The majority of the aides reached out and didn't treat my mom like a patient, but like a friend. There was good bonding with my mom with most of them. They made my mom comfortable.
They could be better with record keeping. At the end of the shifts, the healthcare aides were not really effective with relaying to me how the shift went.

They are good at communicating.
I think it's because the client needs special care and when the caregiver doesn't know what to do they are overwhelmed.

They have helped me get my morning routine down. They help de-stress the rest of the family.
They have amazing aides, really nice people & exceptional customer service. Very friendly people.

The experience has been positive because the caregivers have pleasant personalities and currently come consistently.
We have been through several caregivers, the current caregiver is great. There have been some that have shown up and not come back so we would like something consistent.

The nurse that we have makes bad decisions sometimes. Her family member had a case of COVID-19, and she came into my house. They should train their nurses on how to teach administering an IV.
I personally like our nurses, but I don't think she is the best nurse I have ever had. She is nice, but she is not a teacher.

I would tell a friend that all the girls have been accommodating.

They should do what they are being paid to do.
They are sending me bodies. It doesn't seem that their people are knowledgeable. Their people sleep on the job and wear headphones and can't hear the patient.

The caregiver administers my daily medication, which affects my ability to have a good daily life.
The caregiver is very caring and keeps me updated on everything.

They made sure she didn't fall and kept her company.
Everyone was very friendly and personable. They took my calls when I had problems and I didn't have to worry about getting the run around.

The caregivers of my parents keep them company which makes them (and me) very happy.
I've recommended the agency to others.

They could've actually provided care for my mom.
I would like to see them hold their staff accountable, if the patient is in a lot of pain, they should let the client call 911 or myself. They also need to show up on time.

They take care of mom, she was alone. They provided her companionship and take care of her while I am in Texas.
They have been professional and reliable. They care for my mom and she is pleased with them.

When they were here, it was good. Some of the aides were polite.
They could give you more notice of when they're coming. Sometimes they wouldn't even call before coming.

They provide cleaning services that my mother can't do on her own.
They offer home cleaning in addition to the health care.

They have helped me walk better.

They take her to doctor's appointments.

It caused her more work than she had before.
If there were actual cooks, that's what we actually needed. Their strong suit definitely wasn't cooking. The caregiver didn't clean up after herself, so my mom had to clean up after she left.

I really like that Stacy is very knowledgeable and helps me with my wound care. They are very good at matching me with the caregivers.
I like that they have really good caregivers. I think they screen their people very well.

They clean for her and wash her bedsheets. She wouldn't clean them on her own.
They answer the phone and someone came out in person in a timely person to meet with my mom and me. That responsiveness is very important.

They watched the client for safety. It gave us peace of mind.

The caregiver has good communication. They are receptive to suggestions of the care.
BrightStar Care has some really good people. However, it can be hit or miss with the caregiver someone could get.

It allows me to continue doing my work, it allows someone else to help with injections.

They have a hard time getting people into help me.
I've been with them for seven weeks, and they've only come three times.

They've been able to find good people to send out to me.
When someone calls out sick, it's hard for them to find a replacement.

It makes a difference on my mom's life. They really provide the care for my mom when needed.
Their response time could be improved and two of the times when the date was coming, they let us know there wasn't anyone to come and provide care.

With the nurse that I have, she is wonderful but she isn't always on time. She just needs to work on time management.
The nurses are awesome and wonderful. They are nice, polite, and informative.

Communication would make my life easier. The first day that they did the evaluation, they said that they would give him two nurses, but they never did that.
They need to improve their communication.

They are aware of what they are doing. They have made positive changes in my life that will stay.

They ask what I want more to be done and there will be several things I do require. They do what is evident and ask about the rest.
They do whatever you want and need.

I would have preferred to have people show up.
I did not have regular care. People did not show up, they showed up late, or had to have a replacement.

They have healed my wounds.
It is hard to judge, and we had some rough spots initially, but the personnel has been well qualified.
Erron B
They are great. She comes in and makes sure I am in the shower and do not have a chance of falling. It scares me to get out of my wheelchair to get in the shower. She makes me feel very comfortable.
They are on time to the minute and come whenever I need them. They take care of everything I need. I am left with no questions.

They have been able to tolerate her with no complaints. No other agency has been able to do that.
They were able to work with difficult patients.
Debra _2
May 19, 2020
Mostly it's very helpful. I don't know how many new people they've sent and how many of them got lost. We have our good days and our bad days.
Everybody I've talked to in this area and dealing with health agencies, it's all the same complaints. They don't pay their people enough money. We have been able to weed out the good ones, but I can't even begin to tell you how many bad ones we went through. We've had people not show up. It's not because of the pandemic. We have people that just don't show up and then the agency doesn't have anybody to cover them.

She had Alzheimer's and lived by herself, so it enabled her to feel at peace knowing someone was with her.
They were responsive, and the person was polite and respectful towards my mother.

It's allowing her to be at home. Otherwise, she would have to be in a facility. It makes her happier to be at home.
They go above and beyond to make sure they give the best-quality caregivers. There's always someone in the office to speak to. They give you a family feel.

We needed other services like cleaning on top of visiting services, but we never got there.
The scheduling was the most frustrating part. it was the reason for us to discontinue services. One of the issues we had was that we wanted the same person every week. We never did get this.
SorryNotSorry
Caregivers don't always show up on time & know how to fudge the system if they want to leave early. The scheduler Melissa can be very rude at time & John quit so...she will argue with the client if they want to change a caregiver who isn't doing the job. Robin s/b notified.

My loved one is extremely satisfied, and it is handled very discreetly.
The nurse is excellent, and the person in billing is great. The director is excellent.

The only thing that they do is come and take blood and do a dressing change on my picc line. She's very attentive and makes sure that I am okay.
They're very on top of everything! Today we had a miscommunication, and the head nurse came out to my house and took care of everything right away.

My loved denies the services, but that's just her. The caregivers are able to explain why they're there.

I'd like the caregivers to have a clear idea of what their role and responsibility is. I'd like them to do laundry.

It's good because I have peace of mind because they're always there. They text me to let me know how the night went. They also leave a written message for the day shift so they know what's going on. They do what I request.
The actual girls who go there are there at night, so I haven't met them. I only have mom's feedback. Mom is very comfortable with them, and they are very professional.
John R_7

One caregiver was always late, making it hard for other family members and their schedules.
They do a good job with the care giving, they follow up and do everything that we ask them to do.
*******There is an N/A question without any feedback.
