When people think of home care, they often picture elderly individuals needing help with daily tasks or medical care. While senior care is a vital part of what we do, it’s far from the only population we serve. At BrightStar Care, we proudly support individuals of all ages — from children with special needs to adults recovering from surgery — with personalized, compassionate in-home care.

👦 Pediatric Care for Children with Special Needs

Children living with physical or developmental disabilities often require consistent support beyond what schools or outpatient clinics provide. Our team is trained to assist with:

  • Mobility and safety supervision

  • Personal hygiene and daily routines

  • Support for autism, cerebral palsy, and other conditions

  • Respite care for family caregivers

Peace of mind for parents, and compassionate, familiar care for children.

🧍‍♀️ Adults Recovering from Surgery or Illness

After a hospital stay, many adults still need help managing daily life at home. Whether it’s a joint replacement, illness, or injury, we can provide:

  • Medication reminders

  • Mobility assistance

  • Wound care and skilled nursing (if applicable)

  • Meal preparation and light housekeeping

Proper recovery starts with a safe, supportive environment.

♿ Individuals with Disabilities or Chronic Conditions

We work with clients who live with long-term conditions such as:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS)

  • ALS

  • Diabetes

  • Mobility limitations or cognitive impairment

Our caregivers can assist with personal care, transportation, and maintaining a routine — helping clients stay independent at home.

🪖 Veterans and Their Families

Many veterans qualify for in-home care support through VA programs. Our team helps with:

  • Personal care and companionship

  • Meal prep and housekeeping

  • Skilled nursing when applicable

  • Support navigating VA benefits

Honoring those who served with the care they deserve.

👩‍🍼 New Moms Needing Postpartum Support

Postpartum recovery can be physically and emotionally demanding, especially after a C-section or complicated birth. While we don’t provide infant care, our team can support mothers with:

  • Assistance with hygiene and mobility

  • Light housekeeping and meal prep

  • Help with older children or daily routines

Sometimes moms need care, too — and we’re here to help.

BrightStar Care: Your Partner for Every Stage of Life

Whether it’s a child needing specialized support, an adult recovering at home, or a veteran in need of assistance, home care can be a lifeline for people of all ages. Our mission is to bring compassionate, high-quality care into every home — not just for seniors, but for the whole community.
