I love Sycamore Glen Active Senior Community it is a great place for Active seniors. It's like living at an all included resort. Or you could say it's like being on a cruise without the ship. They have everything you need. The apartments are spacious (when you set it up right). I really had to downsize but I wanted to minimize my things for years so moving here was right down my Ally. The staff are great. The food is great. The housekeepers are top notch. The activities are not overwhelming. The exercise classes are designed for the senior population. Birthday night is a super great celebration. The Glen chior does a great job. The Sunday church service is non demonstration and the preacher is a very blessed. The residents are very friendly. The holidays are ?? celebrated. It's like one big family. One of the residents says it's like having 100 sisters and 35 brothers. If you need special help it is ready and available. They check on you if they don't see your safety comes first.... Read more

December 4, 2023Thank you, Laura, for your 5-Star review! We appreciate your kind words
For the last forty years, I've been visiting and playing piano for retirement homes and convalescent hospitals here in Chico. When my parents decided it was time to move from their home in Capay to a retirement community in Chico, I knew immediately which home I wanted for them, Sycamore Glen. When you walk into Sycamore Glen, you immediately feel welcome. Seniors are sitting comfortably chatting about their day's plans with their family members. Some are eating in the community dining hall where a wide variety of meals are offered every day with a lengthy menu. Everyday there are many activities planned for any residents or family members who would like to join. In addition, there are always groups of friends who have organized their own table games, card games. The apartments are clean, well painted, filters replaced regularly, and a housecleaner comes weekly to vacuum, clean the kitchenette and bathroom. My mother feels safe and has many friends. Sycamore Glen has become home.

December 1, 2023Thank you for your kind words, Brian! We are honored and delighted that your mother has chosen to make Sycamore Glen her home. And our residents always enjoy your entertainment!
I have found that the staff at Sycamore Glen Retirement are very friendly and helpful. My apartment is small but well planned. The theatre in the facility seats about 20 residents. Movies and Netflix are played several times a week. There is also a restaurant with a menu. I would recommend Sycamore Glen to others looking for independent living.

The best, hardest-working staff I’ve ever seen. Safe, beautiful, clean and friendly atmosphere. Excellent dining. So many things to do if you like. Beautiful grounds to walk and enjoy. They have a great respect for each person’s wishes. Their attention to detail is unsurpassed. My mom absolutely loved it there. Thank you, Sycamore Glen!

Even though the time had finally come my family was apprehensive about placing our 90 year old father in a retirement community. After a short time we all, (my father included) agreed he should have made the move year's earlier. Sycamore Glen is a wonderful, safe, clean and friendly environment. All of the staff are caring and compassionate. The food is excellence and the service top notch. Knowing our father had a great, safe and compassionate place to live out his life was such a relief for all of us. My wife keeps telling me that were going to live at Sycamore Glen when we get to the age of needing a little help but still wanting to keep our independence.

Sycamore Glen staff are what makes it a perfect spot for the residents. They are careing and responsive and take the responsiblities very seriously. My aunt is safe and well cared for. The knowledge that she is there, is priceless. I have no worries and know she has a comfortable and loving place to live, at this stage of her life.

Honestly, I would give Sycamore Glen Retirement a 5 on all of these items. We have been very happy with our choice of Sycamore Glen for my loved one. We appreciate the help we got from A Place for Mom. It seemed daunting at first and it was nice to have a place to turn to for guidance.

July 14, 2022Thank you for taking the time to submit this review, although your choice of words is perplexing. We hope readers will consider our many 5-star reviews.
I have lived here now for almost one year. I chose Sycamore Glen after visiting two other communities and have been extremely happy here. The senior staff are very pleasant and helpful and provide many activities when COVID allows. The wait staff are pleasant young people and the food here is excellent with many choices for every meal.

I toured Sycamore Glen first when I was looking for Senior Living. I feel in love immediately and chose an apt right then and there. No need to look further. I am very excited to be here! Thank you for being so welcoming.

December 7, 2021Thank you for your 5-star review! We are pleased and delighted that you chose to make Sycamore Glen your home and we are proud to serve you.
When Mom was helping my Aunt and Uncle look for an independent living place to relocate to in 1995, she was so impressed with Sycamore Glen that she decided that if the time came for her to move this is were she wanted to be. Well, that time came in November of 2018 after the Camp Fire destroyed the Paradise area. With so many seniors looking for new housing, we were fortunate to get one of the studio apartments by February. It was perfect! Mom had a beautiful view of the front courtyard area in one of the second floor apartments. The staff was always attentive and eager to help with questions. An added bonus is the bus that can get residents to doctor appointments or shopping areas if relatives are not available. There are many activities available on a daily basis, as well as special occasion events to enjoy. Sycamore Glen is well worth the monthly cost. They always go above and beyond to provide a safe and fun place for their residents. Highly recommended.

I have lived here several years and consider it a privilege to be a resident. I think the director and staff are continuing to maintain and improve the appearance and cleanliness of the facility. The servers are well trained and eager to please. The choices of food give us the ability to select and enjoy what we want.

January 28, 2021Thank you, Norma. It is our pleasure to have you as a resident.
Sycamore Glen welcomed my mother and provided her not just a home to live, but a community that would nurture her. The staff became an extended family and supported her in the transition to new routines as well as activities. I can't say enough about the friendly, professional and genuine staff.

January 28, 2021Thank you for your kind words, Jennifer. We were happy to have had your mother with us at Sycamore Glen.
The lunch was pleasant, and the three women with whom I shared a table were friendly. One had been there for firve years, another one year, and the third for two months. So I received answers from a variety of experiences, all positive. The tour was relaxed and showed me the variety and breadth of the place. Very nice!!
