BrightStar Care Saint Louis, MO

It's only one day a week they come. They need to teach the people that come to be able to talk to my husband and not to just come and sit.

I have been improving. They have helped with my exercises and I am not in so much pain. I like that they do a good job and show up when they are supposed to. We also do my exercises.

They help me with moving from the wheelchair to the bed and walker. Before they came, no one could help me move, now it is much easier for me. They can spend more time with me because I am in a wheelchair and can't exercise myself.

They have been very helpful. My mother has had a hearing problem and it took us a while to realized she needed a cochlear implant but she couldn't communicate well. When new people come in it is very good and it stimulates her to have to talk to them and it has improved her communication skills a great deal. She is alert a lot more now than she was before. I can reach people on the phone pretty easily and if someone is going to be late or there is any unforeseen thing they take care of it.

They take me shopping so that my nieces don't have to go with me. I always ask for a certain caregiver because she is absolutely wonderful. She takes me to the doctor, shopping, and gets all of the things off of the shelf for me. I couldn't ask for a better caregiver.

She helps me every day in every way. She is extremely helpful. The woman I have is excellent. I never have a problem because she's kind and gentle. She is reliable, she knows him, and she takes care of him well.

They were able to provide 24 hour care for my mother-in-law when we were not able to. They need to have consistency in the caregivers.

It allows my loved one to stay in their home. This service allows them to do that. I have already recommended them. My sister has emailed and talked with a lot and tried to arrange the care that my parents need. We are moving a step up on the care.

It is a relief to have someone here for my loved one so I don't worry about them. The caregiver does light housework so I don't have to do it. BrightStar Care came out to our home to learn about my loved one and to find someone. The caregiver that works with my loved one is a very good fit.

One issue I had was that we had a caregiver come late on two different occasions. However, most of the caregivers are very nice and capable. Even though the caregivers were there with my father, I still worried. I also worried about if there were even caregivers there.

I think their biggest problem is the type of people that they hire. Even though I know they offer them training, they didn't have a very good work ethic. They just didn't deliver what they promised. When we did get someone to come and do what they were supposed to, it did work out. There were so many situations that we had to explain things. It wasn't worth it.

They are a reliable company. It gives me less worry and stress.

In our case, they have been fairly attentive and we were able to call them at any time and usually it will be addressed quickly. I would say that they tend to be more caring than a lot of the others have been. They are more involved with her, just with keeping my mom active and engaged, and they have been striving to do that.

My mom likes the caregiver, and they are accommodating to our schedule, which makes things easier. My mom doesn't call me as much when they are there. They do things for my mom that I had to do for her, so it has lightened my burden.

I have been happy with the caregivers from BrightStar Care. They have taken care of my mother all the time so my sister and I don't have to worry.

I would tell a friend that BrightStar Care is very attentive to my needs. BrightStar Care has made life easier by doing different things for me such as helping me to dress.

The only reservation I have is that BrightStar Care's service area is in the St. Louis area. The caregivers are very attentive and BrightStar Care makes sure that they keep a consistent and set amount of caregivers coming in because George is an Alzheimer's patient and needs routine.

BrightStar Care worked for our family situation. It fit for us because they were very flexible. BrightStar Care provided care when the family couldn't.
