They've helped out tremendously. They return calls and are very helpful. I like that they seem to be very professional, helpful, and caring.

They keep a journal and tell me everything my husband does and does not do without me asking. I like that they promised to send someone if the caregiver cannot come, they have been very reliable.

I like that they got back to me right away, and they have a decent amount of people that come to the house. They have an instant contact and try to do whatever they can to get me help.

We had COVID, so we were sick and needed help. I liked that there was a nurse available that cared and was very much involved with what was going on here.

They have helped the most by relieving us of other burdens. I like that they are very responsive whenever we reach out to them.

We had the same aide for more than 2 years. The communication is not good.

I'm unable to do anything for myself. They have to help me throughout the day. I have 24-hour care. I can't do without anyone here. I like some of the people working there, I'm satisfied with the people they send me.

I just needed to be more upfront about how my situation was. That might have resolved some of the bumps. The people who work there are very excellent. They really try to help you out. However, Tammy didn't understand how ill I was.

She is very nice and for what time she does come she keeps some areas clean and clutter free so I don't have to live in filth. The care that I get is to help them clean up the house. It has been very helpful for me.

I don't have to worry about cleaning the apartment or things like that. It is very helpful. The aide that is here, the nurse, is very good. She is on time and does anything that I ask.

Some of them are not as good. It's gotten better, though. The one we really liked moved away. They used to be owned by someone else. The management is only interested in making money. I've complained about some of the aides. They took away the aides that took away people that were here for years. That thoroughly confused my mother with dementia.

They could have been reliable. One issue is that they called me the night before my surgery and they said the person that was coming was not coming. They were sending a new person and I was not going to leave my husband home alone with a new person. It was unacceptable. I had to make different arrangements for care.

She is a dementia patient, and they need to learn to redirect her better. This agency is decent, they could provide more training for their caregivers.

The aide I have right now does a great job with keeping everything clean. In the beginning it all started out on the slow things, and with time, it got better and I have never had a problem with the quality of care.

It was wonderful having someone come in to take care of him because I was the one taking the majority of care for him. I was pleased with them because the person that was coming in here had a good work ethic.

She helps her to walk. Compared to some of the other healthcare facilities I have used, they are little bit more personal.

They are responsive and flexible in helping provide what my father needs and are also respectful of my mother, who is also in the house. I like that they are very responsive and communicative.

They helped her shower, dress, and get breakfast. It took a long time for them to contact when the caregiver wasn't going to be there.

The girl came in and did what she needed to do. I was at work so she knew what to do in case of emergency. I liked their mannerisms, the way they took care of things, and the way they handled things.

They help her with showering, getting dressed, and with getting going. She doesn't want to do any of that for me. They could be more consistent with the caregivers.

Some of the caregivers went above and beyond. It all depended on the caregiver. Some were really good, but others were not. I feel like they should clock in when they enter the home. I have had some people clock in, then sit in their car for a little bit until they were late.

It is the only relief that I have. It gives me the opportunity to do other things I need to do in terms of maintenance, shopping, and selfcare. I can rely on the people, and they take care of my wife properly. They are reliable about time as well.

They take me shopping for food. Everybody means business. They do their job. They drive me around in my car.

It gives me breathing room to do other things that I need to do, or else I am a full-time care provider when they are not here. I like that in general the staff is competent, well-prepared, and gives steady care. It is good until we get into extra shifts, then it gets a little spotty.

My loved one has other issues going on. It was a little bumpy in the beginning with communication. They can communicate better.

BrightStar Care takes care of my mom, which allows me to continue on with my normal life. If I need them, they are always available. If my caregiver is on vacation, they always manage to find a replacement.

They provide security to my loved one. I like the quality of their staff. One of the requirements for our insurance is that the worker needs to be certified, and the agency has certified nurses.

She was extremely comfortable, and the person that they sent over was a good match. Everything was easy from the minute they picked up the phone. They were very responsive, and everything went better than expected.

They come a couple hours in the morning and night. They are are nice and helpful. They are helping me be able to use my arm that I broke a little more. They are going slow with the exercises. They give good care, are knowledgeable, and have registered nurses in charge. I can see that they have been trained very well.

The fact that we had the services was a help. One of the caregivers came in and asked for a cup of coffee. The caregiver proceeded to tell my mother that she had a felony on her record that she was trying to get rid of.

We've had them for all of April. A few caregivers didn't work out but any issues that we've had, the owner and his staff jumped to take care of them. They've been great. BrightStar Care is working 24 hours a day for us. I was the one who cared for her for years.

I would recommend BrightStar Care to others because their caregivers are attentive and well-dressed. BrightStar Care had a good impact on my mom because without their help, she would not have been able to attend the wedding of her granddaughter.

Amazing, caring staff and wonderful office support. My caregiver is compassionate, and takes care of all my needs. Marlyn and Amy handle all my scheduling and always call to see how I'm doing. The nurse stops in to check my blood pressure and make sure I have everything I need. I feel like I can always count on them.

Brightstar Care's caregiver is very nice. They clean up a little bit, feed you if you have a problem with eating, and walk around with you. They've been very good. They wash the floor, vacuum the carpet, and change sheets.

So far Brightstar is very good, very responsive, and professional. I told them that I need consistency. I need 24/7 care, and I need the same people over and over again otherwise I have to train people every time a new person comes in. But that message was not received and I had about 8 different people and every time there’s a new person I can’t go out, I can’t do my errands. So we’re settling down into a routine. But I haven’t given them enough time to get to know each other and to understand that I need the same caregivers, or at least 4 of them. But it can’t be 8. It can’t be a new person every time. So that was the only problem.
