There are no adequate words to describe the level and quality of help, compassion and competence shown by these professional angels. I am a skeptic by nature and trade (philos and psych prof at UCSB). I find absolutely no problem saying that Assisted's assistance is a marvel and blessing. It surely is part of what makes our community special. Thanks -- by the boat-load -- for Leslie, Esperanza, Ed and the many other always available professional Care-Givers on staff. What a marvelous way to be helped through a hideous life experience.

Home Helpers'/Lompoc services started out well but soon deteriorated. It is time-consuming to get…read moreready for a Home Helper visit. When they don't show up, it can ruin the flow of things in a household which includes someone who is ill. And it definitely is disruptive when home health professionals have also been scheduled. I was notified a couple of hours before the HH employee was due at our house that she would not be coming. The next day I was notified that she would be at least a half hour late. When she arrived she said she was late because Home Helpers/Lompoc did not allow her sufficient time to drive from one client's house in Oceano to our house in Arroyo Grande. Appropriate scheduling is Home Helpers' responsibility; not ours. Overbooking should not be the client's problem, but obviously it is. It was clear that Home Helpers feels that clients are being overly picky by complaining about missed appointments followed by tardiness.

The scheduling staff, does a great job with filling gaps in the schedule on a weekly basis. The company has strict cancellation policies. Also, the office staff may not always relay timely, effective and/or correct information to patients and other caregivers, regarding schedule changes and patient specific needs/situations, This can cause confusion, misunderstanding, continuous communication breakdown, which also contributes to lack of rapport with staff, frustration, and a myriad of challenges that could be prevented. This also leads to lack of patient-centered practices, BrightStar has been great in many regards and I am grateful for the support the caregivers and other staff have provided. Yet, there are always areas for growth and improvement, which I hope will be implemented to further strengthen the services they provide, along with their employees and the company in its entirety
