I am enormously grateful for this company. My mother in law very suddenly needed 24/7 caregivers…read moreand we were in a panic trying to find a company to meet her needs. Luckily we chose to use BrightStar. The owners are outstanding. They were calm and understanding in what was a very stressful situation. Even on a Friday night they were available and they were able to quickly schedule caregivers around the clock. All of the caregivers have been competent and compassionate. Our minds are at ease knowing my MIL is being taken care of so well. I 100% would recommend this to anyone that is looking for care for themselves or their loved ones.

I would give one star based on my bad experiences; however, I also had a few aides that are decent,…read moreso I feel 2 stars is fair. Some examples of my experiences with them in the 8 days that we used them: We called the nurse there and was advised to take my husband to ER on a Sunday night. She advised us to cancel out aide the next day because my husband might be admitted. It turned out that the ER visit was not necessary so we returned home around 4:30am. I called their 24-hour hotline and was told by Patrick that he would contact the scheduler at 7:30am to see if we can get our aide back. When I finally got up in the morning after an exhausting night, I called back and found that Patrick didn't contact the scheduler at all. He only did it after I called and told me that the earliest time that an aide could come was 2:30pm. My husband's diaper/sheet was saturated with urine in the morning and I am not strong enough to change him. I had to call another agency to get help. They sent someone over in 40-minutes and helped me clean up my husband. That was an extremely unpleasant and stressful experience. We talked to Brightstar and one of the aides, hoping to have her sign up for more shifts with us. They insisted that it can't be done, but the aide was puzzled because she clearly had the availability. One aide was sleeping on the job, another one had many issues and I told them that I'd rather take care of my husband myself if she was the only one available. I emailed a few people at Brightstar (including the scheduler) about changing the hours from 12-hour per day to two 4-hour shifts. A few days later, I got the new schedule, it still showed 12-hour per day. They claimed that it's hard to get the same aides for the fixed shifts because they all work for different agencies. We had a revolving door of caregivers the first week. The new agency found fixed aides for us in less than 2 days and promised that they'll be the same for the remainder of the time that we still use them (unless any of them are sick or have emergencies - which is reasonable). It CAN be done! My husband (who is in hospice) is very happy with the new aides and I am relieved that I no longer have the headaches dealing with the issues associated with Brightstar.

The quality of care that was provided was top notch and I cannot recommend it enough. I gave them 5 stars, as the top rating on this site but I would gladly give them 10.

Josie was so easy to reach and when I had a last minute change in nursing needs for mom, She and her staff made it happen seamlessly and immediately. If you ever find yourself in need for in home care, and if I ever require it again, Josie will definitely be my absolute first call.

We've been through different home healthcare providers/agencies, so I can compare and, with…read moreconfidence, say that Grace Home Healthcare (Grace HHC) is a great company that's dedicated to connecting patients and family with professional personal care aids (PCA). On occasions when we need a new or temporary PCAs, Grace HHC went extra miles to find and provide us with people who meet my mother's and our family's needs and values. This is a critical element for good healthcare providers. My mother's been with Grace HHC since its opening. Prior to her connection with the company, she has developed Alzheimer's disease and other symptoms, which many people develop as we age. Grace HHC has been finding good senior daycares, worked with her insurance company to provide the right service and hours, and various things to help improve my mom's conditions and provide all her needs, including medical and personal hygiene products. Very pleasant staff at Grace HHC works closely with the family, communicating on a daily bases, as needed. They can do that because Grace HHC is well-staffed with professional nurses and administrators that care about their patients/clients.
