4.5 / 5.0

They're doing their best when it's hard to get staff these days. I appreciate that, and they're good people. I wish we could always count on having the same people, but again, they staff they have are great. The facility itself is wonderful - it's very pleasant and attractive, and it makes people fe...

5 / 5.0

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.

5 / 5.0

The facility is very nice, close to stores, shops, parks & movie theatre. Lots of good restaurants near by. However, food is provided here, sometimes people like to go out to a restaurant. They have a lot of activities to do, a nice variety.
