This is the best part of the day for me because I feel better once she has helped me bathe, and I am happier and know my husband is as well. The lady who comes to visit me her name is Janet, and she is very knowledgeable, passionate and kind.

There was some heavy lilting involved when getting someone from the chars and into the bathroom for the toileting. They go them to kitchen to have food. I liked that they were punctual and present. I think that all the preliminaries were talked about and things were managed in a timely fashion. There was no doubt and it was all organized and I could not be happier with that.

The client has fallen 4 times in the last year and we were very concerned about it happening again so we needed some help. We really needed the overnight hours. They are there with her at night to help her get to the bathroom without falling. So far we have had wonderful caregivers and some that were not very good matches.

They provided caregivers in the evening hours. We have care every evening, but when I hire them or encourage them to come during the day they cancel and are very irregular. I'll call and they let me know that they are going to be late or quit.

It is nice to have another set of eyes to makes sure I am helping her correctly. It eases my mine. It is mental relief. They correct me when I am wrong. I had no problem until the weekends. I get a different person every time, and it took half the time to explain what to do, so now I am down to 3 days a week because I stopped the weekends.

The agency could have made our life easier by having consistent caregivers come regularly. For me to recommend them more, their process for assigning workers to patients was not satisfactory because I hoped we would be able to hire someone to come regularly each day and that the same person would come and instead they signed people up by posting the need for workers and having their staff sign up for the time required so they might come once or a couple of times and the lack of the consistency was trouble.

He sees someone else besides me 24/7 and they try to interact with him but he's not very responsive. He's not a talker though so what can you do. It's not so much Brightstar it's who is coming to the house. It was simple. I asked her to do things and she didn't do them.

He is in a nursing home, but he was diagnosed recently with dementia. They stay with him in the evening and keep him calm before bed. My husband experienced a traumatic brain injury so I am new at this. I just love the logs that they keep so I can read how his day was. They will tell me his temperature. The people are always respectful to him.

The service was needed, because she couldn't be by herself. They showed up. The things I was paying for was outrageous price wise. They drove her to breakfast and sat with her. She doesn't need that much care. If they were doing bathing and things like that, it would make sense for it to be more expensive.

They can get us a schedule. They can do correct billing. We are getting charged extra all the time. They don't fill out the paperwork properly so the insurance doesn't cover it. They can improve everything. The girls can actually show up. They let them pick their own hours. We can have three or four days without being covered. They have too many clients and not enough girls.

They could do a better job matching caregivers that can handle my mother's dementia. Some of the communication wasn't working between us. Care requests were being forgotten. I shouldn't have to tell people 4 or 5 times how to do things.

The service when we had a found a good caregiver helped a lot since my mom has dementia. Consistency is very important. When we are constantly having to go over things and train them, that takes a lot of effort. They should make sure that all time slots are filled. They should make sure the caregivers read the necessary documentation before they arrive. There are great caregivers. There are some that are average.

It's been very good because it's necessary. They need to have more consistency, which is key in the home health industry. They need to be the way that they used to be. There used to be a caregiver for everyone. If someone called off, then they would fill the slot. I notice they're not doing that like they used to.

They provided excellent companionship care, which helped with her dementia. They helped her through the most difficult time of her life when she lost her spouse and had dementia. I loved their choice of caregivers. The main caregiver was absolutely more than we could have ever dreamed. She was so caring, compassionate, and attentive to my mother. I am truly grateful for her. She was wonderful for my mom. We were sad that the situation changed and we had to relocate because we would have kept using her.

It's helpful. What would be more helpful, though, is to call more often to see if everything is okay and satisfactory. They could have more communication between the aides. They could have more communication with the schedulers. Sometimes there will be a change in the schedule and they don't let me know about that. Someone comes to the door and I don't even know they are scheduled. This has happened about three times in the last three months.

We have 24 hour care so we know that my loved one will be taken care of. I think the biggest thing is really picking the people that are taking care of them.

BrightStar Care isn't good care for clients that are dementia-oriented. What my mother has is dementia, and the caregivers aren't very good for that. The CNAs don't have a lot of training in that. I wouldn't recommend BrightStar Care if someone needs help with a client who has dementia. What BrightStar Care really needs to do is to get their caregivers to go through a one or two day dementia client orientation. They just need basic techniques on how to interact with people who have dementia.

I like the way they screen their employees at Bright Star. We've been using this agency since February. The care we receive is great. The caregiver keeps the house clean, does the dishes and helps with preparing meals. She has a very pleasant attitude and is a hard worker. I really like the way she just goes about doing the work without us having to direct her. She just comes in and starts doing it. I would highly recommend Bright Star's services.
