Overland Park Homecare Testimonials

“BrightStar was there when we needed them the most. We are first time parents and enjoying our time with our 4-month old daughter.  But, when I went back to work, she began the daycare experience and encountered the “daycare sickies”.

She picked up a stomach virus and needed someone to feed her a very small amount of fluid every 5 minutes to ensure that she did not become dehydrated.  When my husband and I both caught her stomach virus (despite going through what seemed to be a gallon of Purell) and were unable to maintain her required feedings from our respective places on the bathroom floor, BrightStar was there – even at 3am!

I called Debbie, the BrightStar Branch Manager, around 3am and an experienced nurse, Brian, was at our home by 6am.  Brian even brought us some Sprite to help ease our stomachs!  Brian was wonderful with our daughter – not only did he maintain her necessary feedings, but he changed her, administered her medicine, and most importantly – comforted and played with her. At a time when caring for a sick daughter seemed overwhelming to a pair of “green” parents, BrightStar was there!”

More about Your Overland Park Homecare and Medical Staffing Providers

“I think we all know that people do better and stay healthy longer if they are able to have their needs addressed in their own home,” Dr. Nielsen says. “Furthermore, this doesn’t even begin to address the decreased risk of infection if people can minimize their time in a hospital or rehab facility.”

In the last year of their lives, Tyghe’s grandparents both became ill unexpectedly, leaving his mother to become their primary caregiver.

“We were fortunate in that my mom is a registered nurse,” he says. “Even with her professional skills and experience, it was a difficult time. I knew it must have been exhausting for her, even though she was certainly qualified and it wasn’t out of her comfort zone to address their day?to?day needs.

“I couldn’t help but think there had to be many other families who are in similar situations, but are not aware of the options they have in terms of private duty care. Let’s face it: saying these needs are being adequately addressed as opposed to actually providing quality care are two completely different realities.”

The caregiving process can be very emotional, even overwhelming. There are many considerations, including quality of care, trust, cost, and compatibility.

We can educate you on all your options and help you determine what makes the most sense for your particular needs. We’ll custom?tailor a service plan and make all of the necessary arrangements. We are here to help our clients and their families live their best. Let us know how we can be of service.

We also specialize in filling the gaps in service when Medicare and Hospice are unable to meet all of your needs.

“Hospice is an amazing and wonderful thing. The people who do this work are also amazing,” Dr. Nielsen says. “Unfortunately, Hospice caregivers can rarely provide continuous, around-the-clock care for these patients, simply because they have other patients to see.

“Filling these gaps is precisely one of the things that BrightStar does best. Whether you need us for two hours on a particular day or continuously for two months, we’ll be there.”

Call to find out how we can customize a plan to work with these other agencies to provide the safety, full spectrum of care, and peace of mind you deserve.

Our staff is dedicated to helping you any time, any place. Reach a LIVE member of our core team 24/7 at (913) 535-0255.
