I have used Brightstar of Tampa for 6 years. My parent’s love our caregiver Carline. We have now adopted her in our family. She is very caring and personable. The entire staff is easy to work with and very professional.

They help her with going to the bathroom, getting her food, and cleaning up. We had a lot of turnover in the beginning with aides and schedules. They could have better communication in the beginning as to who would be showing up.

I live out of state so that's huge. They're trustworthy and have been with us for a long time. They're like family to us and are companions to my mother. I really like the caregivers and the continuity. We've had them for five years.

They don't have any vaccinated home health employees, so be careful when hiring for your elderly loved ones. They also NEVER communicate with you. You'll never know if someone is coming or not, because they don't tell you.

They sent a great nurse who helped with everything! She bathed him. The most important thing is that they should not take cases unless they have the capacity to send nurses quickly to their case.

In certain areas they only let us have certain amount of care. For example, they want us to be more ill in order to take us to the doctor or grocery. For the last six years that I have had them I have had good care.

They took care of my loved one. It really depended on the day and the caregiver. I had some girls here that were wonderful. I had others that were in the wrong profession. They didn't do good care. I don't know if they need to interview their people better. One girl showed up here drunk that could barely stand up. Another girl stole from us. Most were very good.

It was good because he felt comfortable having someone come and give me a hand. It is a good company and I liked everyone. I was happy with them. My husband was blind and had dementia, and once in a while the caregivers weren't really looking to give me a hand around the house. They should have made it clear what they were going to help me with. It wasn't a big deal.

They need to send me someone who is capable of getting him out of bed. I do like them but they don't send me the care that I need for my husband. They sent me a young girl who cannot pick Michael up. They are punctual and they make sure he is okay while he eats. They are attentive.

They are already doing what they can. The people need to be trained more, and they need to have the right caregivers for the right people. They need to improve the quality of the people they hire and how they talk to their clients.

If they weren't there I wouldn't be able to leave my house. I think that they need to be better at doing what they say that they will do. They are not consistent, and they need to be mindful of the complexity of the case.

Not only did they push me to do things that I needed to do, but they were also aware of my limits. The person who worked directly with me was really great. I had another company help me beforehand, and this young man who came here was very prepared and brought weights and was prepared with things to help me. I feel like I did more progress with this company. I believe the person took the initiative on his own.

It's a very big help for her and it gives us peace of mind knowing that someone is checking on her and providing extra care because where she's living is understaffed. I know that my family has done a lot of leg work to make sure that they're actually doing what they're supposed to do. We wanted someone that would interact with her and help feed her, and as well as provide companionship. I think at first there was a few different people that were coming, but then we finally got some stability.

They show her compassion and nurture her. It took a few tries to find a caregiver for my mom. The ones working with my mom are exceptional. There were some issues with professionalism. They really bond with mom. I am really happy with them and I trust them with my mother. They corrected what wasn't going right. They didn't just give up on us.

They should coach the caregivers to be more in the background and not be intrusive in the home. It caused more stress for us to have them come in and try to have conversation. It is tricky to find someone that is a good fit personality-wise to have in my home.

The girl is good that comes and she affects my health in a good way. The company doesn't give a crap about me. They just leave it up to the caregiver. They don't pay my health care provider when they are supposed to. They don't pay my caregiver and she is upset when she comes over. I think the company is falling apart and they need to shut down.
