The quality of care at Bickford has been exceptional. My Grandma previously lived at two other senior living and care facilities, and the level of compassion, attentiveness, communication, and personalized care she receives at Bickford truly stands out. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable about dementia and memory care and understand how to support her unique needs as her condition progresses. They treat her with kindness and dignity, keep our family informed, and make a genuine effort to keep her engaged, comfortable, and well cared for. We are incredibly grateful to have found Bickford and have tremendous peace of mind knowing my grandma is in such capable and caring hands.

We are very grateful for the care my dad received while living at Bickford Tinley Park. The A-Team in the morning are so appreciated for the care they provided even when my dad wasn’t on his best behavior. Every facility like this has challenges keeping staff so there are times when things can be done better. Overall, this was the best place for my dad when he needed the extra care.

Where do I begin? I can feel finally sleep knowing my dad’s in a great community. Actually, community is the perfect word as everyone cares so much! From Dawn, the Executive Director, to Meredith, the Patient Advocate, to Rene, the Activity Coordinator, to the nurses, chefs, CNAs and even the guest ambassador dogs, Lola and Archie, everyone looks out for my loved one. If my LO isn’t around for the ice cream social, Toya, one of the CNAs seeks him out! Every staff member is hands on!!! Plus, it’s beautiful!!! It’s truly like a family !!! So blessed to have my dad here!

This is by far the most difficult review I have ever written. At one point, I had drafted a letter to send to the Governor of Illinois recognizing the outstanding efforts of the frontline caregivers who cared for my mother at this location. Individuals such as Eve, Michelle, Marcia, Randy, Tim, Kecia, Jallesa, and many others whose names I regretfully cannot recall at this moment, provided care that was compassionate, attentive, and unmatched. The love and dignity they showed my mother will never be forgotten. Unfortunately, my appreciation for the caregiving staff stands in stark contrast to the deeply troubling administrative and financial practices I later uncovered. While reviewing recent invoices, I discovered that we were being overcharged for services well beyond what was agreed upon. What followed was even more alarming. The Executive Director, Dawn, demonstrated a complete unwillingness to correct obvious billing errors or take accountability in a timely or professional manner. Her repeated responses were dismissive and deflective, often stating things such as, “I’m sorry the sales director didn’t make you aware of this charge,” or “There’s nothing I can do—corporate has to address it.” Most concerning was discovering that we were triple-charged for the same room on the same dates, with three separate charges listed as $175, $275, and $375. Charging three different rates for the same room, for the same dates, is indefensible and raises serious concerns about billing integrity and potential fraud. Let me be very clear: DO NOT enroll in auto-pay at this facility. Had I not carefully reviewed the invoices, these charges would have gone unnoticed and unchallenged. It is deeply disturbing that one day I was preparing a letter commending this facility to the Governor of Illinois, and the next day I found myself drafting correspondence to the Illinois Department of Public Health and other regulatory authorities to address what appears to be fraudulent and unethical conduct. Families entrust senior living facilities with their loved ones during their most vulnerable moments. While the caregivers here deserve recognition, the administrative leadership and billing practices at this location completely undermined that trust. Proceed with extreme caution.
