The agency was prompt and on time and I didn't have to worry about anything. I liked the agency because all the nurses were awesome.

They are dependable. She can't walk without them. We've been using them a long time. They check up on who they send. We're happy.

They have provided aides that are caring. They could prevent cancelations due to low staffing.

They help me shower. The original communication between the nurse that came out and when they would come out was very different.

The sitters took very good care of my father-in-law. They are the only sitting services that we used before, and they are the only one that we have experience with.

I needed post surgery assistance on short notice last month. BrightStar quickly put together a plan which provided the requested assistance, and also allowed me the flexibility to extend if needed. The staff – – including the administrators and schedulers, the registered nurse, and the home care providers – – were first rate, courteous and responsive. I highly recommend this organization!

It's important, the provider has helped her mostly with a shower. I like that they do all the things that my mom has asked them to do.

I have help and all the care would fall on me without them. The director is very responsive to anything that I need such as if I don't need the services one week, they will change it very quickly.

I was a little concerned if the caregiver would be good so I was a little bit nervous but then she was excellent so because of the great service my daughter was in great hands. BrightStar did a personalized assessment of the client's needs and I felt that my concerns were listened to. The right person was chosen for our needs so it was an excellent service.

They need to have the caregivers to come or tell us what is going on. For the nurse that comes is really good but the caregiver is a hit or miss.

We didn't use them a ton, but they were good when we did use them. Everything was good, the only thing was that we have insurance where they weren't getting what they needed from BrightStar Care to get us reimbursed.

They help most by taking me to the doctor and getting me something to eat. I finally got a caregiver that I like. She works out well. The first two were horrible but I have now my caregiver is great. We are very compatible.

It is just that they give me peace of mind to know someone is here with my mother when I am not here and they give her company. There have been times when they call me to say someone is not going to make it and then they do not have any replacements. That is a hard situation to be in because then I have to cancel my appointments.

They only cared about raking in the money and paying their caregivers only $10. That is pathetic. The caregivers were pretty good most of the time. It seems like their priorities aren't really in taking care of people. We had a problem with a caregiver and they didn't call us to say sorry for what happened. It was completely swept under the rug. The business model is pathetic. They try to get the cheapest help for their company. And you get what you pay for. Eventually I spoke to the owner about it.

Show up on time and follow through on medications instead of going to sleep. Improve with people showing up at all and on time. One person went to sleep.

I pretty much did their job for them, and all they needed to do was show up and give the medications that I had laid out. When I talked to the manager, she was excellent, but her hands are tied on this. They could be on time when distributing medication. It is not appropriate to bring children and they should look professional when they are showing up. One time, no one ever showed up and another time, someone came in late with her daughter and curlers in her hair.

They keep her alive basically. Some of the caregivers will come in, sit on their phones, and not engage with her. Some of the caregivers are better than others. They could improve some of the caregiver's skills.

I used to have them administer, but now the facility does that for her. When I am not here, it makes a huge impact on me. I am very grateful. They are very pleasant. The people they sent for transportation have been friendly. There was one time they didn't get her there on time, but they also didn't bill us for that transportation.

We've asked BrightStar Care to make sure my mother takes her pills twice a day, and they do a great job of that. She thinks she can do it herself, but we realize that she needs that help. They are friendly, professional, and are always on time. They do what we ask them to do.

They could improve on a logging in and log out book for medications. I like the RN that oversees the program, they are very responsive. They could improve the communication between the caregivers.

One caregiver went to the hospital with me and stayed there until I had my surgery and then brought me home. She stayed with me all day in the surgery room and then took me home. They take good care of me. I have two people that do everything they are supposed to. The one I have at night is very cordial. The only bad experience I have had was with the one that came in the morning. She just sat down in the rocking chair and watched TV the whole time.

They have sent out caregivers that have seemed to be trained enough to know what they are doing. My needs are random so we do not have a consistent caregiver. They enable me to get out of the house for a little bit.

This is a great company. The girls that we had were absolutely amazing. They taught me a lot on how I can help take care of my dad and they would always go the extra mile. When the service ran out and we had to say goodbye to these girls, I think we actually cried. They would come in and help my father bathe and dress and they would even ask to do things we didn't need them to do. When the services ran out, my father sent them both thank you cards because he loved them so much.

I would tell others that the BrightStar Care owners care, but when dealing with the aides, I've only had one good out of four so far. The caregivers are supposed to come in, help June get up and give her a shower. They are also supposed to get her breakfast, clean her room and bathroom. They should keep her entertained, but some of the caregivers don't do all of this.
