20 years of compassionate care. Thousands of hugs. Millions of smiles. And countless tears shed in quiet moments of both joy and sorrow. The role of a caregiver or nurse isn’t defined just by the services they provide. Of course, supporting a client’s personal or medical needs with quality care is vital. But it’s also about the touch of a hand, the laughter between friends and the joy that spreads across a client’s face that truly reflect what our team does every single day. It’s about those moments when a caregiver or nurse goes above and beyond, when a client becomes a friend and when your loved one reaches a medical milestone that matter to everyone we have the honor to serve. The women and men of BrightStar Care® weave a beautiful tapestry of compassion, joy and hope that make this an organization we’re proud to be a part of. One of our caregivers sums it up well, “I enjoy doing what I do and BrightStar helps me do that to the best of my ability every single day.” Please enjoy this video capturing just a few of the special relationships we’ve built. And if your loved one needs Companion Care, Personal Care or Skilled Nursing Care, you can find a BrightStar Care location near you — we serve clients of all ages, from infants to seniors. If you were touched by these stories and would like to learn about serving as a nurse or caregiver, learn more about making a career transition to BrightStar Care.
