They are helpful to accommodating our schedule. They communicate, they are always on time and have friendly staff.

They showed me how to do self-infusions. I like BrightStar Care because my second nurse Janine was knowledgeable.

They can follow through with more communication and let us know when she is going to be out and give us more call backs. They can assist more with getting someone else in their absence. Our first care provider was dishonest with her time keeping. The other care provider didn't let anyone know when she was going to call out.

The treatment is not where I can tell if it is helpful or not. Their communication is poor, I call with information, and it never seemed to go anywhere and scheduling was rough because it was not communicated until the night before.

Suzie has been with her. She has been enormously effective at getting her house organized. Carleen just loves her. Her house was very cluttered before, and Suzie got everything organized. They are able to do what we need done, at the time we need it. They are very professional and very kind.

The services were good. We were with them for a year because it was a big help to the family. There were, however, many times we didn't get a caregiver. BrightStar had very good caregivers. They were ladies who wanted to take care of their charge. They just weren't good with their billing.

My mom is in a tough spot. Because of her condition, and she doesn't want to get better. She feels like it's her time to go. I don't see her wanting to work hard to improve and there's nothing they could do to help. I think the care was excellent. A lot of the issues were on my mom's side.

Basically, they need a greater ability to see what needs to be done and pursue it. I'd like the aides to be better trained for the needs of the clients. These are things that the insurance expects. They're congenial but not concentrated.

They don't have to do a whole lot for me because I'm very independent, but I need to have someone here because of my surgery. When they're here, they're on it. Sometimes they're ahead of me and they get me things. This is the second time that I've used the services. They're reliable and friendly, and the caregivers are awesome. They communicate well.

I have many disabilities and my vision is going bad, so they drive me to go shopping and help me pick up my medicine. They do things with the car that I cannot do anymore. We get things done that need to be done, which is very good.

I was exhausted during that time and it was so nice that I could leave because they were qualified and I felt confident letting them take care of him while they were gone. Not only did they care for him, but they cared for me. They were prepared to take care of him for the end of his life.

The people that they send need to come to work. They come and they just sit for the whole 4 hours. Honestly, they've only sent me two people, and that's it. The person who usually takes care of me is good, but the other person I would not recommend to anyone.

The caregivers were able to come over right away, and they helped me when I was in a pinch. The owner of BrightStar Care came over on a Sunday to assess the situation to see which nurse to bring over for my dad. When she came I thought I had the flu, and she asked me what I needed and she actually went to the store and got me medicine and things to settle my stomach. It turned out that the sickness almost killed me and it was not the flu, and I don't think she knows that, but I thought it was very kind of her to do that for me.

I don't use them on a daily basis, and when they are here, they watch my kids. They could be more aware of potential hazards and safety issues. I would tell a friend that they are good as a back-up, but I wouldn't use them as my primary care.

They were flexible, courteous, respectful, professional, and they bent over backwards to make sure they accommodate the client. It was so greatly appreciated. It was a much needed service for my loved one. They were there when they said they were going to be. They drove her to doctor's appointments.

They don't train their caregivers. No one is trained on the simple services we require. They send a new person out and don't come with them to tell them where everything is. The main person came out and I went over everything with that person, but the next caregiver came out and the first one never trained anyone else. It would be nice if, after I explained the rules to one person, they would turn around and train the next person. They haven't made much difference for us. They need better at training and not send someone out with no clue what to do.

I would tell a friend that BrightStar Care has worked hard to accommodate the schedule I need. They will send multiple people to help me. The care I get from BrightStar Care is helpful in my life. They are able to handle the administrative duties of filing with long term care. They make sure the people they send are appropriate.

BrightStar Care is a good company because they are reliable, responsive, and they have wonderful caregivers. BrightStar Care changes the situation right away if they send a caregiver that isn't a good fit. BrightStar Care is worth the money I pay. I have no idea what I would do without BrightStar Care. The CNA care from BrightStar Care is 120% better than care I received in a nursing home.

I am not likely to recommend BrightStar Care because they did not seem to have a caregiver who matched well with my loved one. BrightStar Care made life easier because they were able to get someone to help me with my loved one on short notice.
