We left Sinclair a week or so ago and I already miss the staff so my Grandmother told me I should take some time to praise the people who keep Sinclair beautiful. When you arrive you will be welcomed warmly by Otegia. She is always so helpful and is honest with her answers to your questions. Hope Tucker is the General Manager and she keeps the place together, you could say she is the glue but she is so warm and understanding, ill never forget hearing about how wonderful and amazing this property was before I arrived and Hope absolutely lives up to the stories. You will notice the place feels like luxury ... It that is all thanks to the housekeeper Karen. Last but not least you have to give an applause to the maintenance man Steve who is newer but the way he showed compassion and understanding during the pandemic to insure everyones needs was an understatement. I hope this gives whoever is reading this the confidence to call and setup an appointment and get to know this great community.

I truly miss the professionalism of the staff. My Mother was a resident and recently moved. I truly appreciated the cleanliness of the facility and the feel of the surrounding community. There was always residence interacting in the main lobby.
