The staff at Bickford in Fort Dodge is so welcoming just like the overall feel of the building. It’s always well kept and fresh & we appreciate how well maintained they keep the grounds. The amazing food is just the added bonus when we go for our visits we always make sure we join in for meal time with their incredible home cooked meals it’s a no-brainer!

We can stop at anytime of day and I’ve found the place clean and organized. We have stopped without asking ahead of time with lunch for our Mom and they put us up in a separate dining room without any problems. I’ve never heard any complaints from Mom at all and I’m pretty sure if she had any we would know.
