Oklahoma City, Okla. - When Jarod Cannicott acquired his first BrightStar Care territories in the Oklahoma City metro in 2021, he set out to build a home care organization families could rely on during some of the hardest moments of their lives. That mission has now grown into a single, integrated agency serving much of Oklahoma – including Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and communities from Elk City to Ardmore, Ponca City, and Grove – under one unified standard of high‑quality care.
By 2025, Cannicott expanded further by acquiring the long‑standing BrightStar Care location in Tulsa, which had served the community for 17 years but needed stronger consistency and clinical oversight to meet his expectations. The Tulsa operation was rebuilt with new staffing, enhanced training, and tighter RN leadership so families across the region would receive the same level of care as those in the Oklahoma City metro.
Today, Cannicott’s integrated agency operates five BrightStar Care locations with approximately 250 caregivers across Oklahoma, allowing the team to respond quickly when new needs arise, often starting personal care the same day a family calls. A live BrightStar Care team member answers the phone 24/7, rather than a third‑party call center, so families and referral partners can reach someone who truly understands local resources and client needs.
At the heart of the agency is a nurse‑led model that goes beyond traditional home care, with Registered Nurses involved not only in clinical decision‑making but also in scheduling and community liaison roles. BrightStar Care in Oklahoma maintains Joint Commission accreditation and reassesses clients at least every 90 days, helping ensure that care plans stay aligned with each client’s changing health and family situation.
With this integrated structure, BrightStar Care of Oklahoma delivers both non‑medical and higher‑acuity in‑home services, including personal care, companion care, private‑pay skilled nursing, catastrophic workers’ compensation support, home infusions, therapy, and specialized care for Veterans living with complex conditions such as ALS. These services are designed to help clients remain safely at home while also easing the burden on spouses and family caregivers who may be juggling work, children, and their own health needs.
Serving Veterans is a particular focus for the Oklahoma team, which participates in the Homemaker and Home Health Aide program and partners with the VA to provide skilled care at home when medical needs increase. “We serve the Veteran by supporting the spouse,” Cannicott often says, reflecting the agency’s commitment to caring for the entire household, not just the individual receiving services.
To give families, community partners, and referral sources an even closer look at what this integration means for care quality and access, BrightStar Care of Oklahoma has developed a dedicated blog post reflecting on this story and the agency’s journey: https://www.brightstarcare.com/locations/oklahoma-city/about-us/blog/expanding-to-serve-oklahoma-families-what-brightstar-care%E2%80%99s-growth-means-for-your-loved-one/
BrightStar Care of Oklahoma continues to provide comprehensive in‑home care – including personal care, companion care, and skilled nursing – with RN oversight for children, adults, seniors, and Veterans throughout the Oklahoma City metro and across its integrated Oklahoma service area.
