Community Reviews
Great staff personal
reviewed on: 01/18/2016 by AnonymousThe staff here at Sycamore Village has been nothing but helpful and kind to us through this whole transition. I really feel like we can count on them for anything.
Recommended for great care.
reviewed on: 08/24/2016 by AnonymousMy husband is being taken care of very well in this community. The staff is very friendly and helpful with him. The room and grounds are clean and well kept. They are doing all that they can to help him keep active. I know when I am not there with him that he is in good hands. I would recommend to others who are needing good care.
Be a part of their life, no matter where they go
reviewed on: 10/25/2016 by EstherI appreciate all that they did. I would remind myself that my Mom was not the only one there, and unless I could afford a private nurse, it was unreasonable to expect them to drop everything and go to her. I was in a position that I could go everyday and I did. My Mom having a safe place to be helped me get to be more of a daughter rather than a caregiver. Not so much for my Mom, but the other ladies were very bored. They wanted something to do, besides hearing about the bad news in the newspaper and the obituaries. I thought this was a little odd, I felt something more uplifting/positive would be better. I kept my Mom from any bad news. I only wanted happy thoughts for her. She had enough bad thoughts without any help. Then there was a time one of the ladies was scolded for not remembering something she was told the day before (this was in memory care).
Mixed experience
reviewed on: 02/11/2016 by AnonymousOur experience with Sycamore Village has been somewhat mixed. I think it's a nice place overall, and the care they provide is good, but there is some definite room for improvement. The staff here is absolutely wonderful, they're friendly and it seems like every single one of them knows how to work with memory care patients. That being said, I'd like to see a higher staff to resident ratio in their highest care wing. The care wings themselves could be a bit better organized. The general idea is that there are 4 wings ranging from the lowest to highest level of care, but one of my loved ones shares a suite bathroom with a gentleman who obviously should be in a much higher level of care.
Start here for caring for Alzheimer's
reviewed on: 12/16/2013 by AnonymousI really don't know where to begin when people ask me about Sycamore Village. All I can say is if you have come to this website and are in need of being convinced that you are making the correct decision, go and visit the facility. My aunt was a victim of the system and thanks to them, I was able to rescue her and give her happiness for the rest of her life. For me that says it all. I urge you to investigate and find out as I have that someone with Alzheimer's is a a special person in need of specialized care. This facility has proved time and time again their dedication to the Alzheimer's patient. Go and see for yourself.
