Kim Coffey, MSN, RN
Co-Owner, BrightStar Care of Hernando & Citrus CountiesKim Coffey is the dedicated co-owner of BrightStar Care, a home health agency proudly serving Hernando and Citrus counties in Florida. Alongside her husband, Jerry, Kim opened the Spring Hill location in December 2020 with a mission to provide compassionate, high-quality care to clients in the comfort of their own homes.
With over 30 years of experience in healthcare and a Registered Nurse since 1996, Kim has worked across a wide range of nursing specialties including Emergency Room, Operating Room, Clinical Education, and Patient Safety. She earned her Master of Science in Nursing in 2008 and has held multiple leadership and management roles since 2009.
After spending most of her career in hospital settings, Kim transitioned to home care to support patients and their families in navigating the often complex healthcare system from a more personal, holistic perspective. Her passion for home care is also deeply personal—she has experienced firsthand the challenges of caring for aging parents, including a mother with Alzheimer’s disease. This background allows Kim to truly empathize with families considering home care services.
Kim is known for her compassionate approach and commitment to building strong, trusting relationships with clients and their loved ones. She lives by what she calls the "Mom Test": “If I wouldn’t trust a caregiver or nurse to care for my own mother, they won’t be part of my team.” This philosophy drives her high standards and dedication to hiring only the most passionate and capable professionals.
Kim and Jerry are proud parents of two grown children and enjoy spending quality time together as a family. Whether traveling or simply enjoying each other’s company, they value every moment they share.
