one of the caregivers.

    Recently my mother became a hospice patient and we turned to BrightStar for help with her 24/7 care. We had several good ladies that came to our house to help with my mom; however, 2 ladies stick in my mind, Kathy C and Patricia L were absolute angels for my family. Their attention paid to my mother was absolutely amazing. They took their time to spend it sitting with my mom and going over and above to make sure not only she but my family was taken care of. Their kindness and attentiveness put our minds at ease when we knew that they were with her. I was actually able to get a few hours sleep when I knew they were there because I knew my mom was getting the best care. Thank you to these 2 ladies does not even come close to telling them how much we appreciated everything they did for us. I can only hope that BrightStar is lucky enough to get a few more people like these 2 ladies. I also hope that Brightstar does something to recognize these ladies because they sure do deserve it. My mother ended up passing at the beginning of December and I ran into Kathy today, one of the first things she said was that she was so sorry to hear of my mom's passing and what a wonderful woman she was. It really touched my heart that she remembered me without having to be reminded who my mom was. I sure hope that Brightstar and recognize these 2 ladies because it was an absolute pleasure to work with both of them.
