  • Small assignments are welcome: Halcyon sets no minimum hours or shift requirements for home-care clients.

What critics are saying

  • Field work requires transportation: Halcyon makes reliable transportation a condition on its careers page.
  • Caregiver shifts include short assignments: the advertised role spans day and night shifts lasting one to twelve hours.
