Award-Winning Care

Each independently owned and operated BrightStar Home Care® location is required to pursue Joint Commission accreditation, and our agency is proud to have achieved and maintained this designation. The Joint Commission is a nationally recognized healthcare quality standards organization that also accredits the nation’s best hospitals and other major health care systems. 

When a BrightStar Home Care office earns The Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval^®, it means that they have undergone a detailed on-site review by a Joint Commission quality expert who asserts that the location is following BrightStar Care policies and procedures, state licensure and Joint Commission requirements.

Our commitment to clinical quality keeps your loved one safe in their home and, in some cases, helps prevent hospital readmissions.
