Assisted Living
My parents were well taken and became stronger. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. The facility was clean and roomy allowed for several walks a day inside. The staff knew their names and checked on them several times a day.
My loved one was previously a resident at The Reserve at Amarillo and the experience was great for her at this facility. The Reserve is an amazing place. My loved one's stay was a respite stay. But short term or long term, I would recommend The Reserve at Amarillo to others. My loved one passed in March, but she would have been going back for another stay this summer if she were still with us.
And a very, very good place. This is the best in class in terms of memory care facilities. It felt like home while my dad was there. The staff exceeded expectations. So did the food and everything else. I presume that Sycamore is on the higher end in terms of the cost, but you get what you pay for. I would do it all over again - no question. Thank you, Sycamore.
