BrightStar Care took great care of my brother, providing 7x24 CNA care, during the final stage of his cancer. The speed at which things were set up was wonderful-first call from us late Tuesday afternoon, first shift in place on Wednesday night. All of the folks we had were great—professional, caring and watchful. They were always willing to help on things around the house and were mindful of watching over me, as well as my brother.
Wayne P, Carly W and Emma C were the primaries and provided kind and patient care, which was increasingly needed as his mobility became more limited, and he required more assistance than he was aware of. The team was always patient, even when my brother lost his train of thought or became distracted and they would wait, never rushing him, until my brother was ready. Equally meaningful were the quieter moments when they just kept him company and the allowances that they made to accommodate his modesty while ensuring he was safe.
I would be remiss if I did not also mention Zion (who gave him as much freedom as he could and brought a lightness to things), Chip (at the ready if he tried to get on the move without assistance) and Andrea (only here two times but one of those was on what was probably my brother’s roughest evening—when he had intense coughing spells, she got him to a comfortable resting position so that the coughing stopped and kept everything calm).
I could go on, there are many others I could mention—and that is part of the comfort level that you have with BrightStar. They have a solid team of professionals and the flexibility to provide what you need quickly and effectively. Anytime you need this type of care, it’s guaranteed to be a highly stressful time, BrightStar eased things because we knew the care needed would be there.
My brother felt like he got to know many of the caretakers, and I am deeply grateful that their care allowed him to stay where he was most comfortable (in what was a very uncomfortable time) during his final weeks.

We drove from CA to visit family in CO. Brightstar of Northern CO provided daily nursing care during our 2-week stay. In particular, nurses Ellen, Cassie, Seanna and Tabitha were excellent, as was CNA Stephanie. We will absolutely use Brightstar of Northern CO in future visits. Brandy was very helpful coordinating the necessary paperwork and taking care of any other administrative issues.

Immediate assistance was provided when we needed it the most. Their team conducted a thorough and comfort- focused assessment. The overnight service provided us a needed break. Thank you for your service, care and compassion.

Arbrie is a visiting RN for our dad, which helps us keep him in his home. She takes vitals, ensures he takes his meds and provides companionship. We are very happy with her care.

I have been using Bright Star Care for a couple months now for my in home infusions! I am so thankful I found this company! Nurse Daisy is such a great nurse and she always is patient with me and teaches me whatever I am willing to learn about my infusions. I highly recommend Bright Care if you are in the northern Colorado area!

Brightstar’s service has been a true blessing for our family. My husband wouldn’t have been able to continue his stay in memory care without the amazing team from BrightStar coming in to help. They have been compassionate from the second we met them, and their entire staff continues to surpass our expectations everyday—always providing us with prompt, highly trained and caring people who instinctively know the right things to say and do. I would highly recommend BrightStar Care to anyone needing basic to complex, skilled help for themselves or for a loved one.

This report from Alan Hammond refers to Arbrie Johnson, as do the stars above..
I have found Arbrie to be capable, knowledgeable and communicative, with an equitable disposition.
She has also been very helpful in such subsidiary tasks as helping order medical supplies. She has also communicated from time to time with Dr. Lee's office (Dr. Lee is my urologist). I have been very satisfied with Arbrie's service and am pleased that she is part of the Bright Star staff. Alan Hammond

I met the CNA Mentor staff and leadership yesterday and led them through a workshop on the health of the healthcare worker. This team and leadership is something special! I noticed it right away by their warmth, their genuine caring attitudes, and their drive to be in excellence. I was very impressed.

I am so thankful for BrightStar's care team! My grandparents are elderly living in rural Colorado with little support at home. BrightStar responds quickly and they are able to mobilize their team very quickly to get care to them at all hours of the day. All of their caregivers are so kind and very thorough. I work in the long-term care and elderly industry and have incredibly high standards for those who are caring for my family. I can't say enough about how amazing their team has been. They are obviously very trained and very caring individuals. Thank you for all that you do!!!
