Senior Helpers-Raleigh NC area-Ryan Murray owner review: Communication

My dad was in the hospital with Heart Failure and Senior Helpers was aware of this but they still sent someone to the house even though we were not there and they knew of the situation. They charged us for the day because they said we didn’t cancel the caregiver but they knew he was in hospital. They also charged us for an amount of hours that we have never used for my dad for an any given day. Below is the nice email I sent to owner, Ryan Murray and after multiple calls and emails, I still have not received a call back nor email and it has been several months. So disappointed in the level of professionalism . It’s not even about the money at this point, it is the lack of care and respect as I have never experienced an owner or organization not communicating with their customers. I am in the customer service business myself and I would never treat my customers like this even if I felt they were wrong.

Dear Ryan-
I’m reaching out because I’m genuinely concerned about how long it has taken to hear back from you. This isn’t the level of communication I expect, especially as a customer. You also know that we have never had anyone here for seven hours straight. I can understand being charged for our usual three to four hours, but seven hours has never happened and doesn’t feel reasonable.

I want to be fair, and I’m sorry this situation has become so frustrating, but communication is a basic expectation. Responding to calls and messages is the first step in good customer service. I work in this field myself, and I would never leave a customer without a response, regardless of the situation. It’s simply not professional, and it feels like you’re not acknowledging how concerning this is from our side.
