caveat 6 reviews mention this

Communication and scheduling can slip

Several reviews raise concerns about missed visits, weak communication, and delays.

A recurring negative theme is inconsistent communication about appointments, including messages not getting through and visits arriving late or not arriving at all. Some reviewers also describe difficulty reaching the right person to address problems, and concerns about policies being handled differently from one staff member to another. In a few cases, families say they lost confidence due to lack of follow-up, notification, or responsiveness when issues came up.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Bloodwork access is mixed

Bloodwork help is mentioned in both positive and negative reviews.

One review says the team was willing to come for bloodwork at home when other options were limited. Another review describes difficulty getting bloodwork done successfully over repeated attempts, along with limited follow-up when orders were pending. Together, these accounts suggest bloodwork support may depend on the situation and staffing availability.
