Care tenders was arranged to do home visits for PT and OT for my wife upon her release from rehab after surgery. Care Tenders totally failed to arrange any appointments, failed to schedule any appointments and provided absolutely no services whatsoever. As such she’s had no PT or OT from them. They don’t respond to phone calls either.

One Educational Nurse was sent out to my home, to show a Family member how to take care of my wound care and dressing treatments. I was uncomfortable with the Family member taking care of my wound care, so I called and asked the Nurse if she would come back and take care of me? She said, No! That was the only services rendered to me. Because I had already explained before being Discharged from the hospital, like I explained to Care tenders Nurse I didn’t need the PT or OT. Cindy, the RN. Was very Nice and Professional. I would’ve Enjoyed having her as my Nurse Care Provider. Thanks Care tender, for sending Mrs. Cindy, RN. Out to me!

I live with someone who has been using this service for "light cleaning" since I moved in with him last November. WORST SERVICE EVER!!! The company says someone will show up--and they don't. We call to find out what happened, and they say "Oh, they told us they couldn't make it. Didn't someone let you know? We'll see IF we can get someone out to you next week." And then, we don't hear from them the following week, either. In the 6 months that I've lived here, BLACK STONE HELP HAS ACTUALLY SHOWN UP ABOUT 1 WEEK OUT OF EVERY 4. THEY WERE CONTRACTED TO APPEAR WEEKLY. Of the employees that have shown up (there have been 4 different ones in the 6 months I've been here), only one was really competent. The others barely did any work at all, and what little they did was done badly. If I could give this company NO STARS for general incompetence, lack of interest, and mishandling of client communications, I'd do it.
