In-Home Care in Fairfax, VA

Coming from a Registered Nurse perspective, I could not recommend Brightstar enough! I wanted to write a genuine review for potential RN’s or even caregivers to serve as a sign to join this amazing team! I had to leave because I am a military spouse and my husband received orders for a new military base; however, I wish I didn’t have to! Brightstar of Fairfax really valued me as an employee and never took me for granted. The director of nursing (DON), Emma, was by far the best supervisor I have ever had. She was so kind and always alerted me when shifts became available as I was PRN. She even bought me lunch one day to show her appreciation of my hard work! Carolyn who works at the front desk was always the sweetest and very professional. For nurses week this year (2026), Brightstar went above and beyond to truly show their gratitude. I was speechless! It was such a nice gesture since many companies (including Inova) do not appreciate the hard work of nurses. I worked at Inova Fairfax full time during my time in Virginia and I would recommend many of my nursing friends to come work for Brightstar of Fairfax because the work environment is truly incredible! Out on the field, if you have questions someone is always available. If the on call team didn’t know the answer, they would alert the nurse manager on call which is very helpful. I felt like I was being fairly compensated as well. Overall, I am going to miss my team at Brightstar and I would highly recommend working here!!

When I needed home health care, I figured I'd get "meh" service, with indifferent aides delivering minimal service. I couldn't have been more wrong! BrightStar provided three outstanding people, each of whom easily deserves a rating of 10 out of 10, except for Laly, who's a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10. She cooked, she cleaned, she helped me with personal maintenance -- always with a smile, a kind word, and encouragement when I most needed it. She actually cared, and it showed every day. How to describe her? Pleasant, stubborn, fearless, with an awesome work ethic. WIthout exaggeration, Laly is one of the kindest, most considerate, hardest working people I have ever met. A thousand thanks to Laly, and to BrightStar for selecting her!

Brightstar is a wonderful company. I used them to care for my brother and they provided excellent service, with kindness, compassion and expertise. I knew I'd get amazing service because I've been working with them for thirteen years, and there's nobody else that I'd trust with my loved one. As a registered nurse who provides initial and on-going training, I know that the Brightstar staff are well-trained. Please see our attached photo of our training room. (And yes, that’s me testing the skills of our caregiver!) I value my relationship with our core staff, including Karen, our care coordinator. I have known her for about 10 years, and am constantly impressed by her integrity and compassion. BrightStar Care’s ability to grow and maintain a staff of 150+ amazing caregivers and nurses are due to a great work environment and stable staff.

I signed up for in-home skilled nursing services of BrightStar Care of Fairfax. Nurse Taonga RN provided the services for about three months. Ms. Taonga is very skilled, polite, gentle and caring person. She arrived at my home always on time as promised. She exceeded my expectations and contributed a lot to my speedy recovery. Besides Ms. Taonga, the director of nursing, Emma is very responsive to my requests and always accommodated my schedule. Director Nora provided accurate billing and answered my requests for any additional information promptly. I highly recommend BrightStar Care of Fairfax for anyone. Employees such as Taonga, Emma, and Nora and others such as Charlie are the reason for the success of BrightStar care. I wish them all the best.

I have been a caregiver for BrightStar Care of Fairfax for over five years. I have never had a job where I feel valued more. I love working with my clients, and the support I get from the company is amazing. There is always someone on call if I need help, my concerns are responded to, and usually resolved very quickly. They provide ongoing training. And check in with me every couple months to make sure I don’t have any issues. I can truly say, I LOVE my job! Mary Catherine French

This is a wonderful place to work with. I’m happy to be part of this team. And I will keep working with them as longer as I can.
