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.

Golf anyone!? Edie and Mildred were incredible but I think Bonnie had the most points at 90!! Yes, Katie had the least, I’m not sure I got even 1 in but it was so much fun and a ton of laughs.

This month’s Paint & Sip, while deceptively tricky, was a great success! Everyone had such a fun time laughing and socializing as we painted some Thanksgiving turkeys! Check back next month to see what we have in store for December as we prepare to celebrate the upcoming holidays!!

All of us at a Bickford of Aurora send a big Thank You to all Veterans, but especially to our wonderful residents who selflessly served our country. It’s an honor to care for those who protected our freedoms.

The food needs improvement. Everything else is great

When my mom was away and another rehab (for her hip), she just never felt great you could tell by her anxiety. We just got back this past Friday, and already we know that she's happy...
Aug 5, 2024

I think my main concern is always the interaction my mom gets through activities. It seems the interactions have trailed off a bit.
