I highly recommend Bickford for anyone who requires a higher level of care. Not only is the building beautiful and clean but the staff are amazing! Bianca and her team were very responsive and proactive in helping my grandmother. My grandmother loved it here and in the event she needs to return to assisted living, she will go back to Bickford. Thank you for genuinely caring!

This is a wonderful assisted living home! The staff is awesome! Above and beyond with kindness. To resident and family. My dad was hospitalized with an illness and needed a skilled facility for a few weeks. The staff came to visit him there and brought him treats. We were so glad when he went back to Bickford. Trish went out of her way to make this happen. They truly are family. My Dad has been at Bickford in Marshalltown for over a year. He has had several health issues, where he has gotten ill very quickly. The staff handles these situations very well. They notified me when they noticed behavior changes and called EMS when needed. I am a nurse and I have confidence in the caregivers there. Glad we have chosen Bickford to be home!

Bickford cottage was the home of our grandma Betty for over a decade. She was treated with the upmost respect and dignity during her time here and lived a wonderful last chapter of your life. I would highly recommend this place to anybody.
