Embracing the HigherPath Philosophy At Bickford, we recognize two possible trajectories in a senior’s journey: 1. The Lower Path — reactive, disconnected, and driven by crisis care. 2. The HigherPath — holistic, proactive, and centered on wellness and prevention. The HigherPath philosophy focuses on four pillars: 1. Proactive Care – Acting before problems arise. 2. Integrated Clinical Teams – On-site primary care and strong physician collaboration. 3. Coordinated Networks – Therapy, hospice, pharmacy, and specialists working seamlessly. 4. Outcome-Focused Technology & Data Sharing – Predictive tools, wearables, consolidated health records. All of these factors lead to a powerful outcome: happier, healthier, longer lives for residents. Bickford of Saginaw: Bringing HigherPath to Our Community At our Saginaw location, we don’t just talk about this vision—we live it every day. Here’s how: 1. On‑Site Primary Care Residents have continuous access to a physician-led care team right here in the community, enabling timely assessments and early interventions. 2. High‑Performing Care Networks We’ve handpicked top local providers—physical therapists, home health, hospice, and more—to build a trusted, results-driven network that supports our residents’ needs. 3. HigherPath Councils Weekly interdisciplinary care meetings ensure our team—nurses, therapists, caregivers, family advocates—proactively reviews each resident’s wellbeing and adjusts care plans as needed. 4. Integrated Health Records We break down seclusion of clinical data. Shared, centralized records empower our entire team to make informed decisions in real time. 5. Technology & Monitoring Tools From wearables to fall-detection systems, we use advanced tools to identify risks early and act swiftly giving families confidence and residents peace of mind. 6. Support with Medicare & Healthcare Partners Through our partnerships, we assist residents and families in choosing Medicare plans aligned with HigherPath principles—emphasizing preventive, supportive care. Why It Matters in Saginaw Bickford of Saginaw is more than a senior living community—it’s a living embodiment of the HigherPath promise. Here’s what sets us apart: 1. Elevated Happiness – Our proactive care and engaging activities help maintain independence and joy. 2. Stronger Community – From scratch-made meals to pet-friendly spaces and spiritual support, we foster a family-like atmosphere. 3.
