They keep us in the loop. We are very pleased with the consistent, around the clock care. Overall, the care has been very good. The aides really seem to care.

It's given us a chance to do something and not have to leave him alone and have to worry. It's given us peace of mind that he is being taken care of. I like the people that they have sent out.

The caregiver was good at providing the care we needed. She was really good at making sure that he was comfortable and not in pain. The aide was a good aide, we just needed her to focus on her job respect some boundaries.

They provide great personal care and companionship. They are very good arriving on time. The aides at Brightstar Care are friendly, caring, professional and good listeners. They help you with things that you hadn't even though about. They are very likable. My daughter is very happy with the office communication, it has taken a burden from her. I am very pleased and thankful for their help.

Ashley is always on time and lets me know how far away she is and when she is coming. The medicine administration gives me a better quality of life. I like that they have been very reliable.

They take care of all of her needs since she is nonverbal and bed-bound. They are very thorough and they all do a very good job. I feel that they are doing a very good job taking care of my mother-in-law.

This is my first time doing something like this. Meagan helps my husband who has Alzheimer's. They gave me Meagan, our caregiver, who is on time and see to our needs.

Before I was getting care, I had a hard time getting out of bed because of my wound. It made my life difficult as a single dad. Cooking and laundry were nearly impossible. Their care has changed my life completely. They are dependable and very knowledgeable. They don't have a hard time helping you out.

I have to do this consistently, and it is a strain when the person doing it is not coming. The caregiver is consistent. I find them very easy to work with and friendly.

It has made it a bit easier for me because I don't have to be with him all the time. They are also taking care of housecleaning so I don't have to take care of two houses. Most of the aides are very good. However, there are ones from time to time that are not great.

They don't just do what they need to do, they talk to him and kid around with him. I like the communication that they have given us and effort to fill in hours.

Often times I felt like I would give specific instructions to the person that was in charge of the aide and the aides wouldn't get those specific instructions. They really made an effort to keep placing people.

They could have been more considerate, and have better communication. I had called the company and talked to the vice president and the owner of the franchise and nothing was ever really resolved.

They come consistently and I'm really grateful that they're hanging in there. I don't know if they can improve their services. Occasionally we have someone exceptional, but it's usually just average workers. They could maybe just use more training.

It allows our family members to take my dad out for the day, without having to worry about the laundry or cleaning. It also allows my dad to have company and someone to converse with. We like the fact that we can work with them and get a consistent aide.

It is very helpful. I have to run a dance studio, and my mother is 100, so she can't help. He changes him, cooks meals for him, and will put something on for him. He does all that he is supposed to do, but it would be nice to have him clean up more and get the laundry done. We definitely need him. We only have one person now from BrightStar that knows what he is doing, but he leave a lot of things undone. For example, my brother is bed-bound, so if anything spills, it stays on the floor. The aides that come the next day have to clean it up.

It makes a big impact because I can get out of the house once in a while and get a rest from the drudgery of day and night duties for him. I have had bad experiences, but mostly good ones. Most of the caregivers are very good.

All of us were working, but we needed to do a blood sugar reading three times a day, so the agency made it very easy for us to get my mother's diabetes control. They were able to perform the tasks that we asked them to do. They made the experience extremely easy for us as a family in regards to caring for my mother's diabetes. They kept journals that the family was able to see.

They need to have their people take more training. It would help a lot if they had more training. I have to show them everything and they send too many people out here at once. They need to have follow-up. They need to have staff training.

What they could do is come assist with more of the plan for the health care. Sometimes they are unsure of what to actively do with my brother, or who they are working with. I have given ideas but constant reminders and making sure they are prepared would be helpful. We are using them for memory care and they don't seem to have a grasp on Alzheimer's or what is entailed with it.

I don't know how they could make things easier. I am very independent. I think they did what I asked them. They were not allowed to give my loved one their medications, and I did not care for that. I used them on a couple different occasions, and we liked the aides assigned. They did very well with my loved one.

The provider could have a greater impact by them providing me a caregiver to come to me every week. A negative experience I've had is that they cannot provide me with a person to come and they don't understand the problem.

Sometimes, they are understaffed and when one of the regular caretakers cannot make it in they have a problem finding a back up. They could have more trained staff available.

BrightStar Care does well because they try to get the caregivers here on certain days but sometimes I have to wait to get a caregiver. BrightStar Care has given me caregivers that I have had some problems with. I had to get rid caregivers before. Then I had to do the work all by myself.

BrightStar Care sent caregivers that weren't really trained. I was told they were trained, but didn't see much training to deal with our needs with Parkinson and dementia. It didn't seem like the caregivers ever wanted to do cleaning. I also had some money missing from our house.

I wasn't too happy with the caregiver that BrightStar Care sent me because I had to keep telling her to do thing over and over. However, I cannot criticize the company over the one caregiver that didn't do her job. I totally depended on my caregiver to do things that I cannot do myself.

BrightStar Care does their job, and they know what they are doing. We have three caregivers right now, and they are all conscientious, and will jump in to do the work even when mom is asleep. BrightStar Care gives me some time off from caring for mom. They are there since mom can't be alone.

I am less likely to recommend BrightStar Care because the caregiver has not been doing their work correctly. I had to complain because the caregiver was doing crafts and scarfs at the table and not helping my mother. This week the caregiver did do the homemaking tasks such as changing the bedding. Everything was done when I came home this week. The caregiver could make a more positive impact by changing the bedding, cleaning the bathroom, helping with the dishes, and making dinner when I am not here.
