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.

Bickford of Gurnee Reviews

Deciding to move a loved one from independent to assisted living is not an easy journey. Especially when up against an end-of-lease situation. Abby made things happen quickly (which we know is not the norm) and the entire team at Bickford showed compassion, respect, and caring – both to our father and to us as we made the transition. The approach that Bickford is their resident’s HOME rings true in all that they do. Abby asked about dad’s likes, dislikes, favorite foods, etc. All the little things that matter when making a person feel comfortable and safe. Dad is very content there, and most importantly safe and well cared for.

Bickford Senior Living Gurnee continues to be an excellent choice and home for our mom. At 97, she’s provided the care and support needed to continue living semi-independently which is just what she wanted. Our family was able to furnish her apartment with items from her home, bringing familiarity and comfort to mom. The management team and staff have been great to work with, (thanks Tim and Abby) providing friendly, kind, and caring support each day. Frequent activities and interactions with other residents plus tasty well-prepared meals really helps keep mom’s spirits up. (Btw, we’ve been welcomed to join mom for lunch when we visit). After exploring numerous facilities in Lake County prior to selecting, it’s clear Bickford was the right choice for mom. It was also the right choice for “US” her family as well. The facility is warm, inviting, and quiet enough to relax and enjoy our visits. And we’re able to visit as often as we like.

Abby is truly amazing! She goes above and beyond to answer the same questions many times to help my family understand. She makes everyone feel welcome and special and I just can’t say enough words about her! The facility is very clean and all the staff seems super friendly! The enclosed courtyard is BEAUTIFUL and safe, which I love. They make the residents feel it is their home and not a facility. The “restaurant”is cute and makes them feel it is a family dining experience. The residents can either eat there or have food brought to their room, and they have many food choices. There are many common areas to watch tv, do a puzzle, etc. They also have a church service option onsite WHICH WE LOVE. Bickford is so accommodating and I have loved every time we have went in there. Again, shout out to Abby and Miss Shirley!

Our parents just moved in to Bickford and we are so pleased and happy with everything! All of the staff members and nurses are so kind and helpful. They really take care of our parents and treat them with respect. We can also count on Abby to be there for all of our questions she always responds back to our calls or texts. She’s been a huge help and we can see how much she loves her job and taking care of everyone. Thanks to EVERYONE at Bickford
