    15 Years in Home Care Franchising Has Enabled Me to Help My Community at Large

    November 2, 2023

    Fifteen years ago, I was introduced to the world of franchising through BrightStar Care.  I had previously worked in the healthcare industry for 12 years, but I was eager to make a career shift.  Home heath sounded very attractive and I leaped at the opportunity of merging my passion of working in healthcare with my desire to own a business. Over the course of 15 years, my talented team has provided more than 1.7 million hours of home care service to the communities across Placer County and Sacramento County. I have also employed nearly 2,000 care givers and we have served almost 2,500 clients.   In addition to the outstanding care that we provide our clients, we are very involved with our community and passionate about providing resources through various community support groups, seminars, and training.  We look forward to continuing to improve the lives of our clients and their families, while simultaneously contributing to the community and providing our caregivers, nurses, and therapists a desirable place of employment.
