Sycamore Glen - Active Senior Community

Vanda

Besides the fact that the food is good, my apartment is very nice and adequate, I am HAPPY here -- I feel cared about, the staff is so very nice and helpful, I have made very nice friends and able to keep busy with various activities. Mostly, I feel SAFE! Worried about finances? Sit down and make a list of your current expenses --- rent where you live now, or if you own your home, property taxes, insurance, home owners fee if in a condo, weekly food bill, utilities, going to the movies, ...

The personnel is wonderful. From front desk to servers to room cleaners to activities director and grounds keeper! It can become a real home.

Moving to Sycamore Glen is a whole different experience because we've always lived in our homes, so it took a little bit of time to get used to, but we love it. The staff is very good and the people that serve the restaurant are so nice. The young people are really wonderful, and everybody is really, really nice and good to us. The food is really good, and I really like it. We went out to eat for Mother's Day with my kids, and it's much nicer here. I like the food here better. If I order somet...

I've been here at Sycamore Glen for 11 years now. The staff is really great. They hire professional people for the main jobs. They hire college aides occasionally and high school servers and work in the kitchen. They are well screened, and they are really caring kids. We have our rooms cleaned once a week by more adult type people. They do a good job. The facilities are very good. They have 1-bedroom units and they all have a balcony that looks out either on a courtyard or some that look out awa...

I am so happy to know my Mom and her husband are being cared for at Sycamore Glen. They absolutely love all the activities provided and the support of the staff! Such piece of mind when I am so far away especially through the time of quarantine. The facility provided a very safe environment.

I moved my aunt into Sycamore Glen, and during my week working to do that, I found the residents to be so very friendly and kind. The facility is wonderful, very comfortable, and offers all the amenties anyone might need or want. They seem to have a very full calendar of events to choose from, and varied menu (super great Chef who is willing to work with you on diet issues), and a priceless staff. The staff has been so kind and helpful from day 1, and continue to do all they can to assist my ...

My widowed Mom has lived at The Glen for almost 2 years after the Camp Fire forced her to reevaluate her living situation. She made a very, very good choice! When we first toured in late 2018, those we queried in the halls would share how pleased they were with the food. That's important! The Glen offers diverse menus--- not "here's what you're having. Like it and clean your plate" which is common at other local independent living residences. It is an institutional kitchen, but the staff CARES,...

This facility is amazing. I would have to say the best part is the staff. They are friendly and readily available to help their clients with anything (including their TV, cell phones and computers). Residents feel a part of this family. I noticed during covid, they would even go to the store for residents to keep them safer. I feel the safety of the residents was of the upmost importance during covid.

I enjoy it here. The staff is wonderful. The food is very good, we have a menu, and they serve meals 3 times a day. We have games, we play cards, and we have exercises. You can't put it all in all the time, it's really quite active. They are very kind to you, if you have a problem, they fix it as soon as they can. They're very, very generous with their hospitality, and I like the residents, too. I've been here almost two years now. They're very nice people and they're accommodating. I have no ne...

I think Sycamore Glen is a great place to be. They treat us all good, and they try to keep activities going that we might be interested in. I think the staff on the whole is very good. They are very considerate, and they do their best to take good care of us. They're getting better with the meals, and they maintain the facility very well. We are getting the value for our money. There is one exercise class that I take which I like very well. If you have a problem, you can go to the front desk and...

I live in Sycamore Glen. It has been very good. I've been here for four and a half years, and I'm a widow and 90 years old. I had fallen and broken my hip, so I had to give up my home. I use a walker but I'm quite independent otherwise. I don't drive anymore but everything here seems to be very good. I have a 1-bedroom apartment, and I sew and make quilts. The people here are very good to us. They clean our rooms once a week, and we have three meals a day. We play cards and there's entertainmen...

During this pandemic crisis, Sycamore staff has worked tirelessly to keep the residents safe. Can't thank them enough.

My mother has moved into Sycamore Glen. I haven't really spent very much time there, and it hasn't been very long that she's been there. It seems to be an active place for older people. With the pandemic, we weren't allowed to go in for a while, but everybody I've dealt with seemed very good. She's told me that she's playing some games, and they have movies. I know that she's been to at least one movie. She's very complimentary of the food. From what I've seen so far, from the little bit that I ...

Sycamore Glen Active Senior Community was a big place and was okay, though it wasn't anything spectacular. The dining area was a little bit bigger. And they have you set up on the same table every night so they can keep an eye on you. They did group trips to casinos and to different places, they did a lot of those kinds of things. They didn't have a pool, they're just a basic community, though they have places for people to sit.

I have visited friends in Sycamore Glen. It's more affordable than my mom's current community and they have a few more activities. Their median age is also lower. They always have something going on, and a lot of the activities are actually run by the residents. That's a good sign of high morale with the residents. They just do what they want to do, and if something is great they just go for it. It's a different mentality and everybody likes everybody else. They have game rooms, hobby rooms, lau...

Wonderful community! Only regret is not finding it sooner! Father in-law was home all day alone while we worked. We were selfish to think WE were enough for his life. He need friends his age and activities to look forward to each day! Now he has both plus more fun than anybody his age should have! And the food is delicious 😋

Sycamore Glen is the one we like the most. They had studio apartments and 1-bedroom apartments. It wasn't quite as modern in its layout. It was quite adequate other than the rooms being a bit smaller. When we were there, residents were finishing a Sunday lunch and were starting card games. There was craft session going on. Everybody was doing something and seemed positive about it. The little interaction that I had with the staff was also quite positive. They had a few common rooms, a common kit...

Sycamore Glen was very nice. The people were prepared for us and were waiting for us when we showed up. The staff was very nice and organized and the facility was clean. It was a good experience. The place is quiet, relaxed and comfortable. They have a good transportation program. They have a lot of musical activities, piano, and events going on. They have access to facilities if you want to cook outside of your unit. They fed us lunch and it was very good.

Sycamore Glen's grounds are nice and the people are nice. The food is excellent. There's a soup, salad, and dessert bar anytime between 11:00 and 5:00, which is great. The apartment I looked at was very nice and acceptable to me. I wasn't too happy about the $2,500 non-refundable deposit, which was outrageous and over the top, so I told the supervisor to call me if they have an offer of a free move-in. The residents were all friendly and the staff was nice.

I cannot say enough positive things about Sycamore Glen and the amazing staff. They have been incredibly supportive and patient as my father worked through his decision to relocate from San Diego to Chico to be closer to family. It took almost 2 years and over the entire time Barbara and Stephanie were nothing but kind, compassionate, patient and supportive! Since moving in a couple of weeks ago my father has transitioned incredibly well. He spends time in the lobby talking with other residen...

I visited Sycamore Glen. I didn't go to an apartment, but I went inside the hallways and it's a little bit more hospital like. Their menu was better and had a lot of selection. The dining area was a little nicer than the other places. It's a little bit more formal and a little prettier. They had a lot more activities. They also have yoga. The facility was beautiful.

Evelyn

I feel like I am on a cruise as the entire staff treats us (residents) like we are the most important people in the world! Food is great. Activities are plentiful and varied. I couldn't ask for more.

Moved Mother from a Chico retirement center. Comparing Sycamore Glen to the other location is like night and day. Sycamore Glen offers great food selections, extremely professional staff, and activities that stimulates participation within the community. The facilities are kept clean and support to resolve any problems are promptly addressed. (We have had to install an answering machine to leave a message for our Mother to call us when she had time to do so.)

Sycamore Glen was very nice but not as big as the other one. It has a nice restaurant but less menu choices. The other one has a swimming pool, and this one doesn’t, but it was a very nice place. They were very nice, and when I called with questions, they answered them right away. There were people playing cards and different things.

My older brother is living at Sycamore Glen and enjoys it very much. His studio apartment is in excellent condition, the staff are very cordial and attentive to his needs, and he enjoys the relationship with other seniors.

Very caring and helpful staff. Comfortable and safe place to live.

Sycamore Glen was a beautiful facility. The food was very good. I had a meal there and it was very nice. I'm a reader and I asked if they had a library; however, what they had there were a couple of racks that turned and had books on them. That's not quite what I was looking for. The people were very nice, but they're a little limited. Overall, it isn't what I personally would want, but it is a very nice facility.
