Horrible experience. This agency has given my mother the run around the entire time when they were supposed to be servicing my aunt. They have a lack of communication with the caregivers and leave the clients with no one. This company sounds like a scam - they do not service the hours yet authorized the hours. I would not recommend this agency for any loved ones.

I grew up in Pittsburgh with a bounty of nationally renowned healthcare options, and MarsCare would easily thrive amongst them. I have nothing but positive remarks to give for their employees professional nature and prowess. 5/5!

Marscare is a joke! Please believe me I was an employee here and let me tell you they are so backwards I dont understand how they are up and running still and why someone has yet to contact the state and let the know about the conduct of the people at this agency. The workers are untrained ans sent to cases without properly training and info...there are barely any up to date medical administration records in the home....the nurses and or aide dont show up for cases yet they still submit time sheets and received checks for services never rendered. Some of the clients will tell you that they are

I worked for them and am sorry to say they dont care about their employees time or concerns. Theyre not honest about the clients they send to you concerning their serious health issues family issues or mental problems. The corporate staff is unapproachable unfriendly and arrogant and the coordinators look down on the aids. If youre a good skilled aid dont work here.

I've been a client of Mars care for 6 years. My experiences with the staff, and the quality of the service has fallen drastically. I personally don't recommend this agency at all. They're very petty unprofessional people. I wonder how they're still open and they're not trained to I am sorry that I ever got involved in the agency.
