The only improvement that I can think of that needs to be made at Sycamore Hills By the Bay is there is not enough parking. That is my only complaint about this facility. Everyone is very nice, the facility is really clean. I am really happy with my experience here so far.
My in laws are very happy at Acacia Glen Senior Apartments and we are very fortunate to have gotten them in so quickly. The people are all very nice and the management team is thoughtful and considerate. They are very quick to respond to any issues such as repairs. This facility was our first choice. I would recommend Acacia Glen Senior Apartments to others.
I rate them a five on everything except friendliness. On that they get a ten!!!!! My loved one's circumstances were such she was there a little more than two months. It was an interim stop between acute care and home. They knew that. She was sort of a grump, but everyone treated her well--staff and residents. I am grateful to The Broadmoor for my loved one's positive experience.
