They provide care for my father that he needs, clean him up when needed and help do things he is unable to due to the stroke. I like that they are very responsive to requests.

They have helped the most because it helps me maintain a nearly normal life. I like them because they seem to be relatively selective with the people they send and they keep me well-informed. They keep track of their people and if I have anything, they respond.

The client was very fearful after her fall to be alone. The caregivers have helped the most by being kind and considerate. They have put her needs first and she feels very safe with them there in the home. I like that they are extremely responsive. They are very empathetic. I have cried on the phone with them. They answer immediately and take care of whatever it is that we need.

It's helping her if they help her take her medication. She hasn't been taking it and this is why she's back in the hospital. Some days are better than other days. I saw their ads on TV and they're a good company. Sometimes there is a language gap between the people who are trying to help my cousin and my cousin. There isn't understanding of the English language.

They help him with his day to day living. They assist him in eating, personal care, and hygiene. They are very prompt, they always show up on time, and thus far the people have been pleasant to deal with.

They need to hire people who can handle things. Their caregivers need better training. They were not professional.

They help with my husband's exercise, washing in the morning, feeding him, giving him company, someone to talk to, and someone to joke with. The home aides are very caring, and they give it 110 percent when they are here, especially with the man we have.

The services were helpful because the caregiver was my eyes and ears. They would always call or text me to let me know how things were going. They responded whenever our full-time caregiver wasn't around. I tried to have the same caregiver come, and the agency tried to accommodate that.

BrightStar was there for my father in-law following a recent fall. Their aides are wonderful. They speak English clearly and made his recovery at home so much easier. Their nurse met my father in law when he arrived at home and services started immediately. Their scheduler was also very helpful in explaining everything and making sure we had our favorite aides. Thank you so much!

I think some of their people could give more feedback in terms of my dad. I am very happy with one of the people they have given me, but sometimes, the quality of the people can be a little below average.

They kept my brother safe and provided personal care. When we called them, we needed help immediately, and they got help in there immediately. It was a difficult case at times, and they had two workers that were just outstanding.

There was a time when we had to start the services back up, but it took a while to get things started again. I had to take some days off to make up for it. We've had some issues periodically about not being notified when a caregiver isn't available when we need them.

They could have communicated to us that they were having difficulty finding someone in a better manner. I don't think their one on one was good at all.

They could have called me ahead of time to let me know the name of the aide coming. I think they should all be wearing some type of smock with the name of the company and an ID with their name, so I know who they are. It is very professional when they do that and only two of them do that. I was dissatisfied with some of the aides and satisfied with others. I don't know if they are aware of it. Some were nice and dedicated and others not so much.

When I came home, we found our baby left on the sofa, and I was not happy about that. My oldest son also said that the caregiver had fallen asleep on the sofa. I had some issues with the company I found out after the care.

I'd like to have the caregivers better trained in understanding how to provide assistance for someone who had been in rehab. I'd like better trained caregivers, just all around in knowing the job.

They were able to assess my mother's situation on a daily basis and provide for her needs. They were a great help to my mother. They sent the perfect caregiver. My mother is very difficult. She has Dementia and is incontinent. We needed someone who could take care of her and talk down and the caregiver is great.

By providing the care they did, we didn't have to be there. We had 24/7 hour care with the company and family members. It gave us peace of mind in the evening because we mostly had them in the evening hours. They were always able to accommodate us with the scheduling.

She had low blood sugar, and the caregiver recognized the symptoms. They gave her some orange juice and sat a little longer with her. I think the nurses aides are great, but the management is not that great. The management has a temper with me.

It impacted me because it was unreliable and work was not getting done the way it should have been done. The quality of the caregivers and their work ethic is bad.

They don't have a lot of people that can drive. I have a hard time getting the right caregivers. Their policy is that unless the caregiver has a driver's licence, they can't come in the car with me, and that makes it hard. It's a big deterrent. If I have to go to a doctor's appointment, the caregiver has to stay home and it's not worth having the caregiver.

The services allow me time to get out and do things I need to do. There are times where I feel like I have to stay and show the new aides where things are and acclimate them to the place and to my father. The professionalism of the aides stand out the most. The caregivers we have had the most that take of our father have been good. Some haven't done well, but that may be due to the lack of training. My father has dementia.

The office staff was very helpful, and the person chosen to come to my home seems to be a good fit for my family. My husband has Alzheimer's, so even I do not have a large impact on his life.

It is a different scenario. They matched my mother with someone that was older who can cope with her. They understand her frailties. They aren't on the phone every time. It is a different maturity level. My mother has dementia. She can sort of function on her own. They ignite what is left of her memory and everything. It has made a big impact on her. I can see a difference. I can tell the days they have been with her.
