The caregivers could be more knowledgeable. They could know more about what they are doing.

This has been a help, but it hasn't been overly helpful just because my parents don't need a whole lot. They are great with scheduling. My parents have felt comfortable with who they have come over.

I don't have to worry about my dad because I know they are there. I wish they had more staffing. There are times when people just don't show up.

They have helped the most by keeping order in the house. For the most providers have been great, and the response of the person of the coordinating it has been fabulous.

They had the driver here exactly when I wanted him to be here. He was very nice and very pleasant. He was exactly picking me up when I wanted him to. I like that they are very efficient. They listen when you talk to them and explain what you need.

The nurse was meant to be changing the skin barrier, and she wasn't doing it correctly. I had someone call me and say she weren't coming, and BrightStar said they couldn't have her do it.

They could have more fill ins when the caregiver can't come in. I would like if they were to be more consistent with the caregiver.

The caregivers did not always show up, so they were unreliable. Over the time I had service, I only had two reliable aides. Danielle, one of the schedulers, excused my aide not coming because of the gas shortage. The aide herself told me that the company wanted her to go to another job. I knew my aide, and it was a bold faced lie.

The caregivers showed up late and would leave early. The staff needs to be more professional.

The services are certainly a benefit to him and therefore to me. I am able to go shopping. We would recommend them, we have had three different caregivers and were very satisfied. However, we did have to loose a caregiver, and it wasn't Bright Star's fault, but mandatory inculcation for the caregivers wasn't possible at the time, and that was our only caveat because we had to lose a caregiver due to that.

They're very helpful. I'm well over 90 years old so anything helps. Every little bit helps me. It was adequate. I don't get around much anymore so I need at home arrangements. It's difficult to make arrangements, that's the biggest problem.

They have helped us the most by giving us the ability to have him at home instead of a facility. I would tell a friend that they try very hard to meet the clients needs.

They have a few aides that are good. When they show up they do good most of the time. The new hire and the one that comes in the morning are good. Some caregivers complain about doing basic caregiver work. I would not recommend them. It's been off and on the whole time we've had them. It's a real nightmare. I was making calls again and then they hired a couple people.

They have left me alone a lot with no care when I needed help and did not have my husband with me. Truthfulness, clarity, and communication are the things that I would like to see improved. When I told them that my husband needed care, all she said what that people get to choose their own shifts.

When they get here, they need to know what they need to do for the patient. They should wash the laundry, no one has ever done that. They are supposed to change him in the bed and feed him. They need to show up on time, have people that show up, and they need to let us know if someone is not coming.

They help with personal care and give her a greater sense of independence. They need aides with a little more skill. We've had good people, but they're not consistent across the board.

I used them post surgery and I could not be down with Devon to give her care so they eased my mind to be able to help her with care. It was an easy process to get everything set up. They are responsive, and they are not stressful to deal with.

We are extremely pleased with the person they sent us, they are like family. I think the company just does not treat her as well. They are sporadic with their payrate and sporadic with the consistency of her pay. We have had the same personal care attendant since we started back in August of 2017. We love her and she is outstanding. She has taught him to do laundry.

I couldn't be there 24 hours a day in the nursing home. It gave me peace of mind knowing they would call me if they needed anything. They were able to pick up the service when I needed it immediately and were able to cover the very difficult times like weekends and nights.

I knew the aide was with my husband and that he was safe and secure, but I could not pay for full-time care and that is when he would tend to have falls. They were thorough in the preliminary set up of the care, and they strive to get him on a regular schedule with consistent.

They can have better scheduling and time management. They are sometimes in a hurry to leave, and they short change me for time because they are trying to make another appointment. They can improve with training on how to find our apartment and how to access us. I do not want to go get the door for them. I would like a little more on time caregivers.

The caregiver comes seems to be very well trained and knowledgeable. There is a little miscommunication between the office and the caregiver that comes to see me. Occasionally, the caregiver will set up a time to come other than a day the office thinks they come on.

If they say they are going to send someone or call me if they couldn't send someone, they should actually do that. It caused me a lot of extra stress. They said that if they couldn't find someone to be with my mother, they would call me, but they didn't. One time, I came in and the CNA had my mother's bed lowered when she was trying to give her something to drink.

I have somebody coming in twice a week from BrightStar Care of Charlottesville for my wife. They come in and give her a shower twice a week and clean her up. I chose them because I could afford them better than I could the others. They're friendly. The young lady comes around but sometimes circumstances prevent her from being on time, but not all the time. I'm happy with them.
