Hackensack, NJ

2. Patricia Preztunik, Owner
The driving force behind local owner Patricia Preztunik is her
relentless desire to “do well and do good.”
Patricia leads her team in business and community engagement,
always seeking ways to combine great care and a positive work
environment to change people‟s lives.
• Patricia was motivated into opening a health care business by very
personal challenges in providing care for her mother, a cancer
patient who was optimistic in seeking each next path forward.
• With her husband, she also experienced ups and downs when her
father-in-law battled with complications from diabetes – seeking
home health care, hospice care, and service excellence.

3. Our People
At the outset, Patricia Preztunik recruited longtime friend Kathy
Onorato to help find great caregivers. Kathy personally understands
the challenges and how overwhelming it can be to care for loved ones
in need.
Kathy cared for her 92-year-old grandmother while raising two small
children. Kathy brings a strong childcare sensibility to the forefront of
BrightStar.

4. Our People
If the soul of BrightStar is a desire to raise the bar in health care, the
heart of delivering on that promise is the leadership of a great nurse
and nursing team, available 24/7 to families and caregivers alike.
A four month search brought Ines Chacon into the fold, with her
strong professional background of having worked across New Jersey
assisted living and post-acute care centers.
Ines brings a wonderful can-do attitude and love for patients. Ines
leads her team in the day, and as part of the „sandwich generation‟ at
night– taking care at home of both a young son and a young-at-heart
dad. Ines becomes a part of each patient‟s family: as daughter,
caregiver and confidant, around the clock.

5. Our People
As the business thrived Suzanne Miller was recruited to head the
business office.
Suzanne was tasked to continue a very personalized service approach
as BrightStar‟s client base increased.
And finally, with his quiet and steady manner, Peter Lagomarsino
joined to drive the sales and referral partner relationships. And as
with Patricia, Kathy and Ines, Suzanne and Pete also know the
challenges that come with home health care. Suzanne took on the
responsibilities of cancer care for four family members. Pete has
worked with special needs children and continues to volunteer with
seniors at a local hospital. Together, they never forget how their
workday decisions can affect people‟s lives, through great hiring,
thoughtful staffing, timely follow up and a kind word!
