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

The Senior's Journey

There are two paths that seniors take as they age: the lower path and the higher path

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.

We had an amazing time playing Bingo and just having fun on our 80’s day for National Assisted Living Week! We are definitely “Shining Through the Years!

It has been one groovy day! We have some groovy fun throughout the day! Our Bingo game was out of sight! Our National Assisted Living Week has been full of celebration for the entire community! During our 70s social, sponsored by Bayada, residents created groovy necklaces that are so creative. We are grateful for nurse Amber from Bayada for the snacks that she brought for residents and BFMs! She has a wonderful way of spreading a little sunshine each time she comes!

Peace, love, and plenty of fun filled our Sensational ’60s Day! Our Pet Therapy friends, Piku and Farzana, joined us for the celebration as residents and BFMs enjoyed wearing peace-sign medallion necklaces, colorful shades, and flower headbands. We were definitely feeling the ’60s spirit! Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care.

Hooray to ACG Hospice for hosting our ice cream bars party as we sat on the front porch. We kept our 60s vibe all the way through with musical tunes along the way. This certainly was a time of social interactions and a way to create new memories! The breeze was nice as Melissa and Michelle passed out some gifts and ice cream! We are so thankful for their sponsorship and love for our community! Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care

Our Roaring 20s day was amazing as residents wore their fedoras and flapper headbands during our Bickford Jam. DJ Sarah (resident) kept us entertained with great tunes as we danced to music from one decade to another! There’s more fun to come as we celebrate National Assisted Living Week!

National Assisted Living Week celebrations are underway! We are so grateful to Suncrest Hospice for sponsoring a Kona Ice shaved-ice experience for our community! Our residents chose their favorite flavors, and we shared plenty of laughs while enjoying our delicious treats together on the front porch. We also celebrated our September birthday babies with a wonderful jazz concert featuring Ken Keller. We always love hearing him play and sing! And, of course, we had a little fun dressing up and partying through the decades for our Rock N’ Roll 50s Day! Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care

Our goal is to enhance resident engagement through Montessori-based activities with Averett University’s nursing students which is a wonderful program called Project Love Meter! Our residents love the relationships and connections they build each week with the students. We are so grateful for their participation in facilitating our Bickford Jam this Monday on our first day of Assisted Living Week. It was our Roaring 20’s day which was a blast!

We are grateful for our friends at Fox Rehab and especially Jessica, who educates our residents each month on topics that support their health, safety, and independence. Today’s focus was “fall prevention”, providing our residents with helpful tips to stay safe and reduce their risk of falls. Thank you, Jessica, and the entire Fox Rehab team, for all you do for our residents! Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care

(name removed) is thriving and that's what we want to see. Staff Interaction with Mary B. residents has been really good. Special shoutout to (name removed) (nickname) and (name removed) Thank you for having a such a good sense of humor. ❤️???? | Also, I wanted to say thank you to (name removed) in the afternoon.

The fine staff is ever there for my mom! Writing for my family, no doubt we are blessed with the fine service!

Very happy (name removed) is being well cared for and we have enjoyed getting to know the staff and residents. Would love to see some type of medical care feedback such as lab results, BP, and anything that is done at checkups. Do I need to take her to a doctor for her checkups? Before coming to Bickford she had 6 month checkup visits. |

Never disappointed. Ever helpfully informed of any issues.

We are happy with (name removed) care she is receiving. Big shoutout to (names removed) . They are amazing! They demonstrate genuine compassion when working with residents of Mary B. The only reason I did not rate 5 is because a few times there have been a couple of the younger newer caregivers that I feel maybe need a little more coaching when directly responding to and helping the residents in Mary B. I do understand that they have a very challenging job so I do not want to complain, just a few observations when I visit.

In these challenging times, trying to keep up with my mother's care is not always cut and dry. The Bickford staff has been a constant and ready resource. Our family is grateful for the Bickford family.
