The unreliability has been not good. It makes my wife freak out. They call us half an hour before she was supposed to come to let us know she is not coming. Our caregiver has had health problems and car problems, and they haven’t been able to find anyone as a back-up. We are kind of on the edge, they are just not reliable enough.

They should be a little bit more flexible with scheduling. I like the professionalism of the office, but not necessarily the people that were provided. I did get people who spoke English unlike my previous provider. The two ladies that came out were very professional and personable. They provided a carry bag, the CPR equipment, and a notebook for me to read, which I thought that was impressive.

They don't do anything outstanding. They are just here, hopefully on time. They take care of my mother, most of the time, but they almost always fail to give her the medicine. One caregiver did not feed her dinner at all for five days! My mother says she is not hungry. You can't take her word. You have to put food in front of her, and then she will eat it. They need to know that if you ask her, she will say no. It's not what I hired them to do. They do, however, clean the house. The condo is very clean, I don't know whether they give her showers, and she can't remember five minutes before. They are usually on time. They are okay! They are not outstanding, but they are average. They don't do everything correctly, and everything they do, they mess up in one way or another. It is nothing major. It was just somewhat annoying.

BrightStar Care's caregivers are good. There are some questions, however, about them showing up on time and their reliability. Once, a caregiver came late and another caregiver couldn't come because of an illness. The caregivers come in when I have to be away and can't have anyone come. This allows me to go to work one day a week, which for me, is a mental break.

BrightStar Care's caregivers are not qualified to actually give care. BrightStar Care's caregivers need to show up on time and be qualified. The caregivers bring junk food to the home and eat it. They go out and do their own errands but they need to listen to what the family says instead of listening to when the client says they don't have to do something.
