BrightStar Care of Northern Ocean County Franchise

The agency serves communities including Toms River, Brick, Manchester Township, Point Pleasant, Jackson, Berkeley Township, Lakehurst, and surrounding areas. As a home health provider, nurses work in a visiting capacity, providing care in clients' homes rather than in a fixed facility setting. The agency operates under the leadership of an RN Director of Nursing and emphasizes a 'higher standard' of care. Nurses are typically deployed for in-home visits, with the employer advertising $100 per visit (maximum 2 hours including travel time) and an additional hourly rate of $51 when applicable. The franchise is part of the broader BrightStar Care network, which has mixed employee reviews nationally, with employees generally appreciating the flexible schedules and mission-driven work but noting concerns around pay, benefits, and job security. This specific franchise's independent ownership means workplace experiences may vary from the national brand averages.
