Our Staff at BrightStar Care® North Shore Nassau County

Don and Maureen started their BrightStar Care agency in 2011. The motivation behind this decision was solidified when Maureen tried to find care for her mother, who had suffered a stroke. When the care received was so inadequate, Maureen and Don knew they could make a difference in the homecare industry. Providing compassionate, caring, and competent homecare services has become their passion. Actively communicating with their clients and understanding their needs and concerns has allowed them to achieve the goal of providing "A Higher Standard of Home Care" on Long Island.
