Whenever she comes, we leave the door unlocked for her and she always says good morning. I would recommend them because we have no complaints about anything. Everything about it is good service.

They didn't help. She just broke her hip, and they could have helped her more. They were supposed to help with my mom, but they just sat and played on their phones.

Some people were excellent and others were not. It goes back to the training. The people that were there regularly, like Mariah, did a great job at being positive and getting along with her. They were consistent. There were communication issues, scheduling issues, and training issues. I had typed in-depth instructions for the caregivers, but they came in and had no idea of what to do.

Having somebody there overnight was a big relief. The night nurse was there when my mom was going through her last stages. Without them, I wouldn't have known what to do. Everybody was very helpful and very understanding. The care coordinator tried very hard to find me help at short notice. The night nurse was very polite.

The follow through and sending outstanding people and always keeping me informed. The care that they give him increases the quality of life for both my parents.

He does not really like the floater in the mounting, but she does help him take her medicine as we wanted. We really like the girl that comes for 4 hours though. I really like the girl we have coming. My father-in-law really likes her a lot. I like that they are prompt and do what we ask them to do.

It causes stress and concern initially when my dad was not being cared for properly. They got a better caregiver who was then able to take care of my dad and his needs. I was concerned about whether they could continue providing that care in the next week. I just think that I clearly laid out the requirements and challenges in our initial assessment. I would expect that they shouldn't send out someone unqualified for the job after understanding those challenges and requirements.

They were in a large home and now a small home but they are also getting some people and it has been overwhelming. One of the things that I would like them to do is just work on face to face meetings.

They were beneficial, the value of the service was just not quite as good as other places that we have contacted. They just need to find better people to come work with clients. We had one company send out someone who just dove in to work and the people with Bright Star have not done that.

I had two caregivers, one for the night and one for the day. The nighttime one was exceptional, and I really enjoyed the initiative she took to do things around the house. However, the day caregiver didn't do that as much. There was a big difference between the two caregivers. I wish that I would have had a checklist of things to do around the house that they could have helped me with. I have already been doing it, because it was nice to know that there was someone there if I needed help. Sometimes, I need a person to go with me for procedures that I have, and I can hire BrightStar to help me. I don't have to bug someone else.
