Coverage gaps and staffing inconsistency

A few reviews describe extended gaps in service or difficulties maintaining consistent care.

Pricing and minimum-fee concerns

Pricing shows up as a drawback in a small number of reviews.

One reviewer felt they were paying too much for the services provided during a poor experience. Another notes that the decision came down to money compared with a less expensive alternative service. A separate review specifically calls out a minimum and flat-rate structure that they found mismatched to the hours they needed.
