We are beyond grateful for the exceptional school nursing care our high schooler receives from Nurse Danielle Massillon, whose expertise and compassion have made a world of difference for our family. Her unwavering dedication and profound understanding of our child’s autism have paved the way for remarkable recent successes that we once thought were out of reach. It is a joy to see our student thrive under her watchful eye, as her outstanding performance is ever present along with her big smile. We are truly pleased with her service and couldn’t ask for a more skilled or devoted professional to support our child’s health and education. Thank you, Brightstar!

Brightstar provided a physical therapist that genuinely looked at me as a person, not just another customer. Alli Shestra is indeed a professional and caring individual who feels honoured to help you achieve wellness. He gives you 100%. One of the nicest people I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet.

I would like to acknowledge Cynthia Washington, RN of BrightStar Care of Howard County with a 5-star review! Nurse Washington provided me with exceptional service. She was extremely knowledgeable, as well as friendly, caring and kind. She put me at ease about the process and she made me very comfortable. She was thorough and her level of professionalism was second to none! She even exceeded my expectation by following up and checking on me after her visit. I would highly recommend Nurse Washington to anyone needing a nurse to administer medical treatment. I hope I can claim her as 'my nurse' for years to come! Nurse Washington is the best!

BrightStar Care of Howard County was excellent from start to finish. I needed an escort for a colonoscopy. I called with only a week's notice, but their warm, helpful coordinator, Karen, got me right in. She gave me a reasonable flat rate with no surprises. They assigned me Tiffany, a lovely, bright credentialed nurses aide with 6 years of experience. She's also one semester away from becoming a nurse! She was a delight to talk with! I am an older woman with all her faculties and I appreciate that they didn't treat me like a child. They let me take the lead interacting with the surgical suite but were there when I needed them. I can't speak highly enough about this team.

For over a year BrightStar of Howard County provided nursing and other care on an around-the-clock basis for my wife. The care was exceptional and the nurses and other staff became good friends with my wife and myself. The nursing staff was well trained and provided care above and beyond including exercise support, wound care, grooming assistance feeding and much more. The scheduling staff was also highly responsive to changes dictated by hospitalization from time to time. Overall BrightStar was a great choice for serious home health care.
