Inconsistent availability and night coverage
A few reviews raise concerns about last-minute cancellations or inconsistent night nurse coverage.
Two reviewers describe problems related to staffing reliability, including being cancelled at the last minute and not always having availability. One review also mentions negative experiences with night nurses, describing that different nurses were assigned and that at least one did not stay fully engaged. In both cases, reviewers still distinguish better experiences during daytime care or with a specific day nurse, suggesting consistency may vary by shift. These concerns are outweighed by many positive accounts, but they are recurring enough to note plainly.
