Bruno and Olivia Ferrari are BrightStar Care franchisees who recently opened their first location in Newton and Brookline, MA! When they began exploring business ownership, BrightStar Care stood out as a franchise opportunity that aligned with their commitment to serving others, while also providing structure and long-term stability.
"Their franchise support team has been there for a long time, and that's always a good sign,” Bruno said. "Additionally, we were impressed with the warmth and support of other franchise owners, which speaks to the stability, trust, and supportive environment of the brand."

We know how overwhelming the responsibility of caring for a family member can be. We once needed help caring for a loved one, and we didn’t know where to turn to give her the quality of care, and the quality of life, she deserved. Compelled by a need to find A Higher Standard of Care that was more dependable, more supportive, more complete, we founded BrightStar Care®. We provide the full continuum of home care for people of all ages, from infants to seniors, as well as medical staffing services for healthcare facilities.
A Higher Standard of Home Care
A Nurse on Your Side
With BrightStar Care, your loved one’s home care from day one is supervised by a Registered Nurse. A nurse on your side means you have someone to explain what’s normal and what isn’t, answer questions and ensure your loved one gets the care that’s right for them.
No two people are alike. We honor that.
From round-the-clock care to just a few hours a week, we create a plan of care that works for you and your budget.
Meet your caregiver.
Your BrightStar Care® nurse helps select the right caregiver for your loved one. All caregivers are fully screened, background-checked, trained, bonded and insured, and in-person, in-depth interviews help us find the most compassionate, dedicated people. We encourage their growth and development with continuing education and support from their RN leader and team.
Quality in-home care for all ages.
We serve many seniors in the community, but BrightStar Care is for anyone, any age, who needs help at home. This includes long-term care for special needs children, temporary help after surgery and much more.
The gold seal of approval.
The Joint Commission is a nationally recognized organization that accredits the nation’s best hospitals and other major health care systems. Each BrightStar Care agency is required to obtain and maintain accreditation from The Joint Commission which validates that we follow their requirements for the highest level of safety and care.
Your Medical Staffing Partner
