Staying at Home with Options

March 30, 2020

Is now the time for home health care in Richmond?

Home care is a great way to make sure your senior loved ones are safe and that there are activities and a healthy environment to enjoy at home.

Seniors who live alone especially need someone to visit them and make sure they are safe. When living by yourself, having a companion visit for a few hours is a comfort to all. Families can know that their loved ones are being looked after when they are at work or if they need a break.

BrightStar Care of Richmond provided health care services to the parents of a client named Glo. A Certified Nurses Assistant (CNA) would visit Glo's parents regularly. Glo recommended us and wrote a great review of her caregiver: 

"They will do whatever is necessary to keep your family members residing comfortably at their home. I highly recommend this professionally run company. They staff good people. They will fix meals, do light house cleaning, even pick up medicines for homebound family members. Its given me tons of comfort to know my parents are in good hands with BrightStar." - Glo P.

We are always grateful for our client's feedback. At BrightStar Care of Richmond, clients provide testimonials about us here.

Our private caregivers can help with meal preparation, laundry, and light house cleaning and spend time on helping set up engaging and fun activities to enjoy your time at home. 

Don't ever get bored at home! We're busy helping cheer up and engage our clients too. BrightStar Care of Richmond, Owner, Mark Grasser, reminds us that there are some fun activities to do as a family or as a couple. "Our caregivers find ways to engage clients, so being at home is enjoyable. When it is time to pull out a favorite board game or find something to do, our caregivers can help."
