We’re Hard at Work Helping Charlotte Seniors Spring Clean

Our caregivers help provide light housekeeping and help around the house to clients who struggle to keep up their home because of a medical condition or disability. As seniors age, BrightStar Care helps them live safely in their homes. Our Director of Nursing provides safety inspections and a care plan to ensure their home is the best place for them to be.

Home safety is a priority. We not only look at home cleanliness and food safety, but we also provide medication management and the disposal of expired medications.  

Here are recommendations on how to clean to stop the spread of germs:

  • Clean and disinfect high traffic areas in the home
  • Clean and store toothbrushes safely
  • Clean cell phones, television remotes, and all handheld devices
  • Create a new policy - no shoes in the house - shoes bring in germs
  • Look for places where mold might be hiding
  • Make handwashing a priority
  • Clean your pillows
  • Wash your sheets and clothes at least once a week

When an older adult lives alone without a relative nearby, we can provide support in your absence. Our caregivers and in-home health agency will help assist with 24-hour home care services when your loved one needs continuous assistance in daily tasks or short-term help while recovering from medical procedures. Each situation may vary, and no one client care plan is alike, but one thing you can count on is our ability to provide support for your loved one with the highest level of care.

Our safety standards and practices have received the Gold Seal of Approval from the Joint Commission. The Joint Commission is the nation’s oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care and has rigorous standards that go above and beyond state requirements. This accreditation is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to meeting superior performance standards and puts our Montgomery County BrightStar Care team within the elite group of less than 10% of in-home health care agencies that have received this accreditation.

Our 24/7 medical and non-medical care services, including companionship, personal care, transportation, medication assistance, and skilled nursing.
