    I would like to welcome you and personally thank you for trusting our company to take care of you or your loved one. It is an honor and privilege for us to work closely with our clients and their loved ones. The number one reason for my love for healthcare is because of my father. As a child, seeing him with many medical conditions leading to last stage Alzheimer’s, I know what it is like to watch your loved one struggle in performing day to day activities. We are here to provide you with the best in quality and truly, a higher standard of care filled with compassion.

    At Vaziri Care, Inc. dba. BrightStar Care of Carmel Valley & Rancho Santa Fe we want to support you with life’s challenges by offering you more dependability, more peace of mind, and more joy.

Our focus is to make your life easier and allow you or your loved one to live life to the very fullest in the comfort of your home!

    We are here to support you when family and friends are unable to provide necessary care, and when engaging in daily activities becomes increasingly difficult to perform. From companion Care to Personal Care, we are here for you to make more possible.

    This is why, I am so passionate about our company. I remain focused on creating a culture within the company that every client will be treated with the same care and compassion that we would want for our own family members and loved ones. Thank you for taking this journey with us.
