[This agency is top notch. My father needs 24/7 care, can’t walk, is on dialysis, has a pacemaker and yet gets bored and sometimes demanding. They have gone out of their way to make life more serene for him and for me. The staff is very dedicated to their work. Our main caregiver is a dream and my father adores her. The staff is quick to react, extremely professional and extremely loving and caring. I would recommend Starlight, Duanni Hurd and her excellent team in a heart beat. Sylvie W., Atherton, CA]
