When I have the help and trust the people to care for my mom, I have time to be able to do some work while they are here. So far, the people they have sent are very competent and caring people. We like the people they have sent us.

I went out of the state, so I had to trust. It was a little nerve wracking, but it worked out. I couldn't have asked for more attention and feedback. I like the way that the owner came over and sat and talked with me. He made an extra trip to make sure that his person was all settled.

The most disappointing thing was the lack of understanding of scheduling. I like to know things in advance and I got no notice at all. The worst part is the communication between the caregiver and myself.

I take a lot of medication so it's overwhelming for me to get everything dished out into the boxes. They took a lot of pressure off of me. When employees leave the company, they need to find someone to replace them quickly. I had someone come every Tuesday, but then she left so they gave me someone that only did this type of work part time. She wouldn't come consistently. Now, they have dropped me from the services.

They are helpful because I'm in a wheelchair. There are only certain things I can do when I'm at a certain level. I've worked with two or three different caregivers over a year, and I'm pleased with the people. I don't have any complaints about anyone that's been a caregiver. They know what they're doing.

Right now, it hasn't been exactly super-duper because of the issues I have going on in my life. We are trying the 24 hour care for a couple of days, however, we are waiting for someone and I am not sure where we stand at this time. I need more time at home with my loved one, who also has health issues, and all of this has been very difficult on me. We only have a caregiver right now for a few hours, and they are improving. I can honestly say that everyone I have talked to in the office or on the phone with BrightStar Care seem very professional and are very interested in our needs.

I like the fact that they exist to provide what they provide because without it, I wouldn't have my mother living with me. They seem to have staffing issues, so sometimes there is inconsistency in the care. It would be nice to have more consistency with caregivers. They assist her in and out of bed, to the bathroom, with bathing, and with meals.

There was a time when I had to be at a doctor's appointment, and there was a caregiver that could not come, and someone from the management came and filled in until someone else could come, so I could go to my appointment. They have helped me so much because they are able to schedule an aide to come consistently three times a week. It has made everything throughout the week flow really smoothly. They meet our needs by providing someone consistent and dependable that we really like.
