💙Celebrating 10 Incredible Years of Dedication 💙
We’re so lucky to have an amazing team of caregivers who go far beyond just doing a job — they show up every day with heart, skill, and a deep commitment to truly making a difference in the lives of their clients.
This kind of work isn’t for everyone. It takes resilience, compassion, and genuine care — which is why reaching a 10-year milestone in this field is something truly special.
This year, we’re celebrating TWO of our exceptional caregivers — Sister Norma and Patty — who are both marking 10 years with us! When we saw they were attending the same CPR class, we knew we had to take the opportunity to show them some well-deserved appreciation.
Sister Norma and Patty, THANK YOU for everything you do — for your clients, your colleagues, and for setting such a strong example of what it means to be a caregiver. You embody the spirit of our team and prove that for our caregivers, caring isn’t just a job — it’s a calling. 💖
We are so grateful to have you both as part of our team. 💐

Is it time to talk to your aging parent about safe driving?
It's one of the hardest conversations to have—but also one of the most important. From slower reaction times to vision changes, even experienced drivers can face new challenges as they age.
Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the bravery of first responders, the resilience of survivors, and the strength of our nation. We will never forget.

If your aging loved one seems more tired, confused, or unwell than usual, dehydration might be the hidden cause. Sometimes, fluids and rest aren’t enough. Knowing when to consider an IV for dehydration could make all the difference in their recovery.
5⭐️Google Review: "I am so glad I chose BrightStar from the list of approved providers my insurance carrier sent me. Based on other reviews, I felt strongly that they were the right choice. The service and care provided, however, exceeded my expectations. The owner and office staff were kind and efficient, and Denice, my caregiver, was wonderful. I know I healed more quickly from an unexpected surgical wound because of her care. She was also a ray of sunshine, which helped me to stay positive during this circumstance. I cannot recommend this company strongly enough!"

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 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
BrightStar Care also provides healthcare staffing solutions to businesses on a temporary, temporary to permanent and permanent placement basis. We provide personnel to hospitals, nursing homes, doctors’ offices, labs and anywhere healthcare staff is needed.
