If it was cheaper or if they took insurance, it would be helpful.
People are professional and I feel safe having them around.

It helped me get back on my feet.
They seem to know what they are doing.

The agency could make my life easier by making sure the caregivers are on time and the tasks are being done.
The agency could be better by matching the caregiver and clients better.

They called and let me know how it went.
The agency was not perfect, but it was better than the services I had used before.

When Brightstar is covering so many shifts, it gives me a break.
They have good communication. They meet scheduling needs. The quality of some of the aides has been really good.

It takes a lot of stress off of me.
They are always willing to help out in a pinch. We have had some great staff members.

My nurse has helped me the most by being very responsive and is always there for help.
I like that the nurse has been great.

They could have more consistency with the caregivers. He was assigned a caregiver the first week, and they stopped being able to do that shift, so they assigned new caregivers, and then the next week someone was fired or quit, and then now we have caregivers that don't show up.
I would like more consistency.

They relieved anxiety for us.
We were very satisfied, they obviously cared. The caregiver even called and checked in after we had discontinued.

The gals that were sent stayed on their phones and weren't very attentive to him. One of them fell asleep.
The most frustrating thing was the scheduling.

Mrs. Wilkes is in an assisted living facility. The aide is only there for companion care so that she has a familiar face.
I just feel like they probably do their best. I think they work well with me and my specific requests.

They are able to do the things that I am unable to do. She is younger which helps a lot.
I like the caregivers that have been sent that end up staying. They have done a very good job.

The most important thing that the agency did for us was get a person here quickly by setting up the first visit promptly.
I'd tell a friend that the caregiver that came out was on time and very flexible.

My parents needed help with errands and housekeeping, but not the medical needs.
I would like to see the agency improve their promises when they say someone is going to come.

The caregivers should be introduced to the clients, to come up with a specific plan of care.
They are pretty good, a lot of the caregivers know what to do.

Some of the aides were lazier than others and did not do much for my mother.
They were true to their word. They did not miss one shift in five months. They did what it took to care for my mom.

They could have done more check ins and on site visits.

He would try to get out of bed, and they made sure he didn't or that he wouldn't hurt himself. They kept him clean if he wet himself.
I like that they are very good at finding us lots of caregivers in a short amount of time.

They could have given me the caregiver I wanted every day. We kept telling them what we wanted, and they would never do it.
They should give the customer what they want.

Calvin would call us back and follow up with us.
The caregivers were very in tune with her, and they kept us up to date on updates.

It is nice having just one caregiver coming each week to help.
They worked hard to get the schedule to where it works well for my mother, it took a while, but they did it.

They could send us experienced caregivers who are more observant.
They need to communicate better and get better caregivers.

If I did have our caretakers I don't know what I would do. They help me to do things that I cannot do by myself.
The caregiver is absolutely excellent and I consider her a godsend.

Sometimes people would help me with getting someplace.
I think that part of it is because it comes out of their office, there is some inflexibility on the part of the schedule.

The caregivers would go above and beyond for us. They wanted the best care for her.
The staff was very qualified.

There are activities that I cannot do, and they do them for me.

We had a little misunderstanding about the time frame that I wanted in the beginning but that was worked out. It is nice to have someone here with the pandemic.

It made it so I could go home. I live in a different state than my mother so by having them it helped her ensure she could eat because at the care facility she was not getting food.
It was all during COVID-19 so nothing was normal. The only challenge I had with them was consistency. I had worked with two ladies and trained them up with everything they needed to know about my mother, and then within 2 weeks, there were new ladies coming and going.

This score is an average for the aides. They made sure she was safe when she had a seizure. They were very good at letting me know when she had appointments, and they took her places safely.
I like they had a nurse to do the assessment, and they had a binder that the aides could document things in. They were very good at making and following the care plan. I would definitely use them again for other clients of mine.

We finally got a really good home care worker from them. She was dependable and willing to do whatever was needed.
The first couple of people had scheduling issues. One gal ended up not showing up, and there was no way to contact her.

The fact that he was covered at midnight allows me to sleep.

It makes a big impact because it has enabled me to start my mom's long-term health insurance. If she declines, I know that she will be needing them more, and it's nice to have the extra help.
I like that they are very helpful and attentive. Our caregiver is wonderful. They did a good job at matching my mom. They answer the phone when I call.

I just don't know how well he is receiving it, but it just gives him some activities to do and things to look forward to do because he does not participate much in them.

They met all of her needs and she became friends with the aides, especially one in particular. She depended on them to do her bidding, and they learned her routines. If she was asleep, they would wait and then coax her into getting up and getting around to see people in the facility.
They made her time much better. They really paid attention to detail and they were compassionate even though she was difficult at some times.

I was a little bit nervous about the care. The provider could have sent a caregiver that fit better, and that is still my main concern. They were not very nice to me.

They have made life easier by coordinating 24-hour care seamlessly.
I would tell a friend that it is easy to use BrightStar Care. I wasn't satisfied with the model of the home care provider I had and chose BrightStar Care because of their reputation.

The provider could have a greater impact by having better office help. They don't communicate with each other.

They caregiver was responsible for feeding him dinner and there were several times she yelled at him for not eating.

They could have told us that the kind of care my sister was talking with them about was inappropriate for my father. They should have listened to my father, as the client, and directed their conversations towards him.
Severing ties with BrightStar Care had to do with an internal family disagreement about my father's needs. I felt like Kelvin, the manager, and the nurse, didn't advocate for my father. They seemed to have no understanding of the care of someone his age. They were more interested in sales rather than his welfare.

She needs assistance because she can't get out of a wheelchair on her own.
They pay great attention to detail, they are always on top of any issues that we should be aware of, and the owner will go and meet with my loved one. He also went and took care of her hearing aides on his own time.

I find them helpful. They've helped me go to my appointments and accompany me there.
I think they're sensitive to the care and about the person and are willing to work with you with getting help for your needs.

They could have met with the representatives and go over the care.
They aren't reliable for having staff to show up and that reflects on me and the families.
Barbara D_3
They'd have to do a whole lot for me to recommend them more. They could have gotten a caregiver that was available. I was given a caregiver that was not available and then when she was here, she would not do her job. BrightStar Care could have been more available.

They are very good. They do an excellent job. They are kind, pleasant, and friendly. They come in here and take care of my bathroom, my bed, and watch me take a shower.

What comes to me is the fact that we've had some really good caregivers and I finally called and said that I wanted more mature caregivers as opposed to the younger caregivers because they have more life experience, and so for the most part, they've sent more mature caregivers. The fact that I can plan and use different hours has helped me the most because normally I was getting someone three times a week in the mornings but I needed to make changes to that and I found that very convenient.

They are quick to provide services and they have quality care takers. There was an event here in Michigan and one of the caregivers was unable to come to my father's house. They were able to have my parent's other caregiver stay a little bit longer.

They were prompt, polite, and did everything they needed. My husband warmed up to them immediately. They had a wonderful rapport. Two caregivers even came to his funeral. They allowed me to do my own thing, and they just took over.

I have only had one negative experience with the company. I was 15 minutes late to get home, and when I arrived, the caregiver stormed out of the house. I was parked behind her, so I had to move my car, and she did not speak with me or give me her number to call her. She just stormed out without talking to me. Then I found out she did not really provide any services to my mom that day. Other than that, my mom has been very pleased with all the other caregivers. They feed her and keep her company. They keep her happy.

I would recommend BrightStar Care because the caregiver that they sent was wonderful with my dad! She handled just about anything that came her way with grace, and there were some times when I wouldn't have wanted to tackle it! The service has made my life easier because the caregiver helps my father, prepares his meals, and does his laundry.

The caregivers go above and beyond. Our life is easier because our caregivers do things that our family just can't handle.
Patrick B
BrightStar Care's caregivers are clean, they are straight up, they do a good job, they ask you what they can and cannot do, and they are able to provide good care. There are things I cannot do on my own so my caregiver help to fill in for the things I am not able to do.

I think that Bright Star Home Care in Ann Arbor, Michigan is an excellent choice for someone who is independent and who prefers to live independently in the privacy of their own home and who is looking for some outside supportive care, services and assistance with their activities of daily living for them self, a friend, or for a loved one. They provide Medical and Non-Medical home care to their clients. They also provide their services to adults and the elderly. They provide personal care, home supplies and services, outside support for their clients as well. They also provide skilled care in addition to Alzheimer's and Dementia care for their clients.
They also provide respite, short term and long term care to their clients. They also provide companion services, grocery shopping caregivers, therapist, physicians and skilled licensed nurses to their clients. In addition to they also provide various other supportive services and assistance to their clients that are tailor fitted to fit into their clients individual plans of care. In general, I would rank Bright Star Home Care with a five stars rating for their excellence in home care.
