After my wife had surgery to repair a broken femur and was in rehab, Drew and BrightStar was there to assist me in transitioning her back home to a hospital bed that had been set up in the living room. Their professional assistant and support during that time was greatly appreciated by both my wife and myself.

My family needed caregivers with specific qualifications to help my parents (who each had unique medical challenges) stay in their home of 40 years. Brightstar, led by director Drew Brown, went above and beyond to create a powerhouse team that met all of their needs and provided exceptional care and support.

After my Mom had a stay in both the hospital and rehab facility, we needed help at home while she recovered. I was connected with Drew Brown at Brightstar. She was great with information and answering all my questions and very caring, always responded right away whether I called or texted. Brightstar provides a great service and was a lifesaver. Fortunately my Mom recovered quickly but I would use them again if needed.

My post surgical care provided by BrightStar was exceptional. My decision to use BrightStar was based on my experience with Drew, a BrightStar team member. She took the time to personally sitdown with me to identify my needs, plan the appropriate scheduling and work with the BrightStar scheduler to make sure I had the personnel with the appropriate skill sets for my needs. Her concern with making sure I was receiving the highest quality care from the beginning to end of my program was the same experience I received from everyone I came in contact with from the organization. Drew and all the BrightStar team members truly live and deliver their core values in providing care. I was truly fortunate to find them.

Brightstar care provides exceptional service. My father has been using them for about a year now and they have been reliable, compassionate and flexible. We personally have dealt with Drew and Misty and couldn’t be happier. It’s nice to be able to rely on a service that treats your family like family. Having the consistency of the same staff is also a great asset.

I reached out to this agency who was highly recommended to me at work (I work in healthcare) and Drew jumped the rescue for my dad. Within a couple of days he had a nurse assess him, and the same day a caregiver started helping him. Very nice staff, I’m very happy with the service they provide. They drove my dad to shop, get a haircut, a pedicure, and even to a Doctor’s appointment. It doesn’t only help him, it relieves a lot of stress and time consuming tasks off my plate. I could not be happier with the care and attention to details that Drew provided us with, lots of good information and I would recommend to anyone to reach out to Drew. Thank you 😊

Drew did an exceptional job of shepherding me through the process and following up to make sure everyone was working out well. Had 4 different caregivers and all were fantastic. Very happy with this company. Had used another one when my husband was ill—huge disappointment—quality of caregivers and lack of reliability.

I can’t say enough good things about BrightStar! From the first contact with Drew Brown, who explained everything in detail of what the agency could provide and what to expect. Drew was quick about responding to phone calls regarding questions about care and the scheduler who was also very responsive and helpful. The staff that provided care were also warm, friendly and supportive. BrightStar is a top notch agency that I would, and have, recommend without any hesitation.
