I recently toured the community and found the environment to be quite nice. However, I did notice that the overall demeanor of the staff seemed noticeably low in morale compared to the other two communities I visited for my mother. Additionally, I had concerns regarding the Executive Director, Gina. During our conversation, her responses lacked clarity and seemed to reflect limited experience in operational leadership. Compared to the other communities, this left me questioning the strength of the leadership team and the level of support available to families and staff. While I don t mean to be harsh, I believe honest feedback is important when evaluating care options for a loved one when asked to leave a review. I hope this company can provide additional training to the Executive Director so she can better manage her team and provide a better environment for staff, families touring, and the residents that live there.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care and support we've received at Bickford of St. Charles. From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere put us at ease during a challenging time. The staff is truly amazing! Each team member shows genuine compassion and dedication, making it clear that they are committed to creating a nurturing environment for all residents. The personalized care my loved one has received has significantly improved their quality of life, and it brings us great comfort to know they are in such capable hands. The sense of community here is remarkable. Residents engage in various activities that foster friendships and a true sense of belonging. It’s heartwarming to see my loved one thrive in such a supportive environment. I also want to highlight the family advocate who guided us through the transition process. Her expertise and understanding made a daunting experience much smoother, answering all our questions and providing reassurance every step of the way. Overall, I highly recommend Bickford of St. Charles to anyone seeking an assisted living community. The combination of great care, exceptional staff, and a strong sense of community makes it a wonderful home for residents.

The place is beautiful, looks like a hotel and lots of activities planned. But there is nothing “assisted” about Bickford. My mom was there to recover from a broken hip because my dad was unable to help her at home. We asked them multiple times to make sure she got walked, asked them to elevate her feet and put on leg massagers to help get rid of edema, asked them to install the toilet seat lift we purchased, none of it was done. The worst was she also has cancer and the tumor was pressing on her bladder. They put her in diapers, which is fine, but then an open wound was created due to sitting in dirty and wet diapers. When we asked them to make sure she is clean and dry, there were numerous times we visited and she needed to be changed. (One of us visited daily) Honestly, all they do is wheel people to meals and then they’re left alone in their rooms. We moved my mom to a different place five days ago and her edema is already gone and they are actually caring for her feet with massages and lotion to get them healthy again. She’s not as depressed and they actually make her walk everywhere and do the things we ask. (You know, the things we are paying them to do) I understand there are a lot of people in some of these facilities, but when the care worker who saw my sister struggling in the hall after my mom pooped her pants responds that she “couldn’t help”, we knew Bickford was actually making my moms health deteriorate instead of improve. Do a lot of research and ask a lot of questions before leaving your loved one at Bickford St Charles.
