It takes stress off of me to know someone is there with him. He is staying active. They are outright and forward with staffing issues.

They have made my life easier by helping me with food. I would be more likely to recommend them if they had more employees. I can't get people to cover all of the hours I need.

When I get a good aide, they take me to my doctor's appointments and help me run my errands. They also tidy my apartment. There needs to be more aides available for their needed shifts.

The caregiver has helped me the most by taking care of my apartment, grocery shopping, and bathing. They are so considerate I have had a lot of health issues and they are with me. When I got home they called to make sure that the caregiver was coming as well as what kind of job she was doing. I couldn't do it without BrightStar.

Everything was pretty good, but sometimes they'd call out. Then we'd have to scramble to find someone to help us if we had to go somewhere. They had a shortage of help at times, so we couldn't get the same person a lot of the times.

The availability, flexibility, and that the caregiver from BrightStar was willing to work with us in terms of the change in needs were so helpful to us. I like the amount of one on one interaction we had with BrightStar Care and they were able to find a suitable caregiver as needed and were very flexible.

They help the most with everyday living. They are very supportive and do their job. They make me laugh when I am stuck indoors due to COVID. They keep me upbeat and positive. The owner needs to improve his ability to talk to the patients. He is kind of rude and not very nice. He is only nice when he first tries to get you. The patient is not important. I left a message many weeks ago and he has not responded.

It is stressful for me because I can't relax for those 3 hours. I address concerns with the caregivers about what to do with her and they don't do it. They call off often and they leave early. It is not necessarily a function of BrightStar but of who they hire, the very first caregiver came once then called off then quit, and we are on our fourth caregiver and it has only been 2 months since we hired them.

They do a fantastic job. They are understaffed, and there are times where they say that they can't cover a shift, or if they do, it is with someone different. I appreciate that they try their best to send the same person every time. She likes being able to go grocery shopping on the day she wants to go. She appreciates the companionship.

My husband is harder than most, and he does not cooperate with things they tell him to do. It's mainly on him and not them. My main problem is that I do not feel that I can get what I really want with in-home care. I wanted to have one consistent caregiver so my husband would get acquainted with that person and get to know them. We have had five different caregivers in a month and half. I feel they are trying hard, but we have not been able to reach that goal.

My caregiver has really helped me to become more independent. My caregiver finds ways to include me during the day around the house and finds things that I can do. I'm more active. Before BrightStar Care, no one did that for me. The caregiver they found me is very knowledgeable and fits perfectly well with me. We get a long really well. My caregiver is really smart and we get along very well.
