Bright Star has been so helpful to fill in when family is not available. Easy to contact and work together with to cover my mom's needs. Staff such as Beverly, Patty and Stephanie have been so good with mom and patient. Thank you for all you do! Bright Star staff were with us until our mom passed. There staff were so thoughtful even with the family members. We would not have been able to provide the care our mom needed if it wasn't for the help of Bright Star. All of the staff were wonderful!

I loved the entire time spent with the nurses. They were all very knowledgeable and kind. If I ever need help again, BrightStar will be at the top of my choices.

Karen was so lovely to work with! She met our family at the hospital several times to check in and to make sure all of our questions were answered about the home care. Alix the nurse who came into the house was fabulous! So engaged and took her time to examine my dad. She also answered all of our questions. Alia and Orlando were our favorite night time caregivers! They were excellent!

BrightStar has been helping me take care of my 91-year-old father, who is in hospice, for over a year. Sahara is a wonderful caretaker who is kind, responsible and respectful. She gives me peace of mind that Dad is not alone if he needs something or someone, or if he has a health emergency. Besides helping Dad with meals and companionship, she gladly agreed to some light housekeeping, which gives me more time to spend with Dad when I visit. Stephanie, the Customer Care Manager, has helped me navigate this difficult time of taking care of an elderly parent. She answers my emails or phone calls in a timely manner and is always knowledgeable and friendly. I truly appreciate everything BrightStar has done for my father and me.

My mom was in a rehab facility and needed night care for emotional comfort and companionship. We had a good experience with all the night care staff but I want to extend an extra special shout-out for Alia. Alia was such a compassionate , caring and knowledgeable caregiver. After previous long hospital /rehab stays and many different locations our mom needed reassurance and company through the nights. Alia was so genuinely caring and kind to mom. Alia’s attention to detail and mom’s comfort made mom’s nights a joy for her to look forward to. Many thanks to Alia and Brightstar .

Jessica Rivera has become a fantastic caregiver for my wife. She is so passionate about providing her the best care every time she is here. She knows all the nuances of dealing with my wife. I can also count on her advice. She is smart and always wanting to improve herself. As far as I am concerned, I have the best team of caregivers for my precious wife on the planet. Sandy LaMantia

Pamela has been a great help. Coral has been very exceptional and knowledgeable as well as caring and friendly. Throughout my brother’s care the agency was very responsive to adding additional care as needed. Coral was extremely experienced, kind and knew what he needed.

My mother's caregivers are the sweetest and caring woman. They helped her stay in her apartment. They helped her make breakfast. This gave me peace of mind, when I couldn't be with her. Jessica and Alexis always keep me informed on mom's activity. They treat my mom like family

I have had amazing experience with bright star. Alexis is my caregiver she is always on time, always in a good mood, helps me with everything I need, always makes sure I get my grocery orders on time. In the morning we watch the game shows together and have a lot of fun. Helps me organize all my orders and find the stuff I order I misplace. Helps me return packages if I double order. Alexis goes above and beyond with helping and making sure I have everything I need. She helps me a lot the 2 days she is here a week. I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver. Always make sure everything is done when it needs to be done. Overall Alexis and the brightstar staff have been very nice and very helpful. I could not ask for a better caregiver that is willing to help and sometimes willing to just sit with me and talk and laugh and have a good time.
