20 years of compassionate care. Thousands of hugs. Millions of smiles. And countless tears shed in quiet moments of both joy and sorrow. The role of a caregiver or nurse isn’t defined just by the services they provide. Of course, supporting a client’s personal or medical needs with quality care is vital. But it’s also about the touch of a hand, the laughter between friends and the joy that spreads across a client’s face that truly reflect what our team does every single day. It’s about those moments when a caregiver or nurse goes above and beyond, when a client becomes a friend and when your loved one reaches a medical milestone that matter to everyone we have the honor to serve. The women and men of BrightStar Care® weave a beautiful tapestry of compassion, joy and hope that make this an organization we’re proud to be a part of. One of our caregivers sums it up well, “I enjoy doing what I do and BrightStar helps me do that to the best of my ability every single day.” Please enjoy this video capturing just a few of the special relationships we’ve built. And if your loved one needs Companion Care, Personal Care or Skilled Nursing Care, you can find a BrightStar Care location near you — we serve clients of all ages, from infants to seniors. If you were touched by these stories and would like to learn about serving as a nurse or caregiver, learn more about making a career transition to BrightStar Care.

Connecting Independent Seniors with a Helping Hand

The Naborforce StoryOur origin story comes from the personal experience of Founder & CEO, Paige Wilson. A successful executive in both finance and investment banking, Paige found herself juggling the needs of managing her career, raising her own family and being the primary caregiver for her aging mother.Paige witnessed firsthand the stress of being sandwiched, balancing career and family. She couldnt be everywhere and do everything. Equally hard was knowing that her mother sensed she was a burden, intentionally not asking for help even though she could benefit from some.The aha momentAfter her mother passed away, Paige had a vision that she could combine her business background with her passion to help seniors and their families reduce stress and restore JOY in the lives of older adults.It was an aha moment when she realized the answer was right in the community. By leveraging technology, Naborforce connects older adults and their families to a network of purpose-driven people right in their community.
