[This place is run by an amazing team of people who are loving, patient and capable. When my dad was hospitalized on a holiday weekend, StarLight was able to find a caregiver for my mom within 24 hrs. They have helped with hospital visits, coordinating the signing of legal documents, getting takeouts, shopping for hard to find light bulbs, dealing with impossible furniture deliveries, all whist caring for my “extra grace required” parents. They have a solid selection of care givers who can take on daily shifts or 24 hour care. They also have a client portal where I can see the visit logs, ongoing schedule, and caregiver profiles. I’m so grateful for what they have done for my family! Laurie G., Los Gatos, CA]
