Peter H_8

It is very convenient to have them at my house instead of having to drive to a doctor's office. All the nurses I have had done their job and been very kind.

Ruane C

I think the caregivers could start a bit earlier. The agency has been very nice and flexible.

Breanna G

The provider has helped the most by giving me comfort when I get worried. One thing i like about the agency is they are attentive and kind.

Jocelyn B_2

They were flexible. They went out of their way to help me in a difficult time, even when short-staffed.

They could be here on time so that they could help me out. I'm having a hard time because the caregivers don't come on time.

Robert E R

It has been a positive experience because of administering the medicine that I need. I would recommend them because of the care that I am receiving from Ashley.

Kimberly H_7

I like that they were helping me with showering. I thought the girls who've come in have been efficient and polite.

It hasn't changed his life, but it has helped me out. I'm satisfied with my aide.

Jessica _3

They have helped the most by dusting. The homemaker who comes is very timely, friendly, and respectful.

Mary L_71

They could not have done anything better, as they were wonderful. I would recommend the company because the workers are unbelievable, and the workers were hand-picked.

Rachel S_9

It makes his family members lives a lot easier. The attentiveness to the care has been amazing.

Karen V_15

Knowing there is someone is there to take care of my mom while I'm at work. I like them because the CNA is a perfect fit for my mom.

It's given us a chance to do something and not have to leave him alone and have to worry. It's given us peace of mind that he is being taken care of. I like the people that they have sent out.

The caregiver was good at providing the care we needed. She was really good at making sure that he was comfortable and not in pain. The aide was a good aide, we just needed her to focus on her job respect some boundaries.

Charlotte Wright

They provide great personal care and companionship. They are very good arriving on time. The aides at Brightstar Care are friendly, caring, professional and good listeners. They help you with things that you hadn't even though about. They are very likable. My daughter is very happy with the office communication, it has taken a burden from her. I am very pleased and thankful for their help.

Patricia F_17

Consistency matters to me and they have done that. The people that they have sent have been uniformly caring.

Maura T_1

They allowed me to go on vacation so I could get some time off. I really like that they are reliable, personable, and they communicate well with him and me. They did a good job.

Kranthi B

They have been really good at finding the right caregivers and the caregiver helps me a lot to get a break. They try to do their job really well.

Jinder B

They take care of all of her needs since she is nonverbal and bed-bound. They are very thorough and they all do a very good job. I feel that they are doing a very good job taking care of my mother-in-law.

Cheryl D_11

Just showing up has been great. So far, they are showing up.

Lucinda C

The services allow her to be home instead of in a nursing home. I like that everyone I've met are very professional and caring.

Carole J_3

It's not their fault because it's just my mom. They help shower her. I like that Wendy, the scheduler, communicates.

June A_5

She has been very healthy. I like the fact that they are thorough.

Terrence S

It helps with her daily hygiene. They are prompt. They are on time.

Suzanne W_2

This is my first time doing something like this. Meagan helps my husband who has Alzheimer's. They gave me Meagan, our caregiver, who is on time and see to our needs.

Casey C

Before I was getting care, I had a hard time getting out of bed because of my wound. It made my life difficult as a single dad. Cooking and laundry were nearly impossible. Their care has changed my life completely. They are dependable and very knowledgeable. They don't have a hard time helping you out.

Valerie A_3

I have to do this consistently, and it is a strain when the person doing it is not coming. The caregiver is consistent. I find them very easy to work with and friendly.

Alice E_3

It has made it a bit easier for me because I don't have to be with him all the time. They are also taking care of housecleaning so I don't have to take care of two houses. Most of the aides are very good. However, there are ones from time to time that are not great.

Donna W_11

They don't just do what they need to do, they talk to him and kid around with him. I like the communication that they have given us and effort to fill in hours.

Anonymous_4056

My loved one was at their end and they had a nice, comforting attitude. When I went to book the services, they were wonderful. They were compassionate, thorough, and I was very comfortable.

Dwight G_2

They have helped me the most in checking in on me and asking me what I really need. I like that the company is very attentive.

Eileen G

It really helped, I only had them 4 days. They helped us so we could sleep at night. I would definitely recommend them, the caregiver was out of this world, she was excellent.

Marilyn D_2

I've started feeling a lot better now that I've been receiving my iron infusions. I'm able to do things I wasn't able to do before. My nurse is wonderful. She's very friendly.

Alessandra S

Often times I felt like I would give specific instructions to the person that was in charge of the aide and the aides wouldn't get those specific instructions. They really made an effort to keep placing people.

Matthew C

They could have been more considerate, and have better communication. I had called the company and talked to the vice president and the owner of the franchise and nothing was ever really resolved.

Anonymous_3755

They come consistently and I'm really grateful that they're hanging in there. I don't know if they can improve their services. Occasionally we have someone exceptional, but it's usually just average workers. They could maybe just use more training.

Karina C_1

They provide a service that us family members can't do. The communication and staff is good.

Anonymous_2190

I'm comfortable with the nurses that come to see me. I like that they are flexible in the scheduling.

Anonymous_3509

It was just situational so there was not a lot for the person to do. We were able to obtain care so quickly. The flexibility and that they didn't have a sales push.

Anonymous_3304

The nurse is flexible fits our schedule. She is excellent. The nurse has been excellent to us.

Nancy_2

It allows our family members to take my dad out for the day, without having to worry about the laundry or cleaning. It also allows my dad to have company and someone to converse with. We like the fact that we can work with them and get a consistent aide.

Sandra M_3

The most helpful thing is doing my IV infusions. I've gone eleven weeks without being sick. I have no problems, and everything is perfect.

Mitch H

If they can't make an appointment, they should call the night before. They do a nice job, and the communication is good.

Anonymous_2761

They helped her the most by doing basic needs. She is very immobile and can't easily feed herself. There were some people that were very good, and there were some that we not so good.

Cynthia (

It is very helpful. I have to run a dance studio, and my mother is 100, so she can't help. He changes him, cooks meals for him, and will put something on for him. He does all that he is supposed to do, but it would be nice to have him clean up more and get the laundry done. We definitely need him. We only have one person now from BrightStar that knows what he is doing, but he leave a lot of things undone. For example, my brother is bed-bound, so if anything spills, it stays on the floor. The aides that come the next day have to clean it up.

Carol D_14

It makes a big impact because I can get out of the house once in a while and get a rest from the drudgery of day and night duties for him. I have had bad experiences, but mostly good ones. Most of the caregivers are very good.

LAURIE M

It allows them to stay in their home. They are flexible. The people they send are good with my parents.

Pattie H

The services have allowed my mother stay in the home and be reasonably independent. They are efficient, responsive, and professional.

Robert B_34

They have given her companionship. I would like if they had more staff.

Anonymous_2277

We get the caregivers used to their surroundings. They are a major plus for my wife and I. We have two different caregivers. They are easy to get along with.

Patti S

All of us were working, but we needed to do a blood sugar reading three times a day, so the agency made it very easy for us to get my mother's diabetes control. They were able to perform the tasks that we asked them to do. They made the experience extremely easy for us as a family in regards to caring for my mother's diabetes. They kept journals that the family was able to see.

Tracy S_4

I need the infusion to create a protein that my liver does not generate to help my lungs. I had one nurse the entire time, and she is a really great person. It is nice to see her every week.

Anonymous_2071

They are doing what they are supposed to be doing. They can take my mom out of the house and bring her to where she wants her to go. They take her to the gym in the morning and the mall at night.

Anonymous_1947

They need to improve their consistency and communication. They could improve consistency of the visiting hours.

John M_4

They need to have their people take more training. It would help a lot if they had more training. I have to show them everything and they send too many people out here at once. They need to have follow-up. They need to have staff training.

John R_20

What they could do is come assist with more of the plan for the health care. Sometimes they are unsure of what to actively do with my brother, or who they are working with. I have given ideas but constant reminders and making sure they are prepared would be helpful. We are using them for memory care and they don't seem to have a grasp on Alzheimer's or what is entailed with it.

Nancy M_2

I don't know how they could make things easier. I am very independent. I think they did what I asked them. They were not allowed to give my loved one their medications, and I did not care for that. I used them on a couple different occasions, and we liked the aides assigned. They did very well with my loved one.

Helen M_14

It was a good relief knowing that I didn't have to be around. I couldn't have been there 24/7. As soon as she called and told them she needed somebody, they were there the same day.

Anonymous_1271

Some of the caregivers did things that they shouldn't have done. They showed up, but the caregivers didn't always know what they needed to do.

Anonymous_1146

They help the most by making sure that we get the monthly injections that we need. I like that they are friendly to us.

Umesh R

I am now able to go out at my will. I don't have to wait for someone to take me out or plan my activities around other people. I like the follow-up that the caregivers do and the timeliness.

Kirk S

They should consistently have the same caregiver. They should expect a different caregiver each time.

Gene S_2

They send the caregivers and they come on time. We would like to have the maximum week's schedule through email done by Friday.

Jennifer N

They could have taken care of my mother 100 percent. They were able to come to the house and help me with my mother. When they were available they were very helpful.

Michael M_1

She is able to do things for herself, she just needs someone there to assist her. They have helped her the most by cleaning. I like that they are good with communication.

Sharon H_7

I can't keep my home the way I want it by myself. I do what I can, and my caregiver does the rest. My caregiver cleans the things that I ask her to thoroughly. She will do anything that I ask her to.

Melanie P

My spine is out and they help me a lot. They are very good.

Joyce T

The provider could have a greater impact by them providing me a caregiver to come to me every week. A negative experience I've had is that they cannot provide me with a person to come and they don't understand the problem.

William A

Prior to that, we had to stay up with my loved one for the night. Now they provide service through the night so we can sleep. They offer quality care and are very patient.

Anonymous

My loved one has a home-maker come in and helps with their cleaning. The one thing that I would improve on is scheduling.

Chuck B

Sometimes, they are understaffed and when one of the regular caretakers cannot make it in they have a problem finding a back up. They could have more trained staff available.

Connie W

I don't have to rush home from work because I know someone is there to take care of my mom. They were able to find a nice caregiver for my mom that she liked relatively quickly.

Emilia V

They did everything they could do in their power to help out with our needs. The services helped me in ways I cannot explain.

Roberta C

There are not enough nurses and when they say they are coming, they don't. My caregiver is always on time and is able to make me comfortable.

Jennifer M

They were very helpful, professional, and very detail-oriented. They worked around my schedule and were flexible when I needed them to be.

Dean F

It is good to have someone here from BrightStar Care to count on. They have made life easier because my husband has dementia so it keeps him occupied and gives me a break.

Bernard M

The caregiver we have from BrightStar Care is very competent, helpful, and polite. The services from BrightStar Care have made life easier by providing care for my ill husband, which has been helpful for me.

Bertha G

I would recommend BrightStar Care because it's somebody to help clients. BrightStar Care has helped me because I have to have people give me rides to go to the senior center, the post office, the bank, and shopping.

Anonymous

BrightStar Care does well because they try to get the caregivers here on certain days but sometimes I have to wait to get a caregiver. BrightStar Care has given me caregivers that I have had some problems with. I had to get rid caregivers before. Then I had to do the work all by myself.

Geraldine K

BrightStar Care needs to find the right person for us, a caregiver with the experience that we need. Their staff could be better. BrightStar Care's services need to be provided by caregivers with greater capability and greater experience. We need more hours than we have.

Theresa D

BrightStar Care has given me wonderful success. BrightStar Care makes life easier because I work so many hours and they make sure my mom is cared for.

Henry B_3

BrightStar Care sent caregivers that weren't really trained. I was told they were trained, but didn't see much training to deal with our needs with Parkinson and dementia. It didn't seem like the caregivers ever wanted to do cleaning. I also had some money missing from our house.

Ed T_2

I wasn't too happy with the caregiver that BrightStar Care sent me because I had to keep telling her to do thing over and over. However, I cannot criticize the company over the one caregiver that didn't do her job. I totally depended on my caregiver to do things that I cannot do myself.

Virginia C_6

I would recommend BrightStar Care because they have great staff, and they are wonderful for me. If I ask the caregivers to do something, they do it without question. Having the caregivers from BrightStar Care has made life a lot easier on my wife and I.

Jim M_8

BrightStar Care has been very good to us so far. The caregiver will help my mom with her medication and showers.

Mike M_5

BrightStar Care does their job, and they know what they are doing. We have three caregivers right now, and they are all conscientious, and will jump in to do the work even when mom is asleep. BrightStar Care gives me some time off from caring for mom. They are there since mom can't be alone.

Dorothy E

I am less likely to recommend BrightStar Care because the caregiver has not been doing their work correctly. I had to complain because the caregiver was doing crafts and scarfs at the table and not helping my mother. This week the caregiver did do the homemaking tasks such as changing the bedding. Everything was done when I came home this week. The caregiver could make a more positive impact by changing the bedding, cleaning the bathroom, helping with the dishes, and making dinner when I am not here.
