BrightStar Lifecare
Will and Debbi Lowder see their personal care company as a way to fill a critical care gap for a growing/aging population. In demand for its high-quality care, BrightStar began its third year of operation by opening a new office in downtown Greenville to better serve its western Upstate clients.
Providing professional, in-home personal care for the aging or the ill – as well as other services, including transportation, lawn services, house cleaning, and more – BrightStar now includes 60-plus people in its care network and six full-time staff members.
For Will and Debbi, top-notch service is a priority. “That’s why we have added staff as we’ve grown, to maintain excellent oversight over our care-giving,” says Will.
Now BrightStar is Community Long Term Care-certified, allowing them to serve disabled people who need special assistance for daily living through Medicaid.
Will was inspired to start BrightStar by caring for his ill parents and a desire to serve his home community. BrightStar has been his springboard to support the Alzheimer’s Association and Red Cross. Debbi joined Will full-time in 2009 to oversee daily operations.
