Hear From Our Franchisees
-
When my father passed away a little over four years ago, he was very fortunate in having a wonderful end of life experience, and I felt privileged to have been there. What I realized in going through those final months with him was how critical it was to have a support system, and coming from a large family I was very fortunate to have that.
- Brian & Maureen Silven, Norwood MA -
What attracted me to BrightStar was the models and systems they had in place. It was different than the other businesses I was looking at in terms of home care. There was a passion behind BrightStar, and I could see that when I met the folks at BrightStar.
- JP Merchant, Central & North Westchester County NY -
The good news about that was that six months allowed me to be very prepared, so when the doors were opened I came out flying.
