It's more helpful for me, because it gives me more free time. I can't watch her all the time. I've only had the service for a couple of weeks, so we're getting used to it.

Having an aide available helps me and my husband the most. I can reach out to them, and they are there as soon as I call them.

My aid helps me in the shop and other activities. They need to get more help, because when my aid is absent, it's hard for them to get someone to replace her.

I need someone 3 nights a week so I can get some sleep and recharge. I get to sleep when she comes. If someone new comes it's hard for me to get sleep because I do not know if I can trust them or not yet. The caregiver keeps calling out and has left in the middle of the shift. We need more reliable caregivers. We like her but she needs to be more reliable.

I wish this agency provided more physical therapy. This agency could improve by being in more contact with the care in regard to the caregiver.

My dad is used to a daily routine so when people do not come or it gets interrupted, it packs a punch. They could work on communication and longevity of employees.

I go to work all day and it makes my life easier. I like having someone here for her and occupy her time and make sure that she is safe. I like the aide that they provided for us. She is leaving us and that is sad.

I need people to take me to the doctors, but there was nobody available to take me. I then have to find a way to get to the doctors by myself. The agency doesn't make any attempt to help you. They are very uncaring.

They were good. We didn't need them that long. Once they were there he got himself situated at home. They helped him by cleaning and making him food. They helped him get dressed. The people I dealt with are great. I would say they are professional, courteous, and caring.

She only comes 3 nights a week and was late one time. Our mother had an issue with her first caregiver and didn't like her very much.

Before we hired them, I would have to take a day off work. They were just wonderful. They were caring and reliable. If the nurse couldn't come, they would find someone else to come.

My mother was not looking for aides and didn't really want them, but we feel it's necessary and has had an extremely positive impact. They are easy to communicate with, they listen to feedback, and have really been helpful.

I think they can have more consistent caregivers and the same one every day. I think they should listen to what the client wants and be more attentive.

They come to take her out shopping. They do what they can and what she wants to do. It is settled down now, but in the beginning, there was a lot of turnover. One week we would have somebody and then the next person would be different, so it was a little hectic.

They help her get ready for bed and night at get dinner. They have been very receptive to my mother's needs and when a caregiver didn't work out, they got rid of them right away and replaced them.

There isn't anything they can do to be better. They provide good aides that are pleasant and great to work with. We have liked the aide that has been coming on a regular basis. She is dependable and a great caregiver.

They need to spend some more time training their caregivers. The company needs to do a better job at screening their caregivers. The first caregiver I had didn't have much initiative and wouldn't do anything that I asked them to do. It took time, but we finally got a caregiver who was excellent.

They take care of my husband, which releases me from doing this all day. They are very dependable. The caregivers are well-trained. Sometimes they are late in sending out replacements.

The caregiver is able to do everything for my husband that I can't physically do. They cover all the bases and they stay on top of things. They call to see how things are going. They come and visit, they're very involved, and they're very interactive.

Someone is always there for her to prevent falls. They draw her bath when needed. They sent a nurse to evaluate the situation. They were in contact with my mother's physician. They are quick to change caregivers to meet the needs of my mother. They are very good that way.

If the caregiver is going to cancel or needs a day off, we need to have more advanced notice. The office people are very helpful after going through several caregivers that didn't work out well. My loved one is very private. They found a caregiver that my loved one enjoys having. But, BrightStar could improve. The RN that does the evaluations is supposed to do that every month and they stretch it to do it longer than every month.

I think they could motivate their clients more, I would like them to be more proactive. They could try to expedite their hiring process, it seems they don't have access to a qualified hiring pool. It seems like it takes a period of time to replace a caregiver.

We had an incidence in the beginning where the caregivers did not have a car, but the problem has been fixed. One of the caregivers is very good about driving my mom to the dentist or to get her hair done. They help her with meals and provide her with a companion. They help her get to where she needs to go.

I would tell a friend that BrightStar Care's caregivers are sympathetic to the parents of the spouse of the patient. It's been hard to adjust, but my wife is getting used to the service. There are a number of persons involved, but I'm satisfied. They help my wife sleep, which helps me sleep.

The hospital didn't have anybody, so they recommended Brightstar as an alternative. All my sister needed was companionship and people who take her out. She just goes out the door, she goes grocery shopping, and we're hoping she goes to museums. It's just basically to reduce the tension within the home. There was just too much tension going on because she had a brain surgery a year ago. Since the brain surgery, she has developed cognitive and behavioral issues, and she did not want to go into a nursing home. Originally, we had somebody coming five days a week, but now we have somebody coming in three days a week. So it's not perfect, but at least it's livable. She's fine with taking care of herself. What she needs is companionship because otherwise once she's here with us and just sits with us all day long, she starts getting argumentative and fights back. Basically it's just to get her to go out of the house. The caregiver gets along really well with my sister. She's like a security blanket. She does not do any medical stuff. She's very happy with her. The person from Brightcare is helpful because she considers the person from Brightstar a friend, while she's suspicious of her family.
