Community Reviews
Time and Understanding
reviewed on: 09/09/2019 by fdsimmons1My mother has resided in SV for 5 years. I was initially surprised by the cost...further comparison revealed they are more than reasonably priced. For the most, service and employees are good. Sometimes the aides to patients ratio is not sufficient...however, they manage the situation. The food is not fine dining... basically nutritional for the residents. There is consistent turnover in aides...But, that is the nature of the nurse assistant career field...they move based on pay, facility etc...So, this is not unusual. My recommendation to anyone placing a love one in ANY assisted facility..."Continue to make it your responsibility...for their care and well being...Don't put all the responsibility on the facility or employees." In layman terms...don't just stick them in there...and forget about them!!!
We have peace of mind, we know she is being taken care of.
reviewed on: 01/16/2014 by JillThe laundry is our biggest complaint, they don't have a good handle on doing the laundry and getting back to the right people. She's getting good care and they are very nice, but they need to get a better handle on things missing from peoples rooms. I felt like they really knew what Alzheimers and dementia, was. You could tell immediately that they had experience with it, just watching them deal with the other residents. We have peace of mind, we know she is being taken care of.
Needs More Workers and Better Food
reviewed on: 08/31/2015 by AnonymousMy loved one was only there for about a week, so there isn't much to review it on. They probably needed more workers and if I could compare it to other places, I would say they came up a little short on the food.
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).
Sycamore Village has delivered everything they promised for us!
reviewed on: 08/30/2015 by K LautnerWe researched and decided on Sycamore Village to care for my sister. She checked in just over two weeks ago. In my search I was more concerned with the care and the people who would care for my sister than the building and looks of the place. In Sycamore Village we found both. I have been so pleased with the way the employees treat her and our family. We are there a lot in the evenings and they welcome us with open arms. They are genuine and they do a great job of hiring the right people. I cannot say enough about the care she is receiving. I do have to agree that they have a hard time getting the laundry straight as far as what goes back to who but that is so unimportant to me compared to the way they treat the residents! I love Sycamore Village and would recommend it to anyone!
