I feel some of the caregivers are excellent, but I feel some of the caregivers aren't always willing to help. I like BrightStar Care because they are very engaged in communication and very flexible.

There were some staffing issues. I liked the fact that they worked hard to find a caregiver that met her needs. They would notify me in advance if a caregiver couldn't come.

My experience is positive because the caregiver we have now has been great. She gives the client a bath and comes twice a week. I would like if the caregivers would not call off so often.

Darius has been my husbands caregiver Monday thru Friday for the past few months He comes in every morning with a big smile and always ask how I am. Jerry looks forward to there banter every day. Darius makes sure that my husband is clean from head to toe. My husband is bedridden now and can't do for himself so Darius is doing everything for him. He goes above and beyond to make sure my husband feels good about himself. I am grateful everyday that he was sent to take of Jerry and he also looks out for me as well. Darius is an asset to your company and you should be proud that he represents your company.

At the time, the client was very weak, so they were good at knowing how to handle her. One caregiver was reluctant to do things even if I told her.

I have them because I'm required to have a service. Every two weeks they wash my hair and daily change diapers and bathe me. Their fees are excessive in comparison to other agencies. They sent out people that are 110 pounds and can't do anything for my body weight. They should have made better selections when they sent providers to my house.

I try to keep her out of a nursing home to give her the best care. They've been able to provide coverage when I need it. It'd be nice to be able to get a report from them at the end of the week so they can tell me what the experience was from their standpoint. I'd like some feedback. They've been consistent and able to fulfill the coverage that I've needed. I haven't had contact with the individuals who work with my mother so I don't always get to meet them, and I can't get input from my mom about them because she has dementia and a high level of cognitive decline.

Sharon the one that comes twice a month is very good too. I like that she is very attentive to my mom's needs and wants. They are on time and show up consistently. We really like our long time caregiver who has been with us but the back up caregivers have not been familiar with the care plan. They have not have the skills for dementia clients or for transferring the client. They were not able to provide quality care.

She only has bathing twice a week, they are very kind and gentle when bathing her. The caregivers that come are nice but sometimes they come when they are not scheduled. They come when she has a doctor's visit. They need someone to supervise the schedule.

They were always able to answer his questions when I wasn't there and there was always someone on duty to help him. They made sure that everything was done per his request. They were always on time and friendly to my brother. They kept personal relationships with him, got him his medicine and checked on him multiple times a day. They did all that was asked regarding his care.

If you are looking for consistency look elsewhere. We were told that we would have the same caregiver come daily. Rarely did that happen. I’m not sure what training if any do they provide but some of the caregivers that showed up would not have been capable of caring for a dog let alone my loved one. Luckily a family member was always in the home with the caregiver for us. Highly recommend hidden cameras if you are leaving them alone. Attendance is horrible. No one would show up and the office wouldn’t know until you call them and inquire whether or not someone is coming. It then usually takes 30 to 45 minutes for someone to come. A visit by the company nurse to witness the care between the caregiver and the client lasted approximately one to three minutes. We all use to laugh about it after the nurse left. Never understood what the point of it was. I was very disappointed in this company. They give a beautiful presentation but deliver none of that. I see the commercials for this company and I can guarantee the owner of this company would be horrified if I told her some of the stories of the caregivers that showed up. We were lucky a family member was there to protect.

Continuity of care, like having the same person, would have been helpful. I needed help 3 times a week and they sent me different people every time. I was sent 6 different people and it was hard for me to re-orient the aids every time. I needed someone that could stay here and come back every time so that we could be efficient.

Maria needs constant companionship. If she is left alone, she gets very anxious. It is a big relief for my dad and my brother because they don't have to be with her 24/7. They have a large pool of caregivers, so if someone can't make it, there will be a replacement. We have had them for 2 years and only 3 times they have not been able to send a replacement.

It was just for a few days, so there was no impact. I was just upset that that woman left. I was upset for a few days. My mother was laying in bed, and this lady just said that she was leaving because of an emergency. My mother was left alone for who knows how long. I was upset the most because I pay for someone to be there. She just left, and it's unclear if my mother was left alone for hours or what. There is a wide variety in the skill level of women who came. Something happened with BrightStar Care that has never happened to me before. The caregiver just left my mother alone before the next caregiver came. I didn't even find out for two or three days. They said they were trying to call me, but I had no missed calls, so the office lady was lying.
