Aurora Branch Achieves Significant Reduction in ER Visits
Bickford of Aurora is proud to announce a meaningful improvement this quarter, achieving a 45% reduction in ER visits. This achievement reflects the strong clinical leadership, proactive monitoring, and effective communication practices the team continues to strengthen each day.
By identifying changes in condition earlier, collaborating closely with providers, and focusing on resident-centered interventions, the Aurora team is preventing avoidable escalations and supporting more care to be delivered in the comfort of our branch.
This progress demonstrates the team’s commitment to the Higher Path program and to enhancing the well-being, stability, and overall experience of the residents we serve. It is a testament to disciplined follow-up, teamwork across departments, and intentional effort to elevate care standards.
The Aurora team should be proud of this accomplishment and the continued positive momentum it represents. One of the many reasons Bonnie is Bickford's Health and Wellness Director of the year! #HigherPath

Blooming connections!! Flowers have a natural ability to uplift mood and spark positive emotions. Their colors, textures and fragrances stimulate the senses, helping residents feel more present and engaged. Bonus - fresh flowers for our bread basket dining experience!!
