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.

    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.

    Great, clean facility, with staff that cares. Being one floor is a plus as you always see residents out and about, often doing puzzles in the puzzle corner, or playing games together. I have been in a lot of assisted livings and you will see how the residents are out and about in the mornings in the courtyard! I also love that the memory care wing has its own courtyard with plants, and residents aren’t just alone in their rooms all day (and are almost always together). Definitely worth a tour!

    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!

    Not having toured other facilities to compare with, I'm leaving 4 stars. But it's probably really 5! Bickford and everything it offers have been wonderful with my father. He is happy here, and I can tell because he calls me and tells me everything multiple times a day! Abby and Shirley are very caring and helpful, always answering my texts and phone calls. Abby even sends me photos of my dad when they have activities/events. This place fell into our lap at exactly the right time and I couldn't ask for a more caring and compassionate staff. Thanks for being there for my dad!
