2. About the Owners of BrightStar Lake Forest
BrightStar is a continuation of the passion for excellence that
Phyllis and Larry Straight have demonstrated in the power
industry around the world for more than 20 years.
Phyllis comes from a family of nurses and watched her mother
work in Hospice for years; finally receiving hospice care.
As long distance caregiver of Larry’s father, Phyllis understands
the frustration of managing care when you can’t be there every
day.

3. Zachariah, their son, having been diagnosed with Crohn’s
disease in 1999, has seen healthcare from the patient
perspective.
When Zach moved to the Midwest in 2007 to be closer to his
grandfather who was in a nursing home, he watched his
grandpa and his Uncle Al deal with physical issues and
Alzheimer’s disease, bringing him face to face with the realities
of finding quality care.

4. Stephanie, Zach’s wife, has a degree in Sports Medicine and
Athletic Training. She has worked in the medical field since
2000, and assisted in the rehabilitation of her grandmother
who suffered from a stroke in 2006.
Phyllis, Larry, Zach, and Stephanie all have a heart to serve
people. They care about serving families, covenant
relationships, and making certain that everyone who comes in
contact with BrightStar of Lake Forest gets the most excellent
care available. “We only hire nurses, CNA’s, and
caregiver’s that we would trust caring for our own
family.”

7. People
Kid Care Coordinator, Lorie Briggs
Lorie Briggs, BrightStar’s KidCare Coordinator, is the mother of
two teenage boys, Jake and Zach. In 1993, she found herself
struggling to juggle her full time job and the needs of a colicky
child.
As a single mom she felt helpless, as she was called from work
nearly every day to pick up her crying son. This led to her
passionate calling to open Lorie’s Lambs Daycare, a licensed
daycare in Huntington Beach, to help carry the weight of other
moms dealing with the issues of working and raising a family.
“Each one of those kids was like my own,” she says, and today
she continues to stay in touch with many of her no longer so
little “lambs”.

8. People
Lorie’s compassionate heart for children and the needs of their
parents, especially special needs children, has led her to
reaching out to them through our excellent BrightStar program.
She loves building a care plan for each child based on his or
her needs and interests, and has real compassion for every
child and adult she serves.
