I was under the impression that the caregivers were trained to redirect people who have dementia. BrightStar Care struggled with giving the level of care that was needed.

The current caregiver is empathetic and knowledgeable. She's been valuable to us. They could give us a profile of the caregivers that come in.

Its a great help for us because I can have a life. I can go grocery shopping while they are there. I like that they have nurses that are on cases around here so we can also use them. They have good communication with us.

We have a live-in caregiver and without her, the quality of life would be significantly impacted. She has some pretty severe dementia and the caregivers make sure she is eating. Our client has been with BrightStar for many years. There has always been great service provided.

The caregivers could have a greater impact if they could be a little more involved in the care rather than just the standard feeding, bathing, and giving him medications. The agency needs to improve communication.

They can have more responsible people like the CNA, most of them weren't qualified people, they did have two good people working for them. They can hire people that are better than babysitters, I like Yolanda, she was the best person we had besides Rose.

The biggest challenge is with the caregivers and finding ones that are qualified and who do their jobs. I'd like them to have a better screening of caregivers and more restrictions on clothing.

They were very helpful when they were here, but it was the most frustrating thing when my husband was extremely sick and they sent someone who wasn't qualified at all. She didn't know how to move him from side to side to make the bed. The first day she was supposed to show up, she called in sick. She was sick another day, but she came and said she was told to double mask, and we sent her home.

Christina is medically fragile, and her nurse is very loving and warm. She came in trying to bond with Christina, and takes very good care of her. I like that BrightStar puts my needs and Christina's needs first when matching us with a nurse. They have a very good connection with us. I was given Marge's number if I really need help with something right away.

For a while I couldn't handle my sister alone so we needed the services. We didn't need them for too long though so the impact lowered as she got better. I would recommend the company but I would tell people they need to have enough money to pay them. The cost is high.

They could have had the financial issues. The training could have been better compared to some of the people of the other company. The first caregiver spoiled us. There were some discrepancy there with the financial work, and somebody should have followed up on that. Ultimately, they've been very cooperative with my daughter and getting the paperwork. The insurance wasn't cooperating.

He has improved his quality of life overall on a daily basis. He has been very engaging. He gets my loved one to communicate. They were really good in the beginning with communication, but ever since we implemented the caregiver the communication has ceased. I don't hear from anyone. I would like there to be more frequent communication.

The hardest part is starting someone new, but the caregiver now has fallen in like a duck in water and does just as I need her to do. I am happy with her and am comfortable with her being here. If I have an issue, I will call them, and I am very comfortable with doing so, and they will help. I am a pretty easy client and I do have the energy to follow someone around, so I have everything laid out for them.
