✨ Last night we had the privilege of hosting a truly beautiful Continuing Education event for our area healthcare professionals.
Amy Camie, “The Healing Harpist,” shared her gift of music and a powerful reminder about Creating Harmony Within Us and Around Us. She showed us how music can touch places words cannot — opening space for understanding, self-awareness, and even healing.
Imagine being a caregiver, a son, daughter, or spouse walking alongside a loved one with dementia. The journey can be overwhelming — sad, frustrating, and exhausting. And then… a melody plays. Suddenly, for just a moment, your loved one is transported back to a place of love, joy, and safety. That is the quiet, extraordinary power of music. 💙
At BrightStar Care, we believe in honoring those moments — big and small — that bring comfort, dignity, and peace at home. Our mission is to ensure families feel supported and that loved ones can remain where they feel most at ease.
Because sometimes, the smallest things — like a familiar song — can make the biggest difference. 🌟

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.
