Assisted Living
A living option for seniors or individuals who require assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, or medication management while maintaining a level of independence. Assisted living facilities offer personalized care plans and social activities that promote quality of life for their residents.

Respite Care
Respite care is short-term or temporary care. Respite care can be provided in adult day centers, in private homes via home health agencies and in senior living communities, most often assisted living or skilled nursing facilities.

From the moment you walk into Bickford of Aurora, you're greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere that truly feels like home. The building is beautiful, comfortable, and inviting, making residents and visitors feel at ease. The staff are incredibly caring, compassionate, and attentive. They take the time to get to know each resident and treat them with kindness, dignity, and respect. As an outside hospice nurse, I've had the opportunity to work alongside many of the caregivers, and I'm consistently impressed by their professionalism and genuine concern for the people they care for. The care provided in the Mary B's Memory Care unit is exceptional. The team is patient, skilled, and dedicated to creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment for residents living with memory loss. It's evident that they truly care about each person's well-being and quality of life. I have great confidence in the care provided at Bickford of Aurora and would not hesitate to recommend this community to families looking for compassionate memory care for their loved one.

My mom is currently residing at Bickford of Aurora for a respite stay while she receives chemotherapy. She has been there for about 3 weeks now and has settled into a good routine. We love the homey feel of the place with several areas to gather with visitors, the beautiful courtyard that residents can access at anytime and the friendly staff. My mom especially enjoys her aides, Jamie the activities director, and the delicious and healthy food she has been eating. No place is ever perfect, but from our experience, the majority of the Bickford staff has gone above and beyond to assist my mom whenever needed.

My father in law had dementia and it was time to find somewhere close to home that would give him the best care. After a lot of searching, Bickford of Aurora was the best choice for our family. My father in law was well cared for all the way to the very end of his life. The staff was all so wonderful. Each and every staff member not only knew my mother in law that was there daily, but knew the rest of us that came often, but not as often as my mother in law. The evening my father in law passed away, you could see how shattered the staff was. The compassion that they showed our family through my father in law’s time at Bickford carried through until the very end. Staff even came to the wake and continue to check in on our family even to this day. When you become a part of Bickford, you just don’t become a patient, you become a part of their family that each staff member truly cares about and that is extended to the family of the resident. We are forever grateful for everything Bickford.

My dad has been a resident at Bickford of Aurora for about 2 months and my family is very pleased with his care in assisted living. We originally toured three years ago when my dad was diagnosed w dementia symptoms. We have Katie to thank for her outreach and patience for the timely caring way he was able to be admitted when he was no longer able to stay at home.
