I've worked with several home-health agencies over the years--during care for my mom, grandmother,…read moreuncle, and even after my own surgery in 2010. Because of those experiences, I've learned the difference between an agency that just shows up and one that truly understands what families need. Agape Health Services is on another level. They care for my mother-in-law, who has dementia, and the compassion, patience, and genuine respect they show her is something I've never seen from any other provider. A lot of companies say they treat you like family... Agape actually does it. Nancy and her team is consistent, communicative, and truly dedicated. They pay attention to the small things, they go out of their way to make her comfortable, and they bring a warmth that can't be taught. It gives us peace of mind knowing she's with people who really care. After dealing with multiple agencies over the years, I can honestly say Agape Health Services is the most caring and authentic home-health agency we've ever worked with.

We had used another agency in the past and did not have a good experience but the social worker at St. Joe's recommended BrightStar and she was 100% right. I live out of state, which was a bit concerning and I thought about taking the time off from work but there were no issues. It was a huge weight taken off of my shoulders. To the BrightStar Team, Thank you for everything you do!

My father was unable to walk when they began working with us and the aides and nurses have put a program in place that has made his progression so incredible... I can now take him for Memorial Day lunch like he deserves. The transformation has been no short of dramatic and I attribute that primarily to BrightStar's care. When we were looking for help there were so many choices. We chose BrightStar because of their 24/7 nursing oversight. When we did make our decision I found out that my wife's coworker also used BrightStar for her mom so my experience isn't unique. Make sure to give Suzanne a call when you're thinking about your homecare options. They are the best!

I waited a month after my mother's passing to write this review so I could have some distance and…read moreperspective from the events. I contracted with Alvita to care for my mother during the last two months of her life after she was injured in a fall. I paid for 24 hour home care seven days a week. Other than Fabienne, I found the caregivers sorely lacking in the most basic of qualities such as companionship and emotional support. Also, other than Fabienne, the one on one care for which they were hired (toileting, hygiene assistance, dressing, grooming, feeding, etc) was mostly delegated by them to the staff at the assisted living facility where my mother resided, which negated the whole point of hiring them in the first place. Chronic lateness was also the norm. Most arrived 10-20 minutes late for the start of the night shift The night shift crew was especially problematic. In addition to generally not performing the basic tasks for which they were hired ("it's not my job" was the common refrain, even though it literally was their job), they often did not even stay in the same room as my mother who was a fall risk. Some slept on the sofa in the living room during the night shift, some spent the night shift doing schoolwork in a separate room, and some spent hours of the night shift on their phone in the hallway outside of the apartment. The complaints became so numerous from the staff at the assisted living facility and from the hospice nurses that I eventually had to change agencies for the night shift. Three of the low points during the Alvita night shift require special mention. (1) There was the night that my mother sat in her own feces for the entirety of the night. When Hospice arrived in the morning, the waste was dry and hard and had been there all night, despite a 12 hour Alvita shift. (2) Many nights, my mother was put to bed at 7 PM for convenience sake without any social interaction or kindness on the part of the aide. (3) My mother suffered a skin tear on her arm the night after I complained about the aides sleeping on the job. I was told that she injured herself, but there are no witnesses other than the Alvita aide involved. On the opposite end of the spectrum is Fabienne. She was the primary Alvita daytime aide for my mother. Fabienne went above and beyond the call of duty. She exuded kindness and compassion. She took the utmost care of my mother and treated her with dignity and respect. When Fabienne was on the job, the staff at the assisted living facility and the hospice staff took a break because everyone knew that she had everything under control. This is the level of care advertised by Alvita and the level of care that I paid for, but only Fabienne met the mark. Not only did she meet expectations, but she blew everyone away with her level of care.
