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.

So delicious! Our Mary B’s residents had a blast frosting some cookies after enjoying the sweet treats. The room was filled with laughter, creativity, and sprinkles! And how adorable—Mary K even shared her cookie with the baby, spreading the love (and sugar!) around. Sweet moments like these make our community so special.

Taking the Higher Path: Flu Clinic at Bickford of Saginaw At Bickford of Saginaw, we believe in empowering our residents to live healthier, fuller lives—and that means taking proactive steps to protect their well-being. On Tuesday, September 30, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, we’re hosting our annual Flu Clinic right here in our branch. This event is more than just a health precaution—it’s a reflection of our commitment to the Higher Path. By choosing to receive their flu vaccines, our residents are making a powerful statement: that their health matters, and that prevention is a key part of living vibrantly. Our team is proud to support this initiative, ensuring that every resident has access to safe, convenient, and compassionate care. The flu vaccine helps reduce the risk of illness, hospitalizations, and complications—especially for older adults. It’s one more way we walk the Higher Path together. Let’s celebrate our residents for taking this important step toward wellness! Date: September 30, 2025 Time: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM Location: Bickford of Saginaw #FluClinic #HigherPathWellness #BickfordStrong #HealthyChoices #SeniorWellness #FluPrevention #BickfordOfSaginaw #WellnessMatters #CommunityCare #VaccinateToProtect

Afterward, they enjoyed making and tasting real, fresh-squeezed lemonade—sweet, tart, and full of smiles! A huge thank you to our dedicated BFM Tay for keeping our residents engaged and thriving through our enriching Montessori-based programming.

Today was Manicure Monday, and the energy was absolutely delightful! All the ladies were glowing with joy as they got pampered and treated to a little self-care. Laughter, good conversation, and the scent of fresh polish filled the room. There's something so powerful about taking time to care for yourself—and today, everyone walked out with fabulous nails and even brighter spirits. #ManicureMonday #SelfCare #PamperTime #HappyLadies #NailGoals

I appreciate the extra efforts put forth toward caring for my brother. It's not always easy. He's not your typical guy… But there are many of you that can see him as he is and meet him on his level… Learning to connect with each resident is an art… And I appreciate so much those of you who have figured him out

Only one concern. It's hard to get walkers and wheelchairs in through the front door because there is a strip of metal there that you have to go over and it's difficult to get walkers and wheelchairs in. If they could level that it would be easier and safer to get residents into the Saginaw Bickford. Thank you.

I understand how difficult it is to get "good" help. People are not raised with the work ethic as my generation was. There has been a big problem with how the aides are transferring mom to toilet: some do not realize or know that mom doesn't have the strength to "stand" holding the bar with ONE half good arm! I witnessed some have her stand, hold the bar and they're BEHIND her wheelchair and completely move away. They should be by her side, guide her up, slide chair away and proceed to move pants down. She's can't just back up either! She pivots slow. Same with getting her bed: why aren't they trained to LIFT UNDER HER ARMS?? Not left with just her bad side and attempt to get her bed!! She gets very nervous and more shaky! She can pivot slow if she's held up not slipping to her left side. I've witnessed where she ends up 1/2 on the edge of the bed. Then it's attempted to left her legs and she ends up across her bed. EVERYONE needs to be trained how to hold and transfer safely for both of them. Also getting her out of bed: mom says they "grab" her right forearm to pull her up, that's her stroke side. They should attempt to reach under her arm to pull up. She's had many bruises and some tears. We understand it's not an easy task, mom says I'm too heavy for them. There is a safe and proper way for everyone. And hygiene care is not completed at bedtime: teeth and face washed, powder under breast... the gals are in a "hurry" as mom says and won't bother them. Some are great and some not. I can't name them but ALL should be doing this care in the morning and evening. Mom won't

While I'm really happy with my mom's care, it upsets her to not know who is assigned to her each day. I don't why it bothers her so much to not know because she is always taken care of but if she could be told each morning, that would be one less thing for her to stew about!
Aug 1, 2025

All the employees that we have communicated with throughout the past month have been wonderful. Please keep these pleasant attitudes. We especially like when you encourage her. We can see that she is very content. Now for the challenge for (name removed) and I, to remember all the caregivers names. Thank you for all you do. We'll see you in a month.

Overall very satisfied with Bickford Still waiting for a key that works in my mom's closet.

Mostly, I'm VERY happy with the services and care my mother receives. The BFMs are kind and thoughtful to the residents, and come across as very caring. However, it was maddening to have told the aides that my mom's bath towels were missing 5 days ago, and when I was there yesterday, the towels had still not been located. My mother's things are marked with her name or initials, so the towels should've been found within those 4 days. Mom doesn't take her towels anywhere, I'm sure, so how did they disappear? I look in the laundry room to locate missing items every time I see my mom, and the towels weren't there since I discovered them missing. How do 2 bath towels and at least one hand towel just disappear? Besides that, missing towels also tells me she hasn't been showered for at least a week... she really needed a shower when I was at Bickford on July 27. (And I know she's a pill about being helped with that- I'm so sorry!) I've also been alerting people to my mom's missing trash can, which everyone said they remembered, for a month at least. It was finally located, washed, and returned yesterday when I asked about it for at least the 4th time. I know people lose their glasses a lot, but since I'm mentioning important missing things, if anyone sees a pastel pink glasses case in other residents' rooms, Mom's pink/purple rimmed glasses may be in them.
