If I had a dime for each time this question was posed of me … well, I’d have a dime for each tie this question was posed for me.  Matter-of-factly, all companies have the bases covered, quality (yes, expect nothing less); trained (truly?); we work with you (uh-huh) .  You get the picture?  When I’m vetting a company to whom I would refer my clients  I look for those bits and pieces that make them stand out in the crowd. 

True caring and ddication … when was the last time you saw the CEO of a hospital come into your mother’s room and plump her pillows because the night shift RN called in sick?  Well, I’ve seen it here in Illinois.  Time and time again, BrightStar owners have gone in, stayed up, worked late, served as – because that’s what they do.    24/7 MEANS 24/7 – you get a person answering the phone.

There are other differentiators that put Bright Star in a league of their own – this is just ONE.  Stay tuned for the others.

As a member of the Central Kane County TRIAD, I learn about the crazy, ‘new’ scams that unscrupulous people try to pull on our elders.  This events leave our seniors SCARED, SCAMMED, AND SUSPICIOUS…. how about trading in those ‘S’ words for SMART, SECURE, SAFE?   The purpose and goals of TRIAD:

• To increase awareness of crimes against senior citizens.  
• To sponsor programs for senior citizens to reduce fear of crime and educate older citizens about preventive measures they can take to protect themselves.  
• To emphasize the abuse, neglect, and exploitation of senior citizens as crimes.  
• To improve communication and understanding between seniors and law enforcement.  
• To improve communication and understanding of the different roles of elder abuse agencies, and other appropriate organizations.

Check in with The Senior Site often to learn about new ’scams’ as well as our efforts to educate through TRIAD.
