BrightStar
Lending A Helping Hand BrightStar offers care for every age and every stage of life
We created BrightStar because we once needed help caring for a loved one, and didn’t know where to turn to give her the help and care she needed and deserved. BrightStar oers home care for people of all ages, including elder care, nanny/ sitting services and medical staďŹƒng for families and healthcare providers. At BrightStar of Marin and San Francisco we take a quality of care approach to every client we serve. We guarantee compatibility by carefully assessing care needs and client preferences. With over 20 years of experience in the local oďŹƒce, our Director of Nursing , an experienced RN and Nurse Practitioner, oversees each caregiver. We hire and train the highest quality caregivers with our rigorous screening and testing measures. Our focus on quality service means a BrightStar sta member answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Look at what our clients say about our services: “Before BrightStar, our mom wasn’t eating properly and constantly combative. After a week with the caring people from BrightStar, she’s eating well, looking healthier and always in a good mood. The companionship has done a world of good for her.â€? “After my dad moved into our home, we were disappointed when he started showing signs of depression. My husband and
I both work and couldn’t take time o to be at home with him during the week. After the BrightStar caregiver was here for two days, he was his usual gregarious self. We don’t know what we’d do without them.� B Paul Wichman, BrightStar 150 Shoreline Hwy., Ste. B-28, Mill Valley. 332.3300. www.BrightStarCare.com
