About Our Companion Care Services in Wheaton

December 22, 2009
BrightStar has a unique understanding of the issues today’s families face, struggling more and more to find time for even the most basic activities amid ever-busier lives. Finding experienced and compassionate caregivers can be a challenge – but it doesn’t have to be. Our services focus on improving the health and wellbeing of those entrusted to our care and our clients count on us for outstanding care and just about anything else they need, anytime, anywhere — so they and their loved ones can get the most out of life. Our qualified, compassionate caregivers go above and beyond to make more possible – more support, more joy, more laughter – in the lives of those we serve by truly engaging those in our care on an individual level. Our services include comprehensive, around-the-clock companion care for anyone – of any age – who needs it. Whether it’s sitter or nanny services, providing home support by helping with laundry, light housekeeping and meal planning and cooking, or respite and relief for family caregivers, our caregivers are willing to give more of themselves to their work. BrightStar care professionals can also provide outside support, like helping with shopping and errands, adult and senior transportation to and from doctor appointments and social events in addition providing travel companionship as well as new mother support. We strive each and every day to get to know our clients to plan activities that will be both stimulating and enjoyable. “Yes we can!” is the underlying service philosophy we live by at BrightStar. We are here to make life easier for you and your loved ones. We strive to make more possible in the lives of the individuals and families we care for. Each BrightStar client receives a personal, in-depth assessment conducted by our Director of Nursing that, among other things, takes into account their condition, personality and environment. We then put that knowledge to use, creating an individualized plan of care that meets our clients’ unique physical and emotional needs – a plan that strives to not only improve their health, but enhance their quality of life. This process, along with continual oversight by our nursing staff, helps us ensure the right fit between our clients and their caregivers, and enables us to quickly modify a client’s plan of care as their needs evolve. Assistance with connecting clients with loved ones through emails and social media, creating customized grocery lists in accordance with dietary needs and preferences, engaging in activities such as art projects and reading, facilitating visits with friends and neighbors, planning visits, outings and trips – these are just a few of the many ways our companion services are making more possible the lives of those in our care each and every day.
