BrightStar Care NW Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, PA

Malikka F

She really likes the caregiver, so I am happy. I would like more available caregivers.

Tamika G_2

I love that they check up on my wellbeing. They give prompt responses.

Anonymous_7498

It's very erratic and frustrating. If they are within the city limits I would probably recommend, I'd like to see them send somebody, they don't have anybody to meet my needs.

Elisa E

They keep sending good workers and are well-trained. They have provided staff that shows up and provide backup.

Tracy S_7

I had to do more work on my part. I would because the quality of the caregiver is not consistent.

Lagritta W

They were through with coming to their assessments and when I first hired them, they came to visit me a few times. I like that they are pleasant, and informative, and have training sessions for their employees. They were prompt in having my care transferred over. They are better than the other agencies I used.

Anonymous_7283

It is helping me get things done. It was a long process getting everything started and there were some misunderstandings.

Neil K_1

They provided the care I need. They are friendly.

Mark H_22

They are only here twice a week, and they are busy. I do chit-chat with them. They do the job quickly. I know my mother has some issues with folding clothes, but I am fine with it.

Bethe O_1

They help me exist since I can't move anything from the neck down. I like the staff and how considerate and thorough they are.

Steve R_12

They help me go to the flea market to set things up. I like the caregiver that I have.

Janice B1-PD-CG- K

The caregiver she had was lovely and helpful, but could have been a little more aggressive as far as getting her to do certain things. I like that they were responsive when I had questions or concerns.

Anonymous_6255

They need to be more reliable. They just can't seem to keep employees. They don't get people out when they're suppose to so my mother hasn't been showered on multiple occasion.

Janina K

They just go out of their way to be pleasant and make things easy for me. They are very pleasant people and everyone that I deal with has been professional.

Michael M_63

The provider was available when our family couldn't take care of my uncle. BrightStar was able to be flexible with my uncle and family's schedule.

Mark S_33

The services provide structure around her day. I like the responsiveness and the flexibility. They met my needs.

Michael D_19

They make life easier by helping me do things that I can't do for myself. They are professional in their job.

Maria _4

They were responsible. They were better than our current agency is sometimes. I'd tell a friend that they were able to help me and that they made a special effort which was nice because they made a special effort to hire people.

Kenda S

The service is terrible. BrightStar could train their people better. I would like to see everything improved. BrightStar is terrible. The management team is terrible. They don't communicate with you. They are terrible.

Anonymous_5420

It enables me to do the things that I need to do. They have a quick response.

Mico B1-U-CGL-18 C

The caregivers vacuumed and cleaned. The ladies were easy to talk to.

Laura M_25

My caregiver meets all of my needs. They try to make sure that I always have an aide.

Timothy M_1

When they show up it makes a drastic difference to help me. They cannot get me any aides.

Anonymous

They do cleaning for me. I have no problems with them and their caregivers are consistent.

Anonymous_3797

The caregiver keeps her engaged. Anytime someone can't come, they don't get a replacement.

Loretta K_1

I have no complaints, everything was exactly like I wanted to. My grandaughter did my work exactly like I wanted her to.

Stephen H_5

They listen to me. I like that they stay as long as they are needed.

Bowling N

I am not sure what they could improve on, but they really tried getting me a quality caregiver. I would like them to improve on training the employees the about the importance of doing a job.

Patty C_6

She's perfect. She does everything for my dad. The person that comes helps daily and is very nice.

Sharon F_6

They sent someone to clean. They came and helped me.

Wanda B_7

The caregivers that I have do excellent work. The company needs to notify me when a caregiver can't come.

Barbara C_39

They help me with stuff I can't do by myself. They are great to work with and the staff is updated.

Walter H

The most helpful part of the care is the fact that I get along so good with the caregiver. It is a pleasure to work with them. I like that the caretaker has been with my for about six years.

Carol B_24

I am really happy with them. They have helped the most in helping around the house. I like the caregiver that they have found for me.

Denise W_2

They can train their people better, they can find people that have pride in their work. They need to work on their communication, and their training.

Anonymous_3948

As I said, have more available caregivers, I wanted more care but no one is available. Have more availability of caregivers.

Mildred M_3

They are filling my schedule now, but there have been a few times where I go without service for a few days. They need to get me the help that I need when I need it.

Susan H_42

They have helped the most in providing consistent care for me. I like that there is a lot of communication from the company.

Norma V_1

I wouldn't be here without my caregiver. BrightStar Care was willing to hire my daughter to take care of me. I wouldn't have anyone else. The caregivers do a good job and they couldn't be better.

Robert B_35

They should hire good quality people and keep them long enough to actually support their clients. I know the director has been filling in because they don't have enough caregivers. Right now, I am not getting the full time of care that I need, and that is not OK. I am supposed to have them every day for a few hours and right now I am getting them maybe one day a week. They do not have a reliable service.

Raymond B4-U-CGL-21 J_1

They always take tasks and ask if they can help me in any other ways. The people that work for them seem to be pretty good people. I appreciate them being here every day that they are supposed to be here. I do not see any faults on anything. I have not had any complaints with them. The people I deal with are real good. Anything I need, if I have a problem with something, they take care of it for me.

Carmen M_1

I've had some problems with staffing and I don't know if the office is supposed to come out and handle problems, but they haven't. I had one person who left the company who would come out when I didn't have any help. I've been left a few times by myself when they couldn't find any help, especially on weekends. The caregivers are down-to-earth, try hard to please me, and I'm happy with who I have.

Robert A_16

They help me with bathing. They have quality aides.

Linda L_16

It's really helping me out because I live so far away so my neighbors can't help me. The girl I have now is great.

Donna C_5

The most helpful part was during the work. She was very good with my mom and explained everything she was doing. The weekend coverage was poor. One person never showed up and didn't call. When we called about it they didn't get back to us for a while. The Sunday caregiver did very minimal. The weekly care was the same person and she was great.

Judy B4-C-CGL-6 H

It's been okay. They could do errands for me. I like how they like to help people do the things that they need to do.

Donna L_14

They help care for my mom, like talk to her and they do what they're supposed to do. I like that all of the staff is really nice.

Scott B_10

When they show up, they are average. They can make it easier by doing what they say will by coming out and not overcharging. They can improve a lot, because they don't send people. The billing is so confusing, because they were supposed to be charged $100 per day, but one time, they billed my parents $1100 for a day.

Daniel S_1

They do things that I can't do myself. Their services are good.

Beverly C_7

They keep in good contact and match me well. They keep my place clean. I like that they made a good match with the people that take care of me.

Carol C_21

She helps and does everything for me. I would recommend them because I love the girl I have.

Sharon C_7

My loved one likes to do things on her own. She wants to have more steady aides, since they help her with bathing. My loved one would like to see a steady aide instead of so many different ones.

Anonymous_2759

They finally sent me a good aide. When they first started, I wasn't getting satisfaction out of them.

Martin _1

They could have been more supportive and willing to do certain things. I have a brain injury, so I repeat myself. I don't need to be told that I am repeating myself, because it's frustrating enough as it is. I didn't have any independence, and my wishes weren't recognized.

Anonymous_2858

The most important thing for me was just getting help, and they couldn't do that. They couldn't keep the caregivers here.

Jennie B_1

They are dependable. It can be frustrating being as old as I am without one call. They are stable. Whenever I pick up the phone with a need, they help me.

Frances V

I am 85 years old, and it's kind of hard for me to run the sweeper and go to the store. They help me with that. I like them because I have had them for about three years.

Mary L_17

The services allow me to get to the store and do some grocery shopping. They're on time and concerned, and they make sure to get back to me if I have any questions.

Karen A_8

They help me with my seasonal cleaning. When my caregiver has to take time off, they should find someone else to come that day or that week instead of leaving me without service.

David B4-U-CGL-20 C

They are outstanding. I like the staff of BrightStar Care.

Estella L

She does what I ask her to do. The communication needs to be improved.

SherylG

The caregivers could receive more experience before starting the job. They definitely need more training. We need more communication between the agency and the caregivers.

Nancy B_21

They could of made my life easier by having a caregiver that knew how to take care of a disabled 80 year old. I would like for them to improve by having people that know how to clean instead of a high school girl that doesn't know anything.

Margaret P_3

After 15 years of being the primary caregiver, it gives me the opportunity to go out and do some things. They matched up the people with the client, and when I need additional help, they are responsive.

Thelma B4-U-CGL-56 R

They help me out the most by getting me caregiver that I want and making sure that they treat me right. I like them because the coworkers are really nice and will talk nicely to you on the phone. They will satisfy my needs when I need something.

Suzanne S_10

They impact my life because I am not getting help. They need someone in here who can work three days a week, will come to work when they are supposed to, and do the job they are supposed to do. They don't have people that come in that want to work. The people in the office that I have talked with seem to be pretty good. They need to do better hiring and screen their future employees better. They need good references.

Lynn S_10

They should do what they said they were going to do, and do their job. They need to communicate better to the caregiver what is needed. They need to communicate. They promised me a weekly report and I have not received one. They do not communicate with the caregiver. They have left pills out that he could have taken because he has Alzheimer's.

Sally F_1

They get me to the store and to the doctor. They are nice and friendly.

Anonymous_900

They should hire more dependable people. I have good care and bad care from BrightStar Care.

Lisa S

It helps me sufficiently. It has helped me feel like I'm wanted. A lot of my family seem like they don't want me around. They are very friendly, prompt, and kind. My worker is always nice and will do anything I ask them to do.

Anonymous_2003

They could make my life easier by making the caregivers get along better. I like the caregivers. They are compassionate and do a good job.

Lillian _2

He is in good shape, he just has a disability. I am not well myself. I just do what I can to help him. They are all nice people when I call in.

Lynn B4-C-CG-15 S

The services help me out a lot. They assist me when I have trouble. The caregivers have been friendly and are usually here on time.

Michael O_6

I was in the hospital, and the agency did their best to make sure that someone was here with my husband. Our caregiver has been excellent. She fits right in. She could be one of my daughters.

Cleo H_2

There are things I wouldn't be able to do without my caregiver. They keep me in my apartment. The caregiver is dependable.

Louis H_1

I am doing very well thanks to their help. They make everything run smoothly. I like that they are always very attentive to my needs.

Leonard S_5

It was life changing. It was a weight lifted from me. They were so compassionate and became like a part of the family.

Glenda R_2

Their personality and everything has been so awesome. I know it's their job to do, but they are really helpful with me. I have to have a walker and when I go to the doctor, I have to be in a wheelchair and they are so helpful.

Patricia M_17

It's had a huge difference in helping my mom stay in her home independently. Some of the people don't stick around too much so they could have better screening.

Anonymous_1636

Even though the individuals were here, it didn't help me as much as I thought it was going to. I thought there would be more impact, but it wasn't as impactful as I thought. I'm not absolutely sure. I'm not dissatisfied with one or two individuals. They fired one bad person. They need to lower their rates.

Johanna

They're there to take good care of my mother, when we cannot be there. The staff that we have now is friendly and punctual. They're very good with my mother.

Christine A_2

They needed to provide me with more experience driving a safe vehicle. They need to hire more office staff.

Kristie K

I was giving 24/7 care to my mother, so they have relieved some of the burden from me. I like that real people answer the phone right away, and I like the quality of the caregivers.

Judith B_4

I couldn't get feedback. If I have to go to the doctors or I need a prescription, they take me.

Lisa K

They do make my life easier. When I called them and asked them if I could come back they said yes and they let me provide my own caregiver after the one they sent didn't work out. The first caregiver I had would call off, leave early, and say she was working when she really wasn't. She didn't do much, she was just smoking cigarettes. The caregiver I have now does really well.

Laurie L_1

They could send the same caregiver to the same patient instead of sending various others. They could have more staff on call

Dennis C_1

It would help if they would show up when they are supposed to. They need to notify me when they don't show up.

Anonymous_1511

I feel like they need to figure out their company, but they help me, so I don't have to figure everything out myself. There is a lot that needs to be improved. I think they should pay their employees more so there are not a lot of call offs.

Barbara C_17

See that they do what they are supposed to do. They could check in and see what they are supposed to do.

Pamela D_7

She is here, and I need somebody. I like when she says she is going to be here at a certain time because she means that she will be here at that time.

Drucilla S

They help me clean up my home. They are friendly and so nice to me. They help me out.

Doris H_12

They wanted to change our caregiver, and my sister had to fight to keep her.

Audrey S_1

She does what I want her to. I can't get around by myself. I like my caregiver.

William S

They help her in her everyday living so that she can move and do things. She does pretty well for herself. They are honest and clean.

Dorothy B4-U-CGL-28 L

My caregiver was great. When she came in I made her a card and wrote her a note. They are dependable.

Tracie C_1

They take care of my mother so that I don't have to. They could have more employees available for care.

Margaret K_1

The caregivers were able to do what I needed and things that I couldn't do for myself, but the caregiver wasn't always doing what I needed her to do. I was satisfied with the services that I had received from them. There was just one caregiver I didn't appreciate. The caregivers helped me in some ways that I couldn't help myself.

Tracy _1

It makes my life easier because they are able to do things around the house when I can't do them. The caregivers pay attention to the needs of their clients. They are friendly when I call into the office.

Scott H_3

They can have people who actually seem to enjoy their jobs. We have only had one who seems to enjoy what they do. They seem to be very disorganized, especially with having quality people that are coming to our home.

Robert F_8

If I need anything, they will get it for me. I like that they help me, and they are good to me.

Abbas N

Nothing serious has happened, and they answer our questions. They really care for the clients and the caregivers.

Mehri K

They help me a lot. Whenever I ask them questions they are ready to help. They do a nice job. The first few hours costs less than the other hours.

Emily H

It has provided me with a few hours of personal time. The biggest positive is that the caregiver meshed with my daughter, and she took the time to get to know her.

Sara

There needs to be more communication between caregivers and the client. She needed that interaction. I think there was a lack of communication between employees and management about time off and when they were quitting.

Barbara F_2

They need to know how to talk to a brain injured person, even though she's intelligent. They sit and play on their phones all the time. They don't help carry her plate and she uses a cane. The aide was over an hour late and then they clocked out early. They can learn to call when they're going to send an aide out and when they're going to be late.

Patty D

If it had worked out, it would be been great, and it would've allowed me to keep working. But it didn't work because we couldn't get enough hours. I was very satisfied with the care that was provided. The caretaker that we had was very conscientious, calm, and knowledgeable.

Kim

She does alright and she cooks well. They are much more convenient than the other service. My caregiver cooks for me and takes me places.

Stacey B

They have made life easier by having someone here that I can trust. BrightStar Care could improve on their communication.

Emma S

They have been very caring and kind. They are very personable.

Sandy B

The caregiver is very attentive towards her and does everything that she needs. They are great. The caregiver that they sent us is wonderful.

Willie S

I have been staying around and training the people that come around. I am still around most of the time because it is a new service. I don't want to leave them alone with my husband until they and I are comfortable. BrightStar Care is fairly new to me. I have only been with the company a couple of weeks. I don't have much of an opinion one way or another.

Anonymous

They do everything that my loved one is unable to do for himself. They could have a more reliable staff. They're coordinators are really nice to work with.

Esther J

They come and take care of things so I don't have to. They have very friendly people who come and do what they're supposed to do.

James B1-A-CG-49 S

The way things are doing right now things are going well. They don't need to do anything. They just need to get their act together.

Richard U

They help me get to appointments and go shopping. The agency is pretty efficient and they help me get to my appointments.

Nancy _1

My mother was in assisted living and we wanted to get her home, but the only way we could do that was with significant care at home. I feel like the care has been good, but the communication from the main office is poor.

Gavin B1-NA-RN-6 L

We had them for a few years, and we had no communication. There was no one to call and get updated information how we were going. There was no notice that there's no one to cover the infusion. They gave us life saving infusion throughout the week.

Helen N

The people in the office are very helpful. If I need any supplies, they make sure I get them. Before I started with BrightStar Care, it was hard for me to do things for myself. I got a lot of help from my aide. When she came in, she cleaned and if I needed something cooked, the aide did what she was supposed to do.

Lawrence B1-C-CG-63 C

They have quality caregivers. They are very good and very dependable. I couldn't live as I do without BrightStar's help. The caregiver has her own routine. She cleans the bathroom, does the floors, and does the dusting.

Anonymous

I do not feel that their company is very organized. I have good service now because they are doing a lot more things for me. We have caregivers and they do a good job.

Elizabeth B4-C-CG-40 Z

I think they need to do better with their communication between them, their employees, and the clients. They make life easier by supplying someone to watch the client. It has settled down and is going much better now.

Joanne V

BrightStar Care sent me a young lady that is very good at what she does. She is very concerned, helpful, and caring. She's great. When she first came, she made a list of things I would like her to do and things I liked. As we grew together, she's taken on even more. She adds to her plate for me.

Nancy B1-U-CGL-18 B

Somebody sat here doing nothing through a six hour shift. All they did was take out the trash and get the mail. I asked one when it snowed to shovel, and they said it wouldn't do any good. She watched YouTube videos during her shift. One was really bossy and broke the cabinets. Most of the time, it was a waste of my time. If they would have done a little bit more, it would have been better. Some did the best they could.

Jason B1-NA-RX-RN-VT J

He doesn't have any problems with them. They're good with him, and they give him his shot. They know what they're doing. They give him his shots, and he can't do it to himself. They're pretty good at letting us know what's going on.

Louise K

My caregiver is fantastic. She makes my life so much better. I have someone I can depend on come to help me.

Josephine B4-U-CGL-30 S

They're punctual and courteous, and they take good care of the client.

Flora B4-C-CG-30 T

I like that I have the same caregiver every day, that is important to me. It has made my life better but giving me more incentive to do more for myself.

Emily A

BrightStar Care provides me excellent caregivers and I like that the office calls ahead to tell me a different caregiver will be coming. The caregivers help me as if they really want to help me and are caring.

Deborah A H

The caregivers are real nice, and they do a good job. My family can't always be here to help me, so they've been a lifesaver that way.

Susan R

I get a quick response back from BrightStar Care if I have any questions. At least the helper I have is really good. I need care with everything I do during the day. I really couldn't function without BrightStar Care.

Nancy B4-C-CG-40 R

I would tell others that BrightStar Care has been able to help me with everything. The service gives me help with things around the house.

Anonymous

BrightStar Care has lot of good, but the office will get upset if I come to them with problems. The caregivers are needed for my loved one. They help my loved one get up, do their laundry, and go about the day.

Mary Jane G_1

The caregiver that I have now is great, but there have been others in the past that I did not get along with. The caregiver helps me out a lot, asks me what I need, and doesn't just sit there on their phone.

Kimberly B1-W1-CGL-20 B

I wouldn't recommend BrightStar Care to anyone because they don't tell their client's about the services. BrightStar Care didn't help because my caregiver didn't do what I needed done.

Anonymous_209

I would recommend BrightStar Care to others because I feel it is good that BrightStar Care is available to help people. BrightStar Care has had a good impact on life because, even though I've only had a couple of caregivers, things have been good. Thanks to them, I have been able to get out more, drive around, and shop for groceries.

Terry B1-W2-LN-112-S F_1

I would not recommend BrightStar Care because one caregiver is not so good. BrightStar Care has twice tried to get me into a nursing home and I do not appreciate that. BrightStar Care is trying to put me in a home and I am not happy with that.

Frances B1-W2-CGL-33 B_1

BrightStar Care is always on time and does what they need to do. BrightStar Care always does what I ask them to.

Theresa B1-W1-CGL-56 Q

BrightStar Care needs to be on the same page with me and needs to do training questions for all of their caregivers. My caregiver fell asleep when I was hurting really badly. All I asked her to do was to sit with me and help, but she couldn't even do that.

James S_6

I do not believe in their shabby treatment of my case. They are dropping my case because they are dropping a number of clients at the end of September and I do not appreciate that. BrightStar Care could make life easier for me by being more stable and becoming better. They could also have better quality of nurses because mine has made several mistakes.

Diane C_4

BrightStar Care is very rude. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. My husband had to stay in bed for three of four days when they wouldn't come. BrightStar Care didn't make my life easier. They added stress, and I broke out in shingles.

Ronald S_1

BrightStar Care has been taking a direct withdrawal from my account and are supposed to be issuing charges to my insurance company, but they haven't sent any invoices showing charges to my insurance company. The caregivers that come now are great, but BrightStar Care needs to straiten out its procedures.
