Care
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.
Memory Care
Memory care communities offer specialized care and support for individuals dealing with memory-related conditions, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. These facilities are equipped with trained staff and offer engaging activities designed to promote well-being while ensuring a safe living environment.
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.

The community is so beautiful inside and when I toured, the residents were having so much fun playing a game with balloons! It was nice to see the staff being so interactive with the residents. Jordyn was very pleasant and so was Laurel, the executive director. Wonderful place.

Serious warning to families considering Bickford of Battle Creek. My mother stayed at a facility run by Bickford Executive Director Laurel Space, and our family’s experience was deeply distressing due to her mismanagement and behavior. We discovered evidence of physical mistreatment, including scars on her knees that appeared consistent with her being dragged along the hallway and injuries that raised serious concerns about her being struck. We only learned the full extent of what may have happened because an employee eventually found the courage to speak up about concerns involving staff. When we raised these issues with Laurel Space, rather than focusing on our mother’s welfare, acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, or offering a meaningful apology, the priority appeared to be identifying the employee who had spoken to our family. We were also made to feel that reporting the matter to the authorities was somehow a problem for her personally. She is more concerned about her own job than the safety and welfare of your parents and loved ones. She will cover up and attack you if you try to take action to fix anything. By the comments you can tell this place is already having issues. If Laurel Space is involved in running Bickford of Battle Creek, families should conduct thorough due diligence and ask very direct questions about safeguarding, complaint handling, internal investigations, staff accountability, and protections for whistleblowers. If her management approach is similar to what our family experienced at Vibrant, I would be extremely cautious. This review reflects our family’s experience and concerns. Families should independently investigate the facility, request its inspection and complaint history, and speak with current and former residents’ families before placing a loved one there.

Choosing a senior living community for an our loved one is one of the hardest decisions we as a family has made, but Bickford of Battle Creek has made the entire process a blessing. From the moment you walk in, you feel a sense of warmth and 'home' that you just don't find everywhere else. The facility itself is beautiful, clean, and always smells wonderful (which really speaks to their attention to detail), but the real heart of Bickford is the staff. I cannot say enough about William, the Director of Nursing. He is truly phenomenal. His clinical expertise is matched only by his deep compassion for the residents. He doesn't just manage the medical side of things; he truly takes the time to get to know each person and ensures their care is personalized and dignified. Knowing William is at the helm of the nursing department gives our family such incredible peace of mind.
