Working to Provide Safe and Healthy Home Environments in Fairfax

March 24, 2020

We are Connecting with Seniors About Their Safety

Our BrightStar Care of Fairfax Director of Nursing, Mona Amireh, RN, oversees all clinical operations for our Home Health Care Agency in Fairfax. Mona joined BrightStar in early 2019 as our Assistant Director of Nursing, and before BrightStar she worked as a nurse for Capital Caring Hospice. Mona manages our RNs and LPNs directly, ensuring that we exceed the Joint Commission safety standards, and that the care we provide is the highest quality possible. She also trains and oversees care provided by our team of personal care home assistants and nursing aides. We know that Mona's oversight makes a difference when we get client feedback and testimonials from family members. Robert Massie, the BrightStar Care of Fairfax Owner, states that "when families face a challenge, they need service and care from a trusted caregiver. It takes a relationship with a provider who can offer high quality, compassionate care, and when it is someone who you can trust in your home and with your loved one, it makes all the difference."

BrightStar Care offers Fairfax families a higher standard of home care with award-winning RN oversight, advanced safety protocols, and client health monitoring. To learn how we are keeping seniors safe during the COVID-19 pandemic CLICK HERE.

Massie shared what one family member recently wrote to him:

"I have to say, either your selection or training or both are first-rate because your aides have all been great. After two recent hospitalizations and (being) bedridden, my mom has had major weaknesses and almost no communication. Still, she and Sharon seem to have a very close connection that has made a noticeable improvement for her. She's always (more) compliant, relaxed, (is) less stressed, (and is) eating more. All your aides have been amazing and attentive; still, Sharon stands out, and because of my mom's reactions when she's around. BrightStar has been the single best decision my sister, and I have made during all my mother's past months. Thank you so much for offering us help." ~ TK, Herndon, VA

"Helping families through difficult times has always been a part of our job," said Massie. "Now more than ever, keeping our most vulnerable population safe during this period of uncertainty is our highest priority," Massie stressed. "BrightStar Care is committed to our clients who trust us with the care of their loved ones. The trust you give us is predicated on the measures we take to help keep your loved one safe and healthy. "

Our Director of Nursing, Mona Amireh, adds "I love working at BrightStar Care, because I enjoy working for a company that strives to go above and beyond in providing patients with the highest standard of care, by treating all patients as we would our own family. I love knowing the care provided by our amazing staff is making a difference in the lives of both patients and their families, and to me, that is the most rewarding feeling in the world."
