Reliability can be hit or miss
Most reviews speak highly of dependability, but at least one review raises reliability concerns.
One reviewer calls the service reliable and describes strong support, while another reports workers were not reliable and says management never checked on employees. Because these accounts pull in opposite directions, reliability may vary by staffing situation, and families may want to confirm continuity expectations.
