The caregivers are good people but the people that sit behind their desks at the company are terrible. They suck at schedules and they don't communicate anything to you so you never know what's going on. So many times have they stressed their clients or made them upset because they never communicated or scheduled anything right. No matter how hard you work here they don't compensate you for anything. The staff are petty and act like they're the ones doing all the hard work instead of their caregivers. This office needs to be remodeled before I would ever consider hiring Brightstar to take care of me or any of my loved ones.

You will not be disappointed with Brightstar of Valparaiso. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

Her program for me was absolutely essential on my recovery. While there is still work - and time - needed for me to make a full recovery with issues outside of Melanie and Apex' bandwidth, I am walking again without any pain or even discomfort.

Ascent took the reigns and kept me updated with everything from the time they arrived at rehab to when they were on their way to my dads to when they arrived home. Hey made the process easy.

The beds…read morewere very uncomfortable other than that I got treated very well and taken care of very well. The actual rehab was great got me back up on my feet and able to function and I was able to come home and be able to take care of myself with no problem. The food at this facility is pretty good I don't have any complaints there might have been one meal I didn't like but everybody has their own taste. Things are never going to be perfect at a rehab facility. Most of the time they're spread quite thin they got a lot to take care of and you have to be more understanding as a patient. If your needs are more than what they can handle then you might consider going to a different facility where you get more attention. The job of these people is to get you back on your feet and make you self-sufficient. I would highly recommend it my mother was in there for a period of time also and they were able to do wonders with her and she was 85 years old and get her up and walking too.

We were charmed by the looks of the facility and the assurances provided by the person who gave us the tour. The supposed services they provided both to the patient and the patient's family. It was not only a total disappointment, but it was actually dangerous in my opinion. My sister had intense pain and horrible swelling in the leg that had surgery. They did nothing about it until my nephew continued to ask what was happening. They checked for a blood clot and did an xray but took no further action. There was supposedly a doctor that saw her but we never heard anything regarding his visits. One of things we tried to do was get her to a follow up visit with the surgeon. Not only would they not help in facilitating that, they insisted that they could take an xray and send it to the surgeon. They took the xray but the surgeon has never received it. They told her to pee herself in the night because she was too hard to get out of bed and they would change her in the morning. She was moved to a different facility for insurance reasons. Within the first 24 hours the new facility did a skin assessment due to the swelling in her legs. They have an orthopedic doctor who will look at her leg. They will arrange a podiatrist to see her feet which was something we requested multiple times at Avalon and it never happened. Add to all of this, when we knew she was being discharged from Avalon we requested a call with her discharge instructions and the plan of care they were forwarding to the new facility. Despite promising that they would, they never provided that. The morning she was moved, the new facility didn't' know she was coming. Avalon didn't provide the pain meds or let the new facility know that they needed to get a script from their doctor. They never provided the information on the physical therapy she had while at Avalon. The only good thing I can say is the Avalon nurse that morning gave the most comprehensive care and attention that I saw anyone give in the entire time my sister was there. They consistently didn't comply with the most basic of promises. Such as there was supposed to be a weekly call to go over her progress. We had one call the first week she was there. We never had another call. We could never find anyone to ask about her care. If we did manage to get in touch with someone the general answer was that person didn't have access to that information. They would have someone else call back. We are still waiting. My nephew found the head nurse one evening. She was totally uninterested, provided no information and made it quite clear that she was completely irritated that he had asked her questions. Don't be fooled by the pretty building. This place is horrible.
