The administration's ability to get someone in here on short notice is impossible.
The agency could improve on its administration staff because it is incredibly hard to get someone in here.

The impact of the services on our daily life are not outstanding because they are solely doing vitals.
I recommend BrightStar because they are very professional.
Kerri B
They helped by being there when I couldn't.
We are contemplating using caregivers from them in the future.

The caregivers could have a greater impact if they could engage with the client more.
It would be nice to not have a 6 hour minimum.

Very responsive, people that they supplied are with them for a year, incredibly devoted.
My mother currently has 24-hour care. Ramped up. She likes them because they are responsive, fairly large staff, able to fulfill needs, anyone's absence, and supply someone else.

They have done smooth infusions and conversations.

I can sleep without worrying about my wife having fallen or something. It makes a lot of difference.
They should be more reliable. We have had too many cancellations at the last minute.

It was pretty late in the process by the time the agency started coming around. They were more helpful to my dad and I than anything. They would help with cleaning her up.
During the time we used the services, there was a shortage on caregivers and some where inexperienced. Everyone was overall really nice and tried their best.

It's helpful. It mostly allows me to leave and be comfortable that someone is there with my mom. There's not much for them to do.

They have great customer service, incredible caregivers, and are so responsive whenever I have scheduling conflict.
I have a special caregiver that has been with me for two years. She takes care of everything I need done like laundry, shopping, and cooking for the week in 5 hours. I can give her any recipe and she can make it so well! She is always there and never fails to show up. I really rely on my caregiver and the company.

We have her just for eight hours a week but it's very helpful. I would get another day if I could afford it.
I would tell a friend that they're efficient and organized.

I think they can be professional in being health care providers. They carried more authority. There was a nurse here to see her. That was the most important part in their role.
They did a good job managing the care.

When I was working it was excellent, it freed me up to work. If I didn't have them I would have to go in during my work. It eases the burden.

The take the burden of care off us so we can still enjoy time with our loved ones. They allow us to be family members rather than caregivers.

We're using BrightStar Care Central Contra Costa County. I was looking for companionship so they're quite sufficient and accessible for us. I haven't been there when the caregivers are there, but the feedback I'm getting from the rest of the family is that it's adequate.

When the client has dementia, having some consistency with the caregivers needs to happen. It makes it confusing.

The employee arrives and achieves a minimum level of skills. They could improve on how they record things like blood pressure and relay that to the processing people.
They need more consistency in the ability of each person to work at the same level.

They relay information about my clients to me. I oversee their care, but am not there directly. It is important that I get that feedback from them so I can make sure they are being taken care of properly because I am there care manager.
I have not had any problems with them. They are open to work with scheduling and rescheduling so f I need someone to come fill in on a short notice, they are always able to get someone, and that is really nice.

It makes a big difference. As the husband of someone with dementia, it puts the weight on me and BrightStar Care takes care of those things to relieve me of the day to day things.
They are a local organization that will provide you with caregivers, and some of them are very good. You can change the caregivers you don't like

They treat my mother really nicely and she likes most of them. There have only been a couple of them she did not care for.
Beth C_5
The most she helped with was continuing to get more sessions. She pursued more sessions and got them because she knew I needed more therapy. She encouraged me to do more than I thought I could do.
The PT was very assertive and didn't let me slack. She encouraged me and forced me to do more than I wanted to do in a good way. It resulted in some great results in me walking.

We had to go to another company because BrightStar Care wasn't able to fulfill our needs. Being with another agency has been a night and day difference. It was a lot of work trying to work things out with them.
We have a problem with this agency's honesty factor. They aren't always able to provide a caregiver when they say they will.

They were nice. The caregiver wasn't too experienced, but my case isn't as extreme as some people. I needed to be with someone.
I thought they were a little picky about computing the time. They took it down to the minute. Sometimes we just chatted, and we were charged for it.

It was very personal, they are different, but there was an overlap. She looked around my home to see if it was safe and gave me a suggestion for my home and for my living. The physical therapist was more on strengthening my leg and worked with me on that.
They are great, I just thought they really cared about me and it was really personal. They came in and I had two people, an occupational therapist and a physical therapist, and they both worked well together.

They had very little impact. We required something that they couldn't do. There wasn't skilled nursing and I wasn't here so I wasn't sure what they were all about.
I don't know if there was a miscommunication, but they sent a different person every single day and it was important that we had consistency because of Alzheimer's. They would send people when they said they weren't coming.

if I didn't have the services, it would be an inconvenience for me to take care of him and go to work.
The nurses, when they first started, had to poke my loved one a couple of times to give him his factor. They also didn't have all the supplies needed.
