Your loved one deserves to live the best life possible

Watch your loved one thrive in an environment that feels like home

Navigating the aging journey is difficult.

We understand what’s at stake here: it’s not just someone, it’s your loved one.

Meanwhile, it’s on you to make the difficult decisions.

There's a Higher Path for our seniors

The Senior's Journey

There are two paths that seniors take as they age: the lower path and the higher path

Senior care today is reactive, expensive, and siloed. It’s a sick-care system, not a health-care system (designed to keep seniors healthy). Most of us have accepted this status quo because it feels too big and complex to change. Not us. We’re taking the road less traveled and championing a higher standard of senior care.

We like Bickford very much. But once again I will ask you to please, please change the two heavy double front doors. I struggle mightily to get my wheelchair bound husband in and out of them by myself. Thank you. I also think the many broken bricks in the front parking area are a hazard and a liability. The food is delicious. The staff are kind and caring. (name removed), the happiness coordinator is a great asset. She does a terrific job. (name removed)

The care-giving staff is excellent- but I am not sure if housekeeping is doing their best. My brother's bathroom is not as clean as I would like it. (name removed) told me that he was monitoring housekeeping during the day to make sure my brother's sheets and towels were getting washed-but my sister said towel was dirty, so I'm not sure.

It's been good overall; however, I feel like Mary B's could be cleaner. I feel there is a difference in cleanliness when you walk from the assisted living area to Mary B's. I'm not sure how often housekeeping visits Mary B's or who is in charge of keeping things clean (ie - carpets vacuumed, floors mopped, etc.), but there's a noticeable difference between the two.

I miss having regular access to (name removed) in memory care. She has been the primary source of my satisfaction in that area.

Bickford is an excellent environment for my mom. She is very happy with all the staff. I am blessed to have my mom in such a friendly, loving environment.

In my opinion, the place is light on staff on weekends.
