My doctor believes the care is helping me. The caregiver guides me to find answers to questions I have.
I like that they are very professional. The caregiver is always on time and very pleasant.

Someone comes one day a week, but that one day is very important. They provide care to my husband.
I like the dependability, communication, the competence, and listening abilities of the staff that comes out, and they are dependable.

It was awesome to have help. I took care of him full-time, so I needed someone to help, so I could have a break for myself.
When we were looking for care, we were on a limited timeline. I loved how quickly BrightStar Care was able to get in and help us.

We recently got a new caregiver, and we really like her; she is attentive and engaged.

They have been very helpful. They handle so many things I would have to do myself that would make me tired. They give me showers.
I would recommend them because the caregivers always get here on time.

Some of them could transfer her, some others couldn't. All of them were friendly, but the caregivers need more training.
My mom needed a lot more than the caregivers do, but they do what they could.

It's been somewhat positive but also somewhat disappointing. She hasn't been emptying the wastebaskets like she said she would.
I need help cleaning Larry's room. The light housekeeping is what we understood we would get.

They mop the floors and take out the trash. They help her to the bathroom. They make her a meal.
We haven't been using them that long. They should be a little more consistent with their caregivers.

I get infusions every week for the rest of my life. It's kind of inconvenient, but what can you do - you have to be able to breathe properly. I like that she comes out to me.
My nurse is very prompt, most of the time. She is very kind. She's very gentle. She does my infusions.

BrightStar Care is doing what they can as far as I can see to get people here as no one wants to work.
BrightStar Care is having issues getting caregivers to me, and the care I get is fine, but it is hard to get someone over to me.

They help me a lot to take care of him. I can have a bit of a break to get some sleep.
I like that they try to keep the same people as much as possible. I don't like a lot of people in and out of the house.

Having the agency around is helpful because they help me with my personal hygiene, and they do things that I couldn't do.
I would recommend the agency because they are just very efficient, and I am happy with the services provided.

My sister and I were in a panic because our Mom, who has Alzheimer's was going to be released from the hospital soon with a new feeding tube. One of the CNAs at the hospital recommended Brightstar for home care and we're so glad she did. They got us signed up on VERY short noticed and had someone at our home to help the day after Mom got discharged.
Right now my Mom needs total care, help with hygiene, dressing, everything --and they even helped with the laundry --which wasn't expected but greatly appreciated ;)
We love the personal home helper and the nurse that came out to do the assessment. everyone has been friendly, professional, punctual and very helpful. We don't know what we would have done without them. I highly recommend this agency

I'm grateful for the help, but we are not fully staffed to the point where I feel comfortable.
The company needs to hire more staff and train their staff better. I also always seem to get a new person and instead of them coming in. I have to take time to train them in what to do each time.

If my dad doesn't tell them what to do I don't know what they're doing. I don't know if they're actively trying to find stuff to do.
They need to have consistent people. They have a hard time finding people to come consistently.

She only gets service two hours, two days a week.
There needs to be more consistency with the caregivers coming. There is a favorite one that we were told we were going to get, but we only get her only every other time.

Without them, she would have gone to a nursing home and possibly died there without family members. They came through at the last minute and significantly changed her life.
I used two agencies and they were the better choice by far. The best thing was that they were so professional. My dad got Covid from another agency's nurse and so they ended up dropping my family. This agency kept sending caregivers which was what we needed. They really came through for my family.

They hire qualified and good nurses.
I get infusions once a month and I have some difficult veins and they found a nurse who can take care of the IV's and not hurt me, which I really appreciate.

I think the caregivers need to be better informed of what they should be doing. There needs to be a policy where the caregivers can't be on their phone during their shift.
The agency needs to improve the quality of their caregivers.

I am 80 years old and my husband is frequently up at night. I am having a problem getting him up and down any stairs. It takes both Linda and I to help him get down the three stairs and go into the shower. Without them I wouldn't be able to manage.
They can have better communication. I have asked if I have had time accumulating. They always tell me they will check and get back to me. They always say that but never do.

It was very helpful to my husband. They took him out to exercise and stayed with him. That helped get it the way for a little while.
They can give classes to the girls as to what is expected of them more. They should be oriented as to what they should be doing. I don't know if they do that.

I would like her to start accepting help with bathing but she is not ready for that yet. The cleaning is taking a huge load off of her companion and herself.
There was someone who came and took the time to sit down with us and explain all the options. Everything was flexible and there was no long term commitment. The amount of hours was flexible.

I have BrightStar Care West Lake County for 2 hours every day. They come in, they clean up my husband and then they leave. So they do their job, though he doesn't need a lot of care. We've already been using their services for more than a year. They also do other things, they might make him a light breakfast which is minimal, they'll go get him his shoes and things like that. The caregiver is different every day. I wish I could get a caregiver every day and I don't have to tell them where the silverware is, or the cups are and so on. Every day I have to tell a different person. So nobody gets to know each other or even know where to find the towel, soap, the basin, and everything to wash my husband. In terms of the billing, they take it right out of my visa card. I would recommend them if someone for the most part just needs minimal help. The caregivers are not able to change bandages, or put medicine on, or give someone medicine. Aides can't do that.
