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.

Nothing like a little sunshine and a friendly round of golf on the patio! Our residents had a tee-rific time enjoying the fresh air and showing off their putting skills. Laughter, competition, and great company made it a hole-in-one kind of day! #PatioPutting #SeniorSwing #LifeAtBickford #ForeFun #BickfordSeniorLiving

Today, our very own Shipwright Jerry gave an incredible presentation in honor of National Boating Week, showcasing the model boats he’s handcrafted with care and precision. Jerry has spent hundreds of hours meticulously crafting each vessel, and he was proud to share his passion with his friends. He’s been talking about it all week at the dinner table—and sure enough, his tablemates showed up to cheer him on. What a wonderful display of talent, dedication, and community! #NationalBoatingWeek #BickfordMoments #HandcraftedWithLove #MontessoriInAction #MontessoriDementia #MontessoriMoments #ShipwrightJerry

Thank you so much to everyone that came to Jamaica and especially to all of our BFMs for making tonight absolutely spectacular! What started as a fun idea during a brainstorming session turned into a beautiful celebration of culture, community, and teamwork. With four incredible Jamaican BFMs on our team, we knew a Jamaica-themed party was the perfect way to honor them! Steve connected with Annette, who's sister owns a Jamaican food truck, and she brought the flavor! Meanwhile, Nadia and Donna picked out the decorations, and Kaidian and Annette whipped up some delicious traditional Jamaican drinks. This afternoon, our Jamaican BFMs helped bring everything to life—and the whole team joined in! It was amazing to see ALL our BFMs come together to make the night unforgettable. #Teamwork #CulturalCelebration #JamaicaNight #LifeAtBickford #BFMPride #SeniorLivingFun #OneLove #BickfordSeniorLiving

I think they need an assistant activities director to fill the gap when (name removed) is off. I personally think they should have some type of activity most every day....including Saturday.

My mom says that the food could be more appetizing

My mother seems very much at home at Bickford. Thanks for making that happen!

It just upsets me that she never seems happy with any of the food served. With the cost of the residence, I would hope that the meals would be of a higher quality. Other then that, she seems to enjoy all the staff and stays busy. Thanks

There should be more activities for memory care besides watching tv and sitting at the dining tables with books.

All of my complaints have to do with the dining room. Some days it's a surprise what the residents will eat. The menu hasn't been posted, or there is a change. There still isn't enough help passing out beverages and food. The meat is often tough. The cakes consistently are dry. The tables are not always set with enough silverware or glasses. The floor needs to be mopped more often. The addition of the handicapped people do help, and the tables are set when they come.

I would like to commend (name removed) for their help in assisting me in getting my mother, who is confined to a wheelchair and is a Mary B resident, to a medical appointment, and in providing her records for the appointment. What used to be so simple is now a Herculean group effort to accomplish, and their attention, timeliness, and sympathetic professionalism towards the task was a tremendous help!
