Reliability varies by caregiver
A few reviews report missed or delayed caregiver coverage.
While many reviewers describe dependable service, a smaller set report problems with late arrivals, no-shows, or delays in sending someone when a caregiver called out. One review describes having to wait for additional help after a caregiver was late or unavailable, and another describes a no-call no-show.
