I have been meaning to write this review for months. My husband was diagnosed with Alzeheimer's disease a few years ago. Having worked as a CNA in nursing homes and private homes, I was aware of the difficulty families face in finding a caring and trustworthy person to care for their loved one. I heard about Bright Star Care in Needham and highly recommend them for placing Benjamin with us. During his time with us, Benjamin consistently demonstrated the qualities every family hopes for: Compassion and Kindness: Alzheimer’s can be incredibly challenging, but Benjamin approached every day with a gentle spirit and genuine warmth. They treated my husband with dignity and patience, even during difficult moments. Reliability: Benjamin was exceptionally prompt and dependable. I never had to worry about whether he would show up, which provided me with much-needed peace of mind. Flexibility: As the needs of an Alzheimer’s patient can change by the hour, Benjamin was incredibly adaptable. He handled shifts in my husband’s mood and my schedule with ease and grace. I recommend Bright Star Care in Needham without reservation to any family seeking a skilled, kind, and professional caregiver. Sincerely, Annie Kane

Thank HEAVENS for our night nurse Allison from Bright Star! Both Skylar and Bruno came to our home, met our family and listened to our challenges. We are all so thankful for Allison to ensure everyone in the house gets an incredible night sleep. THANK YOU!

I recently had a shoulder reversal and hired BrightStar home care Needham and Brookline for assistance when I returned home after surgery. I thought the staff in the company to be warm, patient and informative in getting me help quickly. The woman that came to me ,Myrlande, was exceptional. She was friendly and willing to help me in any possible way I needed but at the same time gave me privacy when needed. She was so personable and easy to chat with and felt extremely comfortable to be with her during my difficult time I would recommend this home care and if necessary would use them again . I live in Needham . Ellen

Aptly named, BrightStar appeared in the midst of our urgent interviewing process as I sought the best care possible for a dear friend for whom I assisted as medical proxy.. Delightful in presentation while thoroughly and professionally aligned with our needs for empathetic companionship and part time nursing care, BrightStar Care of Needham/Brookline, pulled together a remarkable and competent ‘crew of caregivers.’ Once back from a Cambridge nursing facility and settled into his Jamaica Plain home, my friend’s needs gradually demanded more medical supervision and care than expected, and eventually, hospice. Again, within an area both personally unfamiliar and emotionally confusing, BrightStar, was there, on-the-spot, with medical care, appropriate staffing, and collaboration with hospice providing 24 hour care. In addition, they were well versed in patiently educating me through what was happening (heart failure with on-set dementia) and what to expect. Regardless of the time or the urgency of my questions, this team addressed a myriad of needs both physical and emotional, skillfully. I am so grateful to have found and been guided by BrightStar Care of Needham/Brookline during this tumultuous time. They are ultimate care-givers both to those who are helplessly witnessing the demise of a loved one and for the one transitioning. On all levels BrightStar Care of Needham/Brookline is remarkable. Respectfully submitted, Ms. DTWilson

I can't say enough positive things about Bruno and his team. My adult nephew, who has developmental, mental health, and autism challenges, is able to live independently with the exceptional care and support that BrightStar is providing. Bruno listened attentively to my needs, made a visit to my nephew to assess, and chose the perfect care giver. Both my nephew and I could not be happier with the changes for the better his care giver has made in his life. Bruno and his staff are responsive, compassionate, professional and very flexible with scheduling changes. I strongly recommend them.
