BrightStar® Home Care South Springfield is also equipped to offer assistance with additional conditions — please contact us to discuss the specific care you or a loved one needs.
Alzheimer’s and Dementia
We customize our care services to the specific needs of those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Your loved one will be cared for by our staff that has been specially trained in memory care. Our goal is to enable your loved one to live with dignity and safety, enjoy optimal physical and emotional health, and maintain connections to the people, places, things and memories that matter most to them.
Neurological Disorders
Individuals with neurological disorders can have a wide range of needs. Those living with advanced-stage illness may require around-the-clock care, while others may need only basic assistance or personal care on a part-time basis. In addition to Alzheimer’s and dementia, we provide a variety of services for clients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and other neurological conditions.
Heart Disease
Individuals who suffer from congestive heart failure (CHF) or have experienced acute myocardial infarction (AMI/heart attack) often need assistance to maintain or improve their health and quality of life. This short-term transitional care may include support and education to develop new lifestyle habits that promote heart health such as diet and exercise, as well as encouraging medication adherence.
COPD and Pneumonia
Depending on the severity of your loved one’s chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or pneumonia, we’ll provide medication reminders and support habits to improve wellness. We can also provide medication reminders and personal care to foster a healthy recovery, with the ultimate goal of reducing COPD-related hospital trips.
Cancer
When a family member has cancer, it’s okay to turn to professional care to supplement what you’re able to do. BrightStar Home Care South Springfield can provide companion care to help with transportation or personal care for basic daily activities; services like these can also provide you with respite during a stressful time.
Arthritis
Whether your loved one is experiencing pain, lacks strength, has reduced function or is dealing with other symptoms from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, we’re able to provide a solution that meets their needs. Our team can address nutrition, movement and daily activity support, as well as monitor symptom progression and provide medication reminders.
Diabetes
BrightStar Home Care South Springfield can help you or a loved one manage this complex disease. In addition to conducting foot inspections, we can also provide family education to increase overall support for your loved one.
Long COVID
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), long COVID is an ongoing issue for millions of Americans. Also called post-COVID conditions (PCC), symptoms may include extreme fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, “brain fog” and other health problems that require short- or long-term assistance.
BrightStar Home Care can provide companion care or personal care for daily activities at home for individuals dealing with the long-term effects of COVID.
