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.

I love the way our residents personalize their space. Our apartments are unfurnished so that they can bring the items that are so special to them. So it feels like home!

We enjoyed a Christmas celebration with the nurses and BFMs this week. We had a great time… so thankful for our team! It’s always special when we can gather together! I so appreciate the excellent care our team provides to our Residents everyday❤️

We recently held our annual Christmas parties for residents, families, and our hardworking caregivers. We had a great night celebrating the holiday and just being together. It would not be a Bickford of Aurora party without delicious food from our Bread Basket! Thank you to William and Erin for having these wonderful Hors d’oeuvres for us (especially after a full day in the kitchen preparing meals). Thank you to everyone who attended and celebrated with us! We’re looking forward to a wonderful 2025 with all of you. Cheers!

I am so proud of this picture and what it represents to me and to others. We had our Christmas party and a daughter to a resident who has lived with us for 6 years came up to me and said “I love that you all want to take a picture together and truly love each other so much, it shows and makes me so happy to know my mom is so loved by a group that loves each other”. We all have a special reason for being here. Loving your loved one like our own is the MAIN and most important reason. So grateful!

The team in Aurora is so great! Mom's 5.5 years have been great for her and our family. There is a real difference in how much she loves being there with the BFMs!

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...

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