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.
Independent Living
Designed to help older adults who want to maintain an active and independent lifestyle, these communities offer services and amenities that cater to residents’ needs, while encouraging a sense of community and freedom from the responsibilities of owning a home.
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.

I’m asked at time to do maintenance work for Bickford. It is such a joy to be there around the residents and the staff. Actually It’s hard to think of them as residents and staff. I feel like I’m around a large family when I’m there and I should know, I came from a family of 10 children, When I am there it just makes me feel like home. It’s also a nice place to visit even if I’m not doing maintenance work. I am also a pastor, and I’ve been to many different facilities In the Rockford area but I find Bickford to be one of the most special places that I visit.

The process to get my mom into this facility was so easy. Dawn spent a lot of time with my sisters and I working with our finances and making sure the move in process was explained and run smoothly. The care is excellent! There is an abundance of staff that come by and check on my mom and meet her needs. The quality of food at each meal is excellent, starting with a salad, entree and dessert. We moved our mom from another facility that had a major staffing issue as well as a difficult director. So now we are happy that we found mom’s forever home.

The family advisor. Dawn was such a help as we were looking for a place for a friend.. She was very knowledgeable and cheerful, and as we walked through the branch, we couldn’t help but feel the love from the other caregivers that were there. It looks like a resort it was very clean and fresh and bright. Their approach to keeping seniors healthier longer through the higher path is groundbreaking and it’s something that all community should follow that deal with seniors-well done Bickford!

Making the decision to place a parent/loved one into assisted living is never an easy one. Bickford was there every step of the way to ensure the safety and utmost care was provided for my mom. This includes the decision-making process, move in process, and life after the move. The staff have been top notch both in taking care of my mom and also with assisting my dad dealing with placing his wife of 55+ years into care. A friendly, very clean, inviting and caring facility. Meals are delicious and well thought of for the residents of all. The approach Bickford takes of memory care, assisted living and independent care is an approach I have not seen before in a facility and one of the main reasons for our choice. Bringing everyone together verse segregation helps all. This is truly a place I would recommend. Thank you to all of the Bickford staff for providing the love and care you see right when you enter the facility…
