I couldn’t believe how much the staff care about their residents. Our friend spent several weeks at Sycamore Care Strategies and it was so nice how he was treated. I’m sure they all enjoyed each other, as he was such a jokester! I highly recommend this facility for your loved ones!

Usually the staff is good with the residents but there are those few that "don't care about the residents" and should be in a different line of work
