South Orange County and North San Diego County Homecare, Nursing and Medical Staffing Services

Thank you for reaching out! We are the premier provider of care in Orange and San Diego County.  You deserve the best and we spend our waking hours finding, screening, bonding and insuring only the best care givers for you and your family.  We do serve all the way from the smallest of infants to the most senior.  People who just need comfort to those who have physical issues at any age.  If you need extra help, please give us a call.  I have been through this myself and we only employ (not contract out), the best that I would and have used with my family.

When we needed homecare for our own family, we could not find credibly screened care providers who were committed to our community. We created this business to make a difference and bring a new standard of homecare to Orange County. We promise that you will get the care your family deserves — the care our family needed.

Brightstar not only shines in North County and greater San Juan area, but its respected nationwide which is why it was recently featured on the hit show CBS’s Undercover Boss.  Click HERE to watch the episode.    To see one of our commercials that air on Cox Cable, Click HERE.

About North San Diego County and South Orange County Homecare and Medical Staffing Providers

Local owners Paula and Fred Stefany have always been a part of the OC community.  Fred has served on the Children’s Hospital of Orange County Padrinos board of directors, and he is now the chair elect of the American Diabetes Association of Orange County.

From childcare to elder care, please call any of us to help you with your needs. The San Juan Capistrano BrightStar team is available to you 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

All client cases are constantly reviewed by our staff to be sure that your needs are fully met. We take the time to make sure that the total well-being of each patient is fully considered at all times, and that family members are apprised of their loved one’s situation and progress. Our level of care is also monitored through an independent survey company, so we can always receive quality feedback from our customers regarding satisfaction with our services.

We’ve been there. We understand what you’re going through. We opened our doors solely so you can sleep well and not go through what we went through with our relatives. We are here to help our clients and their families live the best life possible. Please let us know how we can be of service.

We look forward to bringing to you the high level of dedication and commitment in caregiving that is the hallmark of BrightStar.

A Message from the Owners

After I turned 40, I decided I wanted to do something that really meant something to me. I liked my work, but BrightStar gave Paula and I an ideal opportunity to help people through some of life’s most difficult challenges, challenges we understood ourselves.

After the birth of our second child, Paula was discharged in three days, even though she could not sit up, let alone take care of a newborn and a three-year-old. BrightStar could’ve helped.

My Grandma Hazel wanted to stay in independent living, but she wasn’t able to do so on her own. BrightStar could’ve helped.

Paula and I are honored to now provide that help to families throughout South Orange County. Call us anytime to review your options and Make More Possible for you and your loved ones.
