I look forward to her coming. She helps out. Paula is an angel. Her personality works with Bonnie. We couldn't have asked for a better caregiver.

BrightStar Care has helped to find a caregiver that is professional who meets my requirements and goes through the efforts of listening to my needs and questions. BrightStar Care could hire better caregivers, but they have been responsive in meeting the needs of my mother when I express them.

When they showed up they did laundry but it was mainly to have someone here for her. I think they need more reliable people and shifts for people who have to leave really early in the morning.

One caregiver was good, she suggested to put sheets on the bed. I need a ride to the rehab because I had a hand in a sling after the surgery, but the ride was not provided. The same lady took me to the rehab herself. Other caregivers helped some around the house, but mostly they were just sitting at a table, and then left early. We were not satisfied with the services. They didn't listen to what we wanted and they didn't provide the care needed. We were told that the caregivers will be here 4 hours a day. They charged us for 6,5 hours although the caregiver was here for 2 hours.

I was very unhappy with some of them but overall they were average. They helped most by having people available that would come and run the vacuum for me when I was totally wheelchair-bound. They helped me so those things I could not. It goes back to the personnel they hire. They need to improve.

They are there primarily when she is sleeping. My mom doesn't get good quality rest because she doesn't know the people who come and they keep changing and she doesn't trust them. I would like them to live up to what they are advertising. It seems like they started off saying you would have a primary caregiver and then a backup, but a it's a constant rotation of new faces.

It is not really BrightStar's fault, but I have had 3 nurses. The first one was phenomenal, but I feel like they lack a little knowledge in their field. I feel like some of the nurses lack training in their field.

My husband and I still work, and by having the assistance from BrightStar Care, we don't have to take off work and put our jobs at jeopardy to take care of this. BrightStar Care is very responsive, they have nurses do assessments, the director goes over what the services they provide are, and they allow you to personalize the services.

He made it easier for me, and even though he wasn't too experienced with changing the type of bandages that I had, he made it really easy and worked with me really well. It would make it a lot easier if the nurse was supplied with the supplies. The nurse knew what I needed, but there weren't always supplies on hand.

I've become much more independent now. I had them 24 hours a day but now I have them four hours a day. When I needed a hand, they were able to do that. All but two of the people have been untrained and not up to what was advertised. They told me the people were trained to do meal preparation, but it's not true. I had to walk them through how to make an egg salad sandwich.

Everybody that I've dealt with has been really good and knowledgeable. They're wiling to help me in every aspect that I've needed. I broke my shoulder and right arm. I am dominant right handed, so it has been a very difficult process. I just had a shoulder replacement surgery, so right now I don't have a lot of control of my right hand. I have to have someone help me get dressed and I can't have any weight on my hand or arm for up to six weeks, so they help me with meal prep and laundry. It's been a great help to me, because I live by myself. It's been a big help to me.

This is my second time using them after a serious surgery. I've experienced them and they're the best. The training of their employees is great. All the way from the initial call to the billing staff to the nurses, they're always courteous. When I call and need someone, I'm already stressed out, but the people at BrightStar Care are always calm. They listen and then respond, and then they deliver. For this particular procedure, I was very nervous because I had to wait for the surgeon for two hours. The girl who was there from BrightStar Care prayed for me when I asked her to. After that, the surgeon asked if he could pray for me.
