BrightStar’s “Hire An Elf®” Program Helps Busy Family Caregivers Have a Stress Free Holiday Season

This Year, Ailing or Aging Loved Ones can still prepare for the Holidays Just the Way they have for Years.

Many people look forward to the holiday season all year, but for some people, the holidays can be stressful and exhausting. This time of year can be especially challenging for aging seniors or those recovering from surgery or disabilities.

BrightStar, a local family-owned home care agency, created their “Hire An Elf®” program as a way for busy families to lend a helping hand to the needs of aging or ailing loved ones. Whether they need help decorating around the house or a winter safety assessment, BrightStar Elves are standing by to provide some much needed relief to those in need this holiday season.

“We’re excited to spread the word about our Hire An Elf® program because it gives families a meaningful way to reach out and help someone they love. During this busy Holiday season, we know it’s difficult for families to be in ten places at once and now they don’t have to be. Our BrightStar caregivers are ready to provide companion services such as shopping for and wrapping gifts, baking cookies, decorating the house, transportation to and from holiday festivities and more,” said Rolph Blythe co-owner of BrightStar in Saint Louis Park.

BrightStar guarantees compatibility when matching up their caregivers – Elves – to the person in need. Families can have peace of mind knowing their family member, friend, fellow church member or long-distance relative is in the hands of a professionally licensed caregiver who will help make sure they’ll be able to prepare for the holidays just the way they have for years.

With 66 million family caregivers in the United States, spending an average of 20 hours a week providing care for their aging relative or special needs child, it’s hard enough finding that 20 hours throughout the year, and nearly impossible to do so during the holiday season.

At more than 250 locations throughout the country, BrightStar Care® Elves are standing by 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help the busy family caregiver with companion and healthcare services.

BrightStar services the areas of Saint Louis Park, South Minneapolis, Edina, Richfield, Eden Prairie, Bloomington and Golden Valley.
