We had a steady worker that was amazing. Tashina helped us with what to expect from hospice. It was easy to arrange things with the staff.

They were busy every second. The night workers had very little to do. They would change my ice pack and get me to the bathroom. The day people helped me with everything. They did everything for me it was very good. They followed up and made an effort to provide me with care. The people they sent were very good quality.

I couldn't do it without them. They respond to the changes required over time. I like the level of their care and the CNA's provided.

They were nothing but helpful, they made it easier for me to take care of my husband and more importantly, myself. it freed me up to do the self-care that I needed as well. They were incredibly easy to work with, really communicative with issues. They were always polite and helpful.

They took very good care of her. All of the workers that came showed a lot of compassion. They answered all the needs of the patient. They did not try to force anything. They are very responsive and show care.

I couldn't do anything for her because of Covid. At the time, she needed to have someone there to make sure she was okay. She recovered very quickly but we had to make sure she was okay. The caregivers were excellent.

BrightStar Care from Barrington/McHenry County have been excellent to deal with in caring for my parents. Owner and all staff have been superb to deal with, and Lynn (our caregiver) is wonderful and loving. Thank you!

It was miserable because I was so disappointed. The people came in and were of no help to me at all. They were very unpleasant. I would have liked communication with the management to be improved and for them to have sent people with experience and training.

They mostly gave her companionship especially during the COVID-19 time. They are very responsive when I call, and I was able to get someone in to take care of my mom pretty quickly.

It was just what she needed. It allowed my sister to get better and take care of herself. She had cancer and had surgery and couldn't even move so they helped her. The lovely young lady was superb. The client was very happy.

The caregiver helps my loved one in and out of the shower and drives him to and from his doctor's appointments. They're very flexible, helpful, informative, and all of the caregivers have been professional.

My wife came down with a tender spot on her leg. They were able to send out a nurse right away. I didn't know that was a service they provided at the time. They have always been able to come up with a person when they call in sick. I've never had a bad caregiver.

He had Parkinson's, so he was needy. They helped with him. He needed a lot of care. They also did some light housework, which was wonderful for me because I have arthritis in my back. They had pretty good staff.

I don't have to worry about any of it. There have been a few situations where my mom has gotten in the way of things, but they called and got ahold of me first, which made me happy. They are very flexible and have good communication.

They relieved a lot of stress off of our family having someone here to take care of him. They got back to me very quickly and were able to provide the level of care that we needed in a very quick manner, which was very helpful.

My loved one is totally dependent on someone else. They give me a schedule, and I can't rely on it. I would like them to provide what they said they would provide. They said they would send a schedule every Thursday, and we haven't received it for the majority of the time. When we do get a schedule, they change it, and I can't rely on it.

He is relying on them to do things instead of doing things for himself. He did feel more confident with someone in the house. I liked that they were very professional and communicated well. They kept us informed, if someone was not coming or who would be coming.

My mom doesn't need a lot of physical care, but she has a lot of mental defects. Having someone with her so I can leave the house has helped tremendously. They have delivered in what they said they would.

They've provided two caregivers that have met my daughter's needs, but they could improve communication, their business administration, and the way they handle invoices and payments. The administration and the lack of timing for invoices has been the most frustrating thing for me.

The CNA helps me the most because she comes in twice a week and takes me shopping. There is no end to the things she helps me with. I don't know how I've done it without her. The nurse and the CNA are very helpful. I can't believe how good the CNA is to me. She is absolutely wonderful.

It provides a mental relief for us because we were worrying about my loved one's care, but the personnel isn't always the best. They are really awful to deal with when they get in the house.

I think they helped the most with being able to take care of my mom in the bed and moving her around. We had some of the caregivers that weren't aware of how bad my loved one's condition was, and they weren't prepared for it when they came.

He has not fallen out of bed and his caregivers take good care of him. I would tell them that they care, they write everything down, and they call back.

My husband was dying and I couldn't leave the house and couldn't be left alone. I was able to get out and know that he was safe. They were all competent and friendly. They just all seemed very compassionate and they sympathized with my situation.

They are very helpful, depending on the caregiver. I have switched to one caregiver. She has stepped in and she is helpful and comfortable. She acts as my hands. The owner's ability to empathize and be compassionate is amazing.

They have helped her the most by making sure she is safe and transitioning to more independent activities. I like the service they offer, the communication, and that they have great staff.

They could increase communication about schedules with their caregivers. There are another set of eyes to keep an eye on him. Their service seems to be a good fit for our situation. They have flexibility in the scheduling and timing for when we need a caregiver and when we don't.

The nurse comes and helps us. She is knowledgeable and helps us. She is very caring. He likes when the nurse comes in, and he is very open with her. He wishes they did not change people as much, but we do understand that cannot always happen. He is always asking if she is coming. He is always asking for the same person. He is a little confused.

They need to get rid of the scheduler because they don't call me when anything changes. They need to keep the same caregivers I have coming to me.

BrightStar Care's quality depends on the caregiver. We haven't had a consistent caregiver. I had to be present every day due to the my family member's condition.

Bright Star took care of my parents 10 hours a day for about 3 months when they could no longer live on their own but so very much wanted to stay in their home. The staff was caring and helpful from the first interview to the nursing concerns to daily care including taking them to doctors appointments and shopping. It allowed our family to have some peace of mind when we couldn't be there ourselves.
