What aging with dignity means to us...

"Aging with dignity and independence is the ability to live life to its fullest in the place you call home regardless of age, illness, or disability."

Our caregivers are...

"Attentive and Proactive Caregivers - Our experienced professional care teams are trained to be consistently observant of your loved one’s individual needs, including any subtle changes in their vital signs, behaviors, or symptoms. Because specially trained caregivers track and report these changes in condition to the Director of Nursing for your local BrightStar Home Care agency, we can modify your family member’s personalized plan of care to reduce the likelihood of falls, infection, re-admission to the hospital, medication interactions and other potentially undesirable outcomes. Trustworthy and Reliable Local Care Staff - We conduct in-depth interviews with caregivers and nurses to determine their experience, competency, and interpersonal skills. Potential BrightStar Home Care agency employees also undergo background checks, drug screenings, and licensing/certificate verification before being hired. But it doesn’t stop there. Because you’ve entrusted us with the care of your loved one, our agencies conduct ongoing assessments and training to ensure that your local care professionals continue to deliver reliable and high-quality care"

The care we offer is unique because...

"Customized, Flexible Care - Each client receives a personalized plan of care supervised by a Registered Nurse (RN) that considers the client’s overall health, current needs, and healthcare goals. BrightStar Home Care agencies are staffed by thoroughly screened and trained professionals with a wide range of expertise. This means we’re able to provide a full continuum of care, from companionship to skilled nursing, throughout your loved one’s illness, recovery, or daily activities — so you won’t have to search for different care options as your loved one’s needs evolve. Joint Commission Accreditation - Each local BrightStar Home Care agency that has earned this designation has undergone a detailed on-site review by a Joint Commission quality expert who asserts that it is following our BrightStar Care® company policies and procedures, state licensure, and Joint Commission quality and safety requirements. You can rest assured that our high clinical standards have been validated by the healthcare quality organization that also accredits the nation’s best hospitals and other major healthcare systems."

Important to remember when caring for someone...

"1. Support for Family Members Friends and family who take on home care duties can quickly become overwhelmed. Caregiving is a tough job — not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally. Using an in-home care provider will relieve the family from caring for a loved one with a serious injury, surgery, or illness. Having professional care means you can take time for yourself and fill up emotional reserves that may have been tapped. 2. Cost of In-Home Care is Less Expensive In-home care costs for seniors can be much less expensive than other alternatives. While they can sometimes be the best option depending on family circumstances, nursing homes and assisted living communities can cost several thousands of dollars per month. Many home care agencies charge by the hour allowing family members to schedule care according to personal needs. Recovering from an injury with in-home care can be much less expensive than at a hospital or skilled nursing facility. 3. Safety is a High Priority Health and safety are always a high priority for family members and care providers. Professional care can help reduce medication errors, injury from falls, and deterioration of existing health issues. Care providers will offer tips on keeping a home safe. 4. Around-the-Clock Compassionate Care In-home care services deliver compassionate and individualized care to their patients 24/7. Due to a typically high patient-to-caregiver ratio, many nursing homes cannot give one-on-one attention. Whether needed to provide respite for family caregivers or as part of an overall in-home care plan, this service provides peace of mind — day or night. 5. In-Home Care Supports Independent Living The feeling of independence is critical to our well-being and mental health as we grow older. Aging at home (often called “aging in place”) gives a sense of control and autonomy. Many routines can be kept and day-to-day relationships can stay intact. In-home care allows family members to stay involved and pres"

What person-centered care means to us...

"Customized, Flexible Care - Each client receives a personalized plan of care supervised by a Registered Nurse (RN) that considers the client’s overall health, current needs, and healthcare goals. BrightStar Home Care agencies are staffed by thoroughly screened and trained professionals with a wide range of expertise. This means we’re able to provide a full continuum of care, from companionship to skilled nursing, throughout your loved one’s illness, recovery, or daily activities — so you won’t have to search for different care options as your loved one’s needs evolve. Being person-centered is about focusing care on the needs of the individual. Ensuring that people's preferences, needs, and values guide clinical decisions, and providing care that is respectful of and responsive to them."

What would you want to know for family member care ...

"A Difference That Really Matters - Choosing someone to care for your family is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. In addition to providing a superior level of care, our caregivers are known for bringing joy and reassurance to those they spend time with. Even as our caregivers and nurses meet your loved one’s functional needs, they also focus on enhancing their quality of life and celebrate the little “wins” that can make each day special. Here are some of the other ways we’re different — and reasons why our family of BrightStar Care brands is a smart choice to meet your family’s needs. "
