Bickford of Aurora

Your loved one deserves to live the best life possible

Watch your loved one thrive in an environment that feels like home

Navigating the aging journey is difficult.

We understand what’s at stake here: it’s not just someone, it’s your loved one.

Meanwhile, it’s on you to make the difficult decisions.

There's a Higher Path for our seniors

Senior care today is reactive, expensive, and siloed. It’s a sick-care system, not a health-care system (designed to keep seniors healthy). Most of us have accepted this status quo because it feels too big and complex to change. Not us. We’re taking the road less traveled and championing a higher standard of senior care.

At Bickford of Aurora we are using the Montessori principle of breaking tasks into manageable steps. Our Memory Care residents are doing meaningful things every day! Tuesday they were helping prepare the carrots for dinner. We love that our Residents are living with a purpose and enjoying every moment!! #assistedliving#memorycare

What you can expect if you join our family. home style food with made from scratch recipes, only the best choice and prime grades of beef, poultry, pork and seafood. We can also accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions (gluten-restricted, diabetic, no added salt). Today’s menu consisted of Hawaiian Macaroni salad, red potato beef stew, seasoned catfish, parm potatoes, veggies and chocolate eclairs for dessert!

As dementia progresses, many traditional memory care communities focus on what individuals can no longer do. But what if we turned that approach on its head—focusing instead on what people can do? That is precisely the world that we at Bickford of Aurora strive to create for our residents. With Montessori-based dementia programming we emphasize independence, autonomy, and a sense of purpose. This philosophy sees every person as capable of growth and connection, regardless of cognitive decline. Due to embracing the education of Montessori dementia programming we are dedicated to creating meaningful activities that align with the person's interests and abilities, hands-on materials that are familiar, easy to use, and success-oriented, and choice and engagement, allowing the individual to take part in their own care and routines.

Look what Erin whipped up tonight for dinner. Baked spaghetti BUT the star of the show, according to her residents…. Was the Key Lime Parfait. A few may have requested seconds on that. Thanks, Erin, for always putting your special ingredient in there… LOVE. it makes all the difference.

Keeping our residents engaged and doing the things they loved and enjoyed in their own home is so very important for their overall happiness and health included. Irene’s daughter told me that Irene knitted for many many years and how happy she was to see her picking it back up again.

    I am very pleased with the Bickford staff. So many caring nurses and care givers. I feel my husband is getting very good care and that is such a relief to know and count on. I am there everyday so I feel qualified to give a 5 rating.
