They help me do things I cannot do, like showering, helping me clean my house, and doing the laundry.
They are very kind to me, and I like the people they have for me.

My dad just recently had a fall. I had to call last week three times to see where the caregiver was and if they were going to show up.
At this time, the care is very inconsistent. There are a lot of staffing issues. The caregivers do not show up.

I use them primarily for transportation. I don't drive anymore. The ability to feel like I am covered and not be worried about it keeps me sane.
They provide service based on what I need, not determined by a schedule they made.

It was a big impact since I was the sole caretaker for her.
The insurance wouldn't cover the services.

Communication is difficult sometimes. Directly communicate with the caregivers.
The agency could communicate better.

The caregivers need to stay to wake and be more careful with my mom to make our lives easier.
Last week one of the homecare workers was asleep and we couldn't wake her up and my mother fell and got hurt pretty bad.
Bob M_15
Its really positive for him. They make sure he gest showered and dressed.
I like that they are very responsive and they work with us on short notice.

The job is easy because my mom is self-sufficient. It just provided me with the ability to work out of the home.

The caregivers did an excellent job. It helped to know someone was there and feeding them. It made a big difference for me, knowing they were safe.
For the most part, they were good. But if someone wasn't showing up, they didn't call to let us know.

They cannot do anything different that would make my life easier. I had another facility that helped with light housekeeping and laundry because of the ulcers on my feet. The caregivers that came were able to do my laundry for me. I had to have BrightStar for things medical related.
The caregiver was proficient, and she came at the times she said she would come. We used my bedroom as my clean-up, and she brought in some things of her own if we weren't able to get a hold of something quickly.

They have one primary caregiver and we appreciate that because my mom is very comfortable with her.
BrightStar is primarily giving care to my mother and the care for my father was minimal, but they did a great job.

It is miraculous for me. I am very pleased that they have someone to give them the care that he needs.
They are very receptive. They are very well qualified. They are compassionate. I only had to send one caregiver away because he didn't match well with him.

They could be a little more forceful when recommending services to their clients.
I would tell a friend that they've been very responsive. Everyone we've talked to has been very pleasant and professional, and they have consistent staffing.

They could set up schedules for her activities. There's a lot of sitting around, and they should find ways to keep her motivated.
My mom's not an easy case, and they've been willing to work with us.
Bob W_14
They have helped us the most by going beyond her duty to help my mother. She even helped on a Holiday.
I would tell a friend that the nurse named Bonny was wonderful.

We couldn't have gotten by without them.
They took care of both my mom and my dad, and when we were in need of care they went as far as having the owner help us. That was very much appreciated. The nurse that was helping my dad at the end spent a lot of time, like seven days a week. Her name was Amanda.

I really like Michelle. She is like family to me. She takes care of my wife and her daily needs. She helps me out. That way I can get 2 hours of me time.
They are really great. My daughter was going on vacation. She started reading about them and then recommended them.

I am working during the day, and it gives me peace of mind to know she is cared for during the day.
I like that the communication so far has been good. Our first caregiver didn't work out but I feel like when we called, people listened to us and they took our concerns and made changes for us.

We're currently using BrightStar Care Springfield/Bloomington for my mother. They help her get going in the morning, assist with feeding, they get her cleaned up, and they provide companionship. They're here every day, 18 hours a day. Some caregivers are very good, and some are very poor. You need to do a lot of interviewing to make sure you get a caregiver that's the right fit for you.

All of the caregivers have been very genuine.
I haven't had a lot of direct dealing with them, but we've been very happy with the people they've sent to take care of my dad. When the regular people weren't able to come out, they made sure someone else could go to take care of him.

If I didn't have them here I would have to stay home.
If a normal caregiver can't show up they have trouble finding someone to replace them.

If you need a nurse you need a nurse.
Since they don't have a lot of visiting nurses it's as good as it gets. I've had a lot of home health aides.

My mom really began to trust her, and they got along really well. I like they had both home care and nursing care because we utilized both of them and going through just one company made that much easier. They made a big difference for my mom.
They were very easy to work with. The office was great. There was one caregiver that ended up being the primary caregiver. It took a while to get the right fit.

When you haven't had a caregiver from there and they need to learn how to take care of you, that can put a lot of extra time on the services.
I had trouble having a caregiver one night, and they said they would see that it didn't happen again. Also, they could lower the price because their prices are kind of high.

We really needed the services that they offer. We are much better off with their services. I am considering getting a few more hours, but we have new personnel. She did a good job with the first visit. I could use more hours, but I'm waiting.
Perhaps they could have more personnel. I don't really know what the issues are there. We had one individual for quite a while, and she did the best she could. It was okay.

As far as the care went, it didn't work. It wasn't their fault, though. They couldn't have made it work.

It has definitely helped my loved one stay at home. They've provided that level of care for him that other companies couldn't. Otherwise, he would be in a nursing home.

I used to have home care from BrightStar Care Springfield Decatur. I like this agency, they're well managed, and they take good care of me. They have good care overall and they helped me with bathing, dressing, and helped me walk around and helped get me in and out of bed. They have some good people, the nurses kept the meds straight, and they count them every day.
