Overall Review of Timmerman D And M Family Care Home

common 18 reviews mention this

Staff and providers feel attentive

Many residents describe providers and staff as kind, knowledgeable, and willing to explain care.

A large share of reviews mention doctors who take time to talk, explain treatments, and answer questions in a way residents feel comfortable with. Families also describe staff as friendly and helpful, including front desk guidance and medication guidance. A smaller set of reviews goes the other direction, calling out rudeness or poor bedside manner, so experiences vary by provider and visit.

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Waits and scheduling issues come up

Several reviewers report long waits or delays beyond scheduled appointment times.

Multiple reviews describe appointments running late, including being kept waiting for about an hour or more. Others mention issues like double-booking, confusion about where to go, or the need to reschedule after arriving. One reviewer also notes that wait time was better on their visit, but overall timing complaints are a recurring theme.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Reschedules and access can be frustrating

Some residents report problems with appointment confirmations, reschedules, or follow-through.

Several reviews mention appointments being canceled or changed, sometimes after confirmations, leading to missed trips or extra rescheduling. There are also complaints about calls ending quickly, being marked as missed despite notifying the office, and limited ability to get the next steps needed. On the other hand, some reviews describe smooth, speedy visits, suggesting this is not consistent for everyone.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Medication and prescriptions drew mixed feedback

Reviews mention both thorough medication help and concerns about refills or prescription changes.

Some residents praise the ability to ask questions about medications and get clear explanations, and at least one review says refills or prescription handling was difficult. Other reviews describe prescription changes or the wrong medication leading to ongoing issues. A few comments also tie medication-related problems to a lack of follow-through with referrals or next steps.
