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.

Beautiful Day at the Branch! Today we had the sweetest surprise in our building. Our Happiness & Wellness Director, Niibari, is preparing to welcome her first child a baby girl! We celebrated her with a surprise baby shower, and it was such a heartwarming moment. The residents were all smiles and truly enjoyed watching her open her gifts. It was a day filled with joy, love, and community. We’re so excited for you, Niibari! Congratulations on your little blessing.

We are working on getting the Branch Christmas trees up, and the holiday spirit is already starting to fill the building. It’s always exciting to see the season come to life with lights, decorations, and a little extra cheer. More festive moments to come as we get everything ready for the holidays.

What a Wonderful Day at the Branch! We had an exciting and joy-filled day here at the branch! Our residents spent the afternoon enjoying a lively round of bingo, followed by a fun ball toss game that got everyone moving and smiling. We even fit in some light exercise to keep the energy flowing! To wrap up the day, our Chaplain Bob joined us for a beautiful and uplifting service that brought everyone together. It was truly a day full of connection, laughter, and community. We love creating moments like these for our residents!

The communication has been good regarding our family member's health circumstances. Efforts to have a more meaningful Sunday church service are improving, with continued efforts in this area hopefully in place.

It is so good to know that our mother is cared for by people who care to put in the time with her. She has always been a social person and she receives lots of interaction with staff and other residents at Bickford. We, her family are grateful to know she is cared for when we can't be there with her.
