April is a meaningful time to recognize the strength, resilience, and sacrifice of military children. During the Month of the Military Child, we honor the young individuals who serve alongside their families—adapting to change, demonstrating courage, and supporting loved ones who serve our country.
At BrightStar Care of The Monterey Peninsula, we are proud to stand alongside military families throughout Monterey County, offering compassionate, dependable support—especially for those navigating additional challenges through the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP).
Supporting Families in the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP)
Military life brings unique challenges, but for families enrolled in EFMP, those challenges can be even more complex.
Caring for a child or dependent with special needs often requires:
- Consistent, high-quality care
- Access to specialized services
- Stability during frequent relocations
Finding that level of support can be difficult. That’s where we come in.

As a fully credentialed, in-network provider with TriWest, BrightStar Care of The Monterey Peninsula ensures military families have access to trusted, high-quality in-home care right here in our community.
We offer services designed to support both exceptional family members and their caregivers:
Respite Care
Providing parents and caregivers with time to rest and recharge, while ensuring their loved one receives compassionate, professional care.
Personal Care Assistance
Support with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, mobility, and meal preparation—delivered with dignity and respect.
Companion Care
Engaging individuals through meaningful activities, social interaction, and companionship to reduce isolation and promote emotional well-being.
A Community That Cares
Military families often carry a heavy load—and at times, it can feel isolating.
At BrightStar Care of The Monterey Peninsula, we are committed to being more than just a care provider. We aim to be a trusted partner and a source of support, helping families feel connected, understood, and cared for.
Our goal is to:
- Ease the burden on caregivers
