The Gold Seal of Approval® is a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to providing safe and effective care.

“Our experience working with the Joint Commission has been invaluable.

BrightStar Care of North Hills/Pittsburgh, which has an A+ rating with the BBB, also recently received the 2017 Best of Home Care Provider of Choice from Home Care Pulse.

To better ensure top-quality client care, BrightStar Care of North Hills/Pittsburgh has adopted a mobile application from Rappora that enables caregivers to properly document care in the home as it happens. “With this technology, nurses back in the office can monitor all activities and receive alerts if anything is out of the ordinary,” said Dan Ogren, co-founder of Rappora. “Our technology also gives homecare providers access to crucial information so they can prevent problems before they happen.”

The mobile application was designed to be light and easy to use so caregivers can spend more time focusing on the client and less time looking at their phone. “We believe caregivers are often forgotten when it comes to homecare technology,” added Ogren. “Our goal at Rappora is to empower caregivers with the tools they need to keep people healthy, happy and at home.”
