I am enormously grateful for this company. My mother in law very suddenly needed 24/7 caregivers…read moreand we were in a panic trying to find a company to meet her needs. Luckily we chose to use BrightStar. The owners are outstanding. They were calm and understanding in what was a very stressful situation. Even on a Friday night they were available and they were able to quickly schedule caregivers around the clock. All of the caregivers have been competent and compassionate. Our minds are at ease knowing my MIL is being taken care of so well. I 100% would recommend this to anyone that is looking for care for themselves or their loved ones.

I would give one star based on my bad experiences; however, I also had a few aides that are decent,…read moreso I feel 2 stars is fair. Some examples of my experiences with them in the 8 days that we used them: We called the nurse there and was advised to take my husband to ER on a Sunday night. She advised us to cancel out aide the next day because my husband might be admitted. It turned out that the ER visit was not necessary so we returned home around 4:30am. I called their 24-hour hotline and was told by Patrick that he would contact the scheduler at 7:30am to see if we can get our aide back. When I finally got up in the morning after an exhausting night, I called back and found that Patrick didn't contact the scheduler at all. He only did it after I called and told me that the earliest time that an aide could come was 2:30pm. My husband's diaper/sheet was saturated with urine in the morning and I am not strong enough to change him. I had to call another agency to get help. They sent someone over in 40-minutes and helped me clean up my husband. That was an extremely unpleasant and stressful experience. We talked to Brightstar and one of the aides, hoping to have her sign up for more shifts with us. They insisted that it can't be done, but the aide was puzzled because she clearly had the availability. One aide was sleeping on the job, another one had many issues and I told them that I'd rather take care of my husband myself if she was the only one available. I emailed a few people at Brightstar (including the scheduler) about changing the hours from 12-hour per day to two 4-hour shifts. A few days later, I got the new schedule, it still showed 12-hour per day. They claimed that it's hard to get the same aides for the fixed shifts because they all work for different agencies. We had a revolving door of caregivers the first week. The new agency found fixed aides for us in less than 2 days and promised that they'll be the same for the remainder of the time that we still use them (unless any of them are sick or have emergencies - which is reasonable). It CAN be done! My husband (who is in hospice) is very happy with the new aides and I am relieved that I no longer have the headaches dealing with the issues associated with Brightstar.

Physical Therapy front desk receptionist in Dec2016-17 & the therapist from then was rude by…read morecalling me a liar, stating I need a script from a physician to come to physical therapy (PT) even though I gave them my post operative notes from an approved Medicare surgery. Medicare states that all "original medicare patients" do not need a script for anything except lab work or imagery. Medicares website policy on PT states: Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) helps pay for medically necessary outpatient physical therapy. (Medical necessary means: Health care services or supplies needed to diagnose or treat an illness, injury, condition, disease, or its symptoms and that meet accepted standards of medicine.) The physical therapy centers "interpret" Medicare's statement as "only a doctor can deem it a necessity" & because PT clinics don't have "MD" credentials, you have to get evaluated by a physician outside their PT clinic for approval of PT prior to receiving treatment. I've received answers from several different customer service representatives at Medicare & their supervisors. They've stated that it's not a necessity to get a script when I: 1. Have an MRI diagnosis 2. Accomplished pre-op PT before Medicare surgery approval 3. Have the surgery approved by Medicare A physical therapist can do an evaluation after surgery & write notes to Medicare that PT is needed after my approved Medicare surgery per the "specific Medicare written guidelines". You cannot find where the necessity must be on a script from a doctor nor it has to be from a physician outside of the PT office. After an MRI diagnosis by a radiologist doctor, I had a July 2021 surgeon visit & an August 2021 physical therapist evaluation in which they both stated physical therapy is not how you treat my injury...only surgery can fix what I have... But yet the PT clinic booked PT appointments even though the injury was deemed "surgical repair only". The PT made my injury worst. Wouldn't you worry about not getting reimbursed for an injury physical therapy is clearly stated it won't help? Which means my Aug-Sep2021 physical therapy should have not been paid for by Medicare since PT was NOT "...medically necessary...". It seems as if interpretations should not include words not written. Clearly the Medicare words written does not state in what form to receive my diagnosis/injury. Which makes this companies assumptions unwarranted. But allegedly PT still has to be booked to "check a box" with Medicare because, Medicare won't pay for surgery unless you try PT 1st even if it's medically written that PT isn't medically necessary for my particular injury. So you're saying Medicare would risk injurying a patient further after 2 medical professionals tell them that PT will not only not make the injury better, but could further injure the patient? Regulations change periodically in any job & Medicare isn't any different. This office might want to keep abreast of how to write evaluations to ensure reimbursement. It just seems as if this company wants i.e. a surgeon to agree with a therapist prior to a therapist eval when Medicare only needs 1 statement from anywhere (MRI, lab work, post-op notes) diagnosing me & then have a therapist professional state how to proceed after the diagnosis.
