We have been working with Michael and his team at BrightStar for a few weeks now, and already it has meant a world of difference for our family. They have matched us with someone who is caring, thoughtful and hardworking, and who truly makes caretaking for my father at home possible. Couldn’t be more appreciative.

Brightstar provided exceptional care for my sister in January and February 2023. From the first contact, they were professional and efficient, sending out someone to the hospital to do the assessment immediately. They found a caregiver to start the very day after my sister was discharged from the hospital into hospice. Our caregiver, Daniela, was always on time and happy to help with any and all support tasks. My sister was bedbound and Daniela helped with all the activities needed to make someone in the last stages of life comfortable. She made great suggestions based on her caregiving experience to make the care provided more effective. She not only provided medical support but was also a compassionate presence for both me and my sister through the last weeks of her life.

Amazing care takers. Lisa Kearns-Adams is our night aide and she is remarkable. So kind and full of good suggestions. Treats my husband like family. We would be lost without her.

It was an uneasy feeling leaving my mom in the care of folks we didn't know and she didn't know but the caregivers have been so helpful, patient and willing to work around the clock to be sure mom wasn't navigating recovery and confusion alone. I've been so relieved knowing Bright Star was there! When your jobs dictate rigorous timeframes and full time care is unexpectedly needed, Bright Star goes to work and eases the anxiousness with gentle professionalism and prompt response. What a great company and staff to work with!
