Some caregivers are really good but do not stick around and some are really not a good fit. They really need to find a way to have continuity. The problem is that the people who have done a good job are outweighed by the bad caregivers.
They need to work on having continuity with the caregivers. We really need consistent caregivers because it's so important for us.

I am not sure how the caregivers could have had a greater impact. The caregivers helped the most by being available.
I don't have any reason not to recommend the agency. I am not sure what the agency needs to improve on. I like the home care service. The availability of the service was great.

They have helped the most by assigning someone on time for us, even if it is on short notice.
I like the communication that they have with us, and they give us whatever we need from them.

They helped the most by just being knowledgeable and with the physical handling of my mother.
They were very responsive and helpful during that time.

I am relieved because I know that the client is being taken care of.
We were introduced to our case manager and I just loved her. She is very professional, casual, knowledgeable, and an excellent listener. I just felt very comfortable. She was upfront and she answered any questions. She was honest about what was expected.

They help me go to work. They just help me live - I wouldn't be able to even start my day without them.
It'd be good if they could have more staff members. There have been many times when I've needed to request someone but they couldn't find anyone to come in.

They have helped the most giving some stability and structure to mom's schedule.
I like the flexibility as far as communication. If someone else needs to be sent they are able to find someone to cover.

They have taken over his care as far as his personal care.
I like that they are responsive if I need something, and I think the people they employ are very well trained and polite.

There is nothing that they could have done that wasn't done. So much of the care depended on the personality of the people they sent. Things varied so much from person to person. It was not all consistent.
The coordinator in the office was very good at her job. She responded to what was needed.

He really needs their help. She is very competent.
There is one person in particular from BrightStar Care who helps my father. She has been with us for almost three years, and it has worked out well.

It's been fine. I don't think there's anything they can do, it's just my stage in life.
They've seemed to be on top of business. They have professional attitudes.

They report how my mother is doing every day, and that allows me to make adjustments for her.
The person who coordinates all of the aides is outstanding. She juggles a lot and when you need something done, she is there.

She needs assistance with all of her ADLs so the aides help with that and exercise.
They have high quality aides as well as nursing supervisors.

The service was not good.
I would be lying in bed crawling and screaming trying to get the attention of the aides, but they just slept in the other room. I had to call my son, and he found them in a deep sleep in the other room. The caregiver stopped up the toilet by putting things down it that they are not supposed to go down.

They need to be more involved and interested in the client instead of just sitting around.
The caregivers come, sit down, and are on their phones.

It means I can be confident that she is cared for during long hours of the day. It eases my stress.
They are very attentive, professional, and on top of whatever is going on. They make an effort to match aides to individuals.

My mom can't survive without someone helping her.
They make it very easy when I need more or less hours. The people are amazing.

There is nothing that is coming to mind. The only reason I didn't rate them higher is because the management was a little abrasive.
I would recommend people if the person lived in the location my loved one is at. I liked how the aides took time with my loved one. However, I don't think they were totally honest about why the aides would leave. They came sick, and my loved one can't be around sick people.

The manager and care coordinator Margaret is amazing.

They give my mom that break for four hours a day to get her stuff done knowing my dad is taken care of.
They look to be responsive, and they are very in tune with my loved one's needs.

Some of the nurses are very good because one nurse is very competent and has a lot of experience. In general, they are able to cover once one of the employees can't come. I wouldn't be able to take care of my mom and look after my family. I wouldn't be able to take care of my family and not be able to take care of my mom without them.

I wouldn't recommend BrightStar Care because the caregivers made us feel bad for help and sometimes there is a language barrier. When BrightStar Care were doing good, they were helpful. At the end, they weren't as helpful.

BrightStar Care is very efficient and they complete the work for me. My caregiver does everything I need including making my breakfast, and helping me shower.
