my husband and I made a trip to Michigan to visit his 92 year old mom, who lives alone. We…read more thought all of the siblings were taking care of mom properly, but it turned out she was being badly neglected. We needed to make some changes quickly and to manage everything from long distance. We were so lucky to have found Brightstar to do this for us. They have been amazing!! We were very wary of home care businesses since we had heard some of them had bad reputations, so I researched thoroughly before hiring Brightstar. They have done everything that they promised from day one. And I have requested a myriad of changes and additions and they have all been done immediately. I can't tell you how much I have depended on them for mom's care, especially since we're not there in person. And I do know that they have done everything that they said that they did since we now call mom about 6 times a day. I am now very confident that mom is being taken care of properly and we know she is happy with her new caregivers, since she tells us.

Everything from the initial phone conversation with Kathy, to setting up the details were flawless. The staff were courteous, professional, and made it easy for us. Having childcare at the site of our reception was a lifesaver for some of our friends and family. I would recommend them anytime!

This is the second time I have used the, "Total Transition Team". So very grateful that a friend…read morerecommended them to me. Not only did they do ALL the work, they were really fair. Vicki Denkhaus is a God send. I honestly would not have done this if it wasn't for her. Accumulating so much over the years and owning an antique store, parents items, kids who've moved out, relatives that have passed, where did it all come from? Vicki's talent for organization and business is beyond anything one could hope for. I have unfortunately been in the position of having to deal with Estate sales people before, and ripped off each time. That made me hesitate as it would anyone to move forward and tackle this again. It's so hard to trust, but in this situation, you really kind of have too. Vicki Denkhaus is not only trust worthy, but is straight with you, has a great team behind her, and will keep you informed EVERY STEP OF THE WAY! If you need to have an estate sale, call Vicki. You'll be so very glad you did. Sincerely, Kate O.

Outstanding care: Seen as a person first, not a diagnosis…read more I am the care manager for a 92-year-old woman with advanced Alzheimer's and dementia, and today we had an appointment with Dr. Christine at Avalon Primary Caree that went far beyond anything we expected. Healthcare settings can be overwhelming for patients in her condition, but this visit felt calm, respectful, and truly productive. In just one appointment, we achieved more than we have in multiple visits over the last four years with previous primary care, cardiology, and neurology providers. Dr. Shina addressed every concern, including things we did not even know to ask about, and introduced us to services and resources that will immediately improve her quality of life. I arrived with a long list of questions, and every single one was answered thoughtfully. Many doctors become dismissive if you do not use the right medical terms, but that never happened here. Dr. Shina encouraged questions and made sure nothing was left unclear. We left feeling fully informed and supported. What stood out most was her bedside manner. She spoke directly to the patient, looked her in the eyes, asked how she was feeling, and treated her with dignity and compassion. That combination of knowledge, patience, empathy, and genuine concern is rare and it made all the difference. The office was easy to find, clean and spacious. The staff was helpful and efficient. Lyndsey, the MA deserves special recognition for making the entire experience even better. We left with referrals, a care plan and real hope. I believe every patient deserves the level of care we received, though it is difficult to find today. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Shina and Avalon Primary Care. Thanks again!

I'll start by saying that I have been dealing with many different doctor's offices, receptionists,…read morenurses, etc for about 11 years now - and I just have to say, Avalon is at the top of my list for some of the best medical care I've received. I see NP Bre'Ana Strong, and she has been nothing but caring, kind, understanding, and patient with me (qualities that I think can be incredibly rare/uncommon in the medical field, especially when it comes to primary care.) She went above and beyond at my last visit to make sure both a physical and mental health care need were taken care of - and she didn't rush me or make me feel like a burden. I couldn't believe this office only had a one star rating on yelp, I had to come here to fix it. The nurses here are also super friendly and welcoming (very important when you're dealing with health stuff, IMO!) and the receptionists were kind and welcoming too. I don't even necessarily expect that, but these folks bring it. Thanks, Avalon team!

This is a recommendation for Alicia as Angel of the Month Award:…read more Alicia was a God-send for my Mom. She was prompt, smiley, fun, and so loving. Alicia went above and beyond by alerting me to things happening at Mom's and Mom's surroundings and always wanted to keep Mom safe. If it was something small like her slippers were worn, or how she was eating, or something that just didn't feel right she didn't hesitate to let me know. Her heart is huge and her smile even bigger. As Mom would say, Enough is Enough give Alicia the award she deserves. Chris K.
