About Orono Resident Makes Career Shirt to Care for Aging Community New Home Care Agency Opening in Plymouth, Offers Free Initial Assessment by Nurse
PLYMOUTH (April 2019) – Orono resident Justin Prisendorf is fulfilling his dreams of making a difference in the lives of his neighbors by opening a home care and medical staffing agency that offers free initial assessment by a nurse. BrightStar Care, a franchise with over 330 agencies across the country, provides a range of compassionate, person-centered medical and non-medical care to people of all ages in the safety and comfort of their homes. In addition to offering a myriad of comprehensive services that meet the highest industry standards, BrightStar Care helps educate people on the right questions to ask when searching for in-home care for their loved ones. Prisendorf’s BrightStar Care location covers the Plymouth, Minnetonka, Wayzata, Orono, Medina, Mound, Delano, Rogers, St. Michael and Buffalo areas.
Prior to opening this BrightStar Care agency, Prisendorf came from the media industry, owning a local newspaper in Florida. When Prisendorf and his wife moved back to Minnesota to be closer to family, he headed sales efforts for Li Mi, a global brand of children’s activewear that his wife controls and is based in Plymouth. Last year Prisendorf began exploring entrepreneurial opportunities. He discovered that serving the senior population was a true calling and BrightStar Care presented the perfect opportunity to fulfill this passion while meeting the needs of the country’s rapidly increasing aging population.
“I am so excited to take on the leadership of BrightStar Care and look forward to providing the utmost attention to our clients and caregivers that live in the area,” Prisendorf said. “By providing excellent care for you and your loved ones, we strive to be one of the most exceptional care agencies in anywhere.”
BrightStar Care offers residents a wide range of medical and non-medical services all that a registered nurse manages.
This BrightStar Care’s Director of Nursing Cynthia Anderson BSN, RN, PHN, IHH, creates unique, personalized plans of care for each client and manages a professional care team of well-qualified, experienced caregivers to deliver expert, compassionate, and personal care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Anderson has been a licensed nurse for 28 years and has spent most of her career working as a case manager or director in home care and assisted living facilities. At one point she even owned and operated an assisted living facility in Coon Rapids. In order to provide the highest standard of care possible, Prisendorf has hired only skilled, experienced and compassionate certified nursing assistants and nurses to help provide the care for clients.
The agency’s Director of Sales Jennifer Zachman, an active member of the Albertville community, is an experienced, enthusiastic and energetic proven problem solver. She previously has worked at some of the region’s leading senior facilities.
The national BrightStar Care franchise organization has received The Joint Commission’s Enterprise Champion for Quality award for the past six years in a row as a result of its commitment to have each of its agencies pursue and earn accreditation by The Joint Commission — a mark of clinical quality earned by reputable healthcare organizations across the country.
