Empowering People to Live Their Best Lives

I cannot say enough wonderful things about CareMoore homes! The ratio of staff to residents ensures that everyone receives personalized, attentive care. The memory care team is uniquely trained to handle the nuances of dementia with incredible grace, dynamic communication, and deep empathy. The facility itself is beautifully designed - bright, secure, warm and safe. It truly feels like a home. The team goes above and beyond to engage residents with thoughtful activities tailored to their abilities. The regular updates and open communication with families are unmatched. I cannot recommend CareMoore homes enough!

This is one one the nicest assisted livings I’ve been in. It’s very clean. The staff are very friendly and there is only 12 residents sans you can tell the staff really care about their residents. The meals are great and hearty portions and home cooked on site. There were fresh brownies made today and they offered all their residents and visitors amazing brownies. There is a great back yard and sunroom and a very nice clean and happy feeling overall.

My family has been so happy with Bright Star Memory Care. Our mother needed memory care and bright star is the perfect fit for her. The care is amazing. They are all so passionate and affectionate to the residents there. They go above and beyond to encourage the residents to engage in activities and they all take great care to make residents as comfortable as possible. We have been blessed to have such great care and the residents all seem so happy and are always smiling. The food there is made daily and always looks and smells amazing. The facility is clean and each residents room is always made up and kept clean. Thank you so much for keeping a great facility to all the help at all of the facilities. 🙏

INTRODUCTION: Caregiving is an ultimate act of love. But caregiving becomes more difficult as an illness gradually takes independence away from our loved one as well as that of the family caregiver. Certain types of dementia cause physical deficits that render our family members into toddlers. The patient becomes incapable of doing most things for themselves. There are few decisions harder to make than deciding to put a spouse, or other loved one, in a Memory Care or an assisted living facility. The decision may come with a burden of guilt as well as initial grief and loneliness. But placement is often the best decision. THE REVIEW: When my wife was placed, she required help for all the activities of daily living (ADLs). Based on the quality of Brightstar in-home caregivers, Brightstar Homes was my first choice. After a tour of the facility, my wife was placed in the “Taft” home. —The Brightstar/CMoore homes each hold about ten residents. —All of the meals for the residents are made from scratch. It’s familiar comfort food. Most special dietary needs can be met. —There are a minimum of two staff members on each shift. Often there are more. —Upon acceptance to the home, a residents POA/Advocate fills out a complete bio of the resident. This helps with ongoing care and socialization. — A comprehensive care plan is established when a resident enters the home. The plan is modified as needed based on input from Keystone Health or new requirements. —Resident status reports are issued every six months to the residents advocate. —The homes are self-pay. —Typically, the Taft home smells fresh and clean. —The homes have comfortable patios and visiting areas. —Activities are provided periodically. —They do not provide Nursing home care level services such as feeding tubes or giving infusions. —Medical care is provided by the outstanding Keystone House calls Health team with over sight by Brightstar nurses and the on-site Med-tech. —The care staff takes pulse and oxygen readings as well as issuing meds and logging changes. They will call medical support in the event of a significant physical or mental change —Hospice support is provided by outside agencies for some guests. —Pedicures are provided periodically and are included in the monthly fee. —Hair dressers are available for a fee. —It was necessary to purchase a TV for my wife’s room. Her bed was provided by Medicare via Norco. Family members can also provide familiar furniture and memorabilia for guest rooms. —Disposable underwear is provided by the loved ones family. —Doors to the outside are secured by electromagnetic locks to prevent wandering as well as unauthorized entry. --One truth about placement is that the family caregiver often feels that no one (except themselves) can properly take care of their loved one. A paradigm shift is needed to recognize that >>the care team is truly an extension of the caregiver's family

Brightstar provided a safe place for Dad to spend his final months in a nurturing environment that felt like home. Staff members were diligent in following up with issues Dad might be having and effectively communicated with both me and hospice. The staff treated Dad with compassion and kindness, with many of them coming to feel like family. Highly recommended for your loved ones.
