They made sure I had the help I needed. My helper makes sure I have everything I need.
When I have problems they stay on top of it. They make sure I am happy with the caregiver. They took everything personally.

They put a lot of care into getting me a nurse that actually fit what I wanted in a nurse. They remember my birthday.
I like the nurse that they assigned to me. I like the respect and courtesy. They treat me like a human being.

They are only here twice a week, and they are busy. I do chit-chat with them.
They do the job quickly. I know my mother has some issues with folding clothes, but I am fine with it.

They help me exist since I can't move anything from the neck down.

The caregiver she had was lovely and helpful, but could have been a little more aggressive as far as getting her to do certain things.
I like that they were responsive when I had questions or concerns.

They need to be more reliable.
They just can't seem to keep employees. They don't get people out when they're suppose to so my mother hasn't been showered on multiple occasion.

The provider was available when our family couldn't take care of my uncle.
BrightStar was able to be flexible with my uncle and family's schedule.

They were responsible. They were better than our current agency is sometimes.
I'd tell a friend that they were able to help me and that they made a special effort which was nice because they made a special effort to hire people.

The service is terrible. BrightStar could train their people better.

I am not sure what they could improve on, but they really tried getting me a quality caregiver.
I would like them to improve on training the employees the about the importance of doing a job.

The caregivers that I have do excellent work.
The company needs to notify me when a caregiver can't come.

They help me with stuff I can't do by myself.
They are great to work with and the staff is updated.

The most helpful part of the care is the fact that I get along so good with the caregiver. It is a pleasure to work with them.
I like that the caretaker has been with my for about six years.

They can train their people better, they can find people that have pride in their work.
They need to work on their communication, and their training.

I wouldn't be here without my caregiver. BrightStar Care was willing to hire my daughter to take care of me. I wouldn't have anyone else.
The caregivers do a good job and they couldn't be better.

They should hire good quality people and keep them long enough to actually support their clients. I know the director has been filling in because they don't have enough caregivers.
Right now, I am not getting the full time of care that I need, and that is not OK. I am supposed to have them every day for a few hours and right now I am getting them maybe one day a week. They do not have a reliable service.
Raymond B4-U-CGL-21 J_1

They always take tasks and ask if they can help me in any other ways. The people that work for them seem to be pretty good people. I appreciate them being here every day that they are supposed to be here.
I do not see any faults on anything. I have not had any complaints with them. The people I deal with are real good. Anything I need, if I have a problem with something, they take care of it for me.

I've had some problems with staffing and I don't know if the office is supposed to come out and handle problems, but they haven't. I had one person who left the company who would come out when I didn't have any help. I've been left a few times by myself when they couldn't find any help, especially on weekends.
The caregivers are down-to-earth, try hard to please me, and I'm happy with who I have.

It's really helping me out because I live so far away so my neighbors can't help me.
The girl I have now is great.
Donna C_5
March 09, 2020
The most helpful part was during the work. She was very good with my mom and explained everything she was doing.
The weekend coverage was poor. One person never showed up and didn't call. When we called about it they didn't get back to us for a while. The Sunday caregiver did very minimal. The weekly care was the same person and she was great.

When they show up, they are average. They can make it easier by doing what they say will by coming out and not overcharging.
They can improve a lot, because they don't send people. The billing is so confusing, because they were supposed to be charged $100 per day, but one time, they billed my parents $1100 for a day.

They could have been more supportive and willing to do certain things. I have a brain injury, so I repeat myself. I don't need to be told that I am repeating myself, because it's frustrating enough as it is.
I didn't have any independence, and my wishes weren't recognized.

They could of made my life easier by having a caregiver that knew how to take care of a disabled 80 year old.
I would like for them to improve by having people that know how to clean instead of a high school girl that doesn't know anything.

They impact my life because I am not getting help. They need someone in here who can work three days a week, will come to work when they are supposed to, and do the job they are supposed to do.
They don't have people that come in that want to work. The people in the office that I have talked with seem to be pretty good. They need to do better hiring and screen their future employees better. They need good references.

They should do what they said they were going to do, and do their job. They need to communicate better to the caregiver what is needed.
They need to communicate. They promised me a weekly report and I have not received one. They do not communicate with the caregiver. They have left pills out that he could have taken because he has Alzheimer's.

Even though the individuals were here, it didn't help me as much as I thought it was going to. I thought there would be more impact, but it wasn't as impactful as I thought.
I'm not absolutely sure. I'm not dissatisfied with one or two individuals. They fired one bad person. They need to lower their rates.

They do make my life easier. When I called them and asked them if I could come back they said yes and they let me provide my own caregiver after the one they sent didn't work out.
The first caregiver I had would call off, leave early, and say she was working when she really wasn't. She didn't do much, she was just smoking cigarettes. The caregiver I have now does really well.
