When local organizations come together, great things happen. This week, BrightStar Care of the Monterey Peninsula had the opportunity to table at the San Andreas Regional Center, connecting with individuals, families, caregivers, and fellow community partners to share resources and answer questions about in home care.
Why Events Like This Matter
Navigating care can feel overwhelming, especially when you are balancing daily life, work, and the needs of someone you love. Community events hosted by trusted partners like SARC make it easier to discover support options in one place. For us, it is a chance to listen, learn, and ensure families know they do not have to do it alone.
What We Shared at Our Table
Visitors stopped by to learn how BrightStar Care can tailor services to unique goals, schedules, and budgets. We highlighted:
- Skilled nursing at home: RN led care planning, medication administration, wound care, chronic condition support, and coordination with physicians.
- Personal care: Bathing, grooming, feeding assistance, mobility support, toileting, and safe transfers.
- Companion and respite care: Social engagement, supervision, errands, light housekeeping, and breaks for family caregivers.
- Specialized support: Autism and developmental disability care strategies, dementia care approaches, and post hospital transition support.
- Flexible scheduling: From a few hours a week to 24/7 care, because needs change.
Every BrightStar Care plan is overseen by a Registered Nurse who ensures care stays aligned with health goals and evolves as needs do.
Conversations That Count
The best part of the day was real conversations. Families shared what is working, what is hard, and where they need relief. We heard questions like:
- How do we combine school or day programs with care at home
- Can someone help with appointments and routines
- What does respite look like and how flexible is it
Our team walked through practical options, funding pathways, and how to get started quickly. If you did not get a chance to stop by, we are always happy to talk through the same questions by phone or in person.
Partnering With San Andreas Regional Center
SARC plays a vital role in connecting people with developmental disabilities and their families to services that support independence, dignity, and community life.

Collaboration is how we close gaps, reduce confusion, and make sure families get the right help at the right time.
