[I rarely give public endorsements to businesses, but when a business delivers to impossible expectations, it’s deserving of recognition.
My 80+ year old mother fell three times within a year, and endured constant pain recovering from shingles. She preferred aging in place at her home but refused the idea of a caregiver. To make the situation more challenging my mother only speaks Cantonese and is generally anti social. I worked with Starlight for a year to figure out a solution to a seemingly impossible situation. The Starlight team, lead by Duanni was extremely patient, understanding and accommodating. We tried multiple caregivers and they are all excellent. They are very experienced dealing with caring for the elderly that want to age in place, and in particular, dealing with cross cultural and communication differences within a family unit.
Today my mother is great friends with both her caregivers and is living a more independent and happier life than I thought possible. And that makes the extended family’s lives much happier as well. We have Starlight to thank for it. Ed Y., Palo Alto, CA]
