Some training and communication issues

A few reviews mention problems with oversight, training, or last-minute updates.

While most feedback is positive, at least one reviewer says services weren’t done correctly at times due to inexperience, along with a lack of oversight or follow-up from the office. Another reviewer describes administrative processes as difficult and notes an instance where a backup caregiver didn’t arrive and the family wasn’t informed until the last minute.
