Your Northeast Indiana Home care and Medical Staffing Providers: The Difference is in “The BrightStar Way” We Hire the Best of the Best We place only BrightStar-employed, experienced and compassionate caregivers. Every potential employee is subject to our rigorous hiring process that includes a criminal background check, motor vehicle record review, drug screen, three professional references, two face-to-face interviews, competency testing, and orientation. For every 100 people who apply to work for BrightStar, we hire only six or seven of the very best. In addition, each caregiver is insured, bonded and supervised by a Registered Nurse. We pay our staff higher wages than other providers because we target exceptional caregivers and have higher expectations of them. Registered Nurse Oversight of Every Case Our Director of Nursing, Stephanie Zishka, RN, is also an owner in the business. We provide RN oversight on every case. Direct RN supervision of every case raises the care we provide to a higher level and allows us to deliver exactly the right care to our clients.

We communicate any changes and concerns, discuss how we feel services are being performed, and listen to your input. 

  • Jen Boylan

    Branch Manager
    I grew up in the healthcare industry with my mom being a nurse. I remember the passion she had for the patients she served and knew I wanted to be in healthcare. I fulfilled that dream with a background in Occupational Therapy. I have a passion for working with individuals who have a need to regain their independence and have the best quality of life. I have over 14 years’ experience in the healthcare industry and an extensive background in management.  In my free time, I enjoy doing home renovation projects and attending college and NFL games!
    As Branch Manager of BrightStar Care of Fort Wayne, I look forward to serving our clients, staff and the Fort Wayne community.
  • Tanya Croswell

    Account Executive
    I have been in the HealthCare Industry for over 25yrs.  I started out as a CNA/QMA in a Long Term Nursing Facility, then worked my way up to Admissions and Marketing.  I started with BrightStar Care Fort Wayne since 2014.  Home Care has been so rewarding for me.  I see the families when the current help is not going well or they have no help at all.  I love seeing the stress leave their faces when I can assure them that help is on the way.  In my free time, I spend my evenings and weekends watching my daughter pitch for her softball team.
