Medicare: We’re going to talk about it
As of 2023, an estimated 19% of the U.S. population was covered by Medicare. Many, if not most of our clients at Starlight Caregivers are using one of the Medicare health insurance programs offered by the federal government which become available to those 65 and up.

[If I could give them 10 stars I would. Starlight Caregivers was extremely professional, helpful and sympathetic to our needs especially when we were going through hospice care for my grandmother. They were very resourceful and extremely professional. They provided us with documents highlighting their proof of insurance and coverage. They carefully screen their employees and that gave us a lot of comfort.
They are highly specialized in bilingual service for the Chinese, and that was definitely something that we desperately needed for my grandmother because she didn’t speak any English. After her passing days, they still followed up with us to see how the family was doing and provided us with resources to help us cope with the loss. It made us feel that they were a part of our family. Denise H., San Jose]
