Our mission

To transform how America cares for seniors

How America is caring for seniors today is not good enough.
We’ve devoted our life’s work to changing it.

 

There's a Higher Path for our seniors

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.

A timeless commitment

We started Bickford in 1991 to care for our own mother, Mary Bickford.

For her, we built one of the first freestanding assisted living communities in Kansas. Our founder, Don Eby, helped pioneer early regulations to birth the assisted living industry. We’re still family-owned and operated today.
