opportunity to run a small business. When Judy and I heard about
BrightStar, we decided it was a perfect opportunity to help families,
create jobs, and establish a business in this growing industry right
here in our hometown area of Dupage-Wheaton.

15. Sonia Del Campo | Office Administrator
“ I joined the Dupage-Wheaton office of BrightStar to connect
with clients and our people who serve them- our great Caregiving
staff. My role is to work with our Care Managers to match the
skills, personalities and availability of our field staff with the needs
of each client. Job #1 is to be sure that each of our staff members
knows where they need to be and when to be there. In the
healthcare business, our clients’ needs change with every passing
hour and I help meet those needs by sending our field care team
to them.

“ Over the years of my career, I have worked as a geriatric care
manager, State of Illinois elder abuse investigator, and meals-on-
wheels coordinator. I am also certified by the Alzheimer’s
Association as a dementia care manager.
As a geriatric social worker, I feel my strengths are in a broad
knowledge of older adult life-span issues, which I apply to client
focused assessment, care planning, client/family and staff
education, and use of appropriate durable medical equipment.
I believe in BrightStar’s mission to Make More Possible, and am an
advocate for keeping older adults safe and happy in their own
homes.

allows me to do what I’m passionate about: Making More Possible
for the seniors in our community.

“ My personal experience of caring for my father with Dementia
and my special son with Autism inspired me to consider a
transition from a successful 20+ years as a marketing executive

BrightStar.
My mission to expand our impact and thought leadership on the
community has resulted in a positive experience for our elderly
and children with special needs.
My Northwestern Kellogg MBA in marketing/International Business
and management experience has also been a wonderful asset in
establishing our reputation as a quality and responsive provider of
care throughout DuPage county and nationwide.
