When the caregivers are not busy with me, they can help my husband do things around the house. I think that is one of the important things that they do. I like the quality of the caretakers.

They did some light housekeeping and minimal cooking. They were easy to contact at first but the caregivers needed to be trained better.

I like that if the caregivers do it, then I do not have to do it because I can only stand up for about five minutes. I like that they have someone provided everyday.

Right now they have been doing housekeeping, changing her bed, laundry, and even taking the dog to the vet, but it might be changing to more soon. I like the flexibility they had and the great communication with them, so I would recommend.

We have been able to have one consistent caregiver for 40 hours a week which has been stabilizing for the client. Generally, the communication is good. I think they make an effort to be in contact with us about variances with the schedule or questions.

The agency could make my life easier by having better communication because it has been a problem for a while and tell me who's coming and when they're leaving. For me to recommend them more they need to communicate better because I'm never sure who's going to show up on my door and they have sent people on a day when I canceled and they weren't supposed.

It helps me because if I was healthy myself it would be okay but I have some problems where I could not walk and it is difficult to help. They have screwed up the billing, they give you a table that shows the hours and they put in more hours then they should.

It was not over the top. We did not know what we were looking for. Some of the staff was really good and others were less self-motivated. It was recommended by the advisor at the hospital when we were able to bring my mom home. They did a nice job of responding well. They came out and explained what they were going to do. There were avenues for communication if we had any concerns or questions since we were new to this.

Because none of them had the training I had to teach them before I could do my own stuff which cut into my time. I was basically paying them for me to teach them. I realize its difficult to hire quality individuals that are trained for homes. BrightStar didn't supply me with anyone with the training I needed.

They have helped me to be a little more independent. They have helped me improve in my physical and occupational therapy. It is difficult to get skilled people, but I know that is having an effect on them. It has not affected me. The healthcare worker that I have in the morning has been with me since the fifth of December and she is extremely good.

The girls have been very nice to my husband and have conversations with him. They've been lovely. It's nice knowing he will be cared for while I'm gone. I think the hardest thing is that one girl wrote down everything that's to be expected, and the new caregivers don't read what's on the list before they come making me have to go over it all with them before I leave.

I hired them to give my husband and I break but two times we had to hurry home because my father was not being taken care of correctly. They needed to give a little more information to the person that they were sending to the home. They needed to give them more up to date information about what my father needed. There were some mishaps because they did not have the right information.
