I'm not sure that I agree that as people get older they get less reliable. I think it is just their basic personality coming out as they get more used to themselves. Some people are always on time, some people are always late. It is just a fact of life. When dealing with someone that is always later, I either tell them the start time is much earlier than it actually is so they arrive closer to on-time or I do what was suggested above and just give them a few minutes and then go on.
