At Bickford Bourbonnais, “HOME” is more than a place — it’s a feeling you experience every day. Everyone here has a favorite spot to relax, connect, and enjoy life: *Movie nights in our cozy theatre, complete with warm, buttery popcorn and your favorite films. *Quiet moments in our beautiful library, curled up with a hot cup of cocoa or tea, and yes, you can even have your fur baby at your feet while enjoying a good book or listening to music of every genre — even the nostalgic crackle of vinyl records. *Staying active in our bright, welcoming fitness center, designed to help residents feel strong, confident, and energized. *Friendly card games with neighbors, where laughter fills the room and new friendships grow. *Fun visits with family, friends, and grandkids — playing ping pong, shooting pool, and making memories that feel like home.

The Holidays Have a Way of Revealing What Matters Most When families come together during the holidays, we see the people we love in ways we might not during the rest of the year. Longer visits. Quieter moments. A closer look. Maybe you noticed your loved one struggling to keep up. Maybe they forgot familiar routines. Maybe something in your heart told you things aren’t quite the same. Those realizations can be heavy. They come with worry, guilt, and the desire to protect someone who has always taken care of you. At Bickford Senior Living, we understand how hard these moments are. That’s why our promise is simple and unwavering: we do whatever it takes to help seniors feel safe, cared for, and truly at home. Whatever it takes means taking the time to listen. Whatever it takes means adapting care as needs change. Whatever it takes means treating your loved one like family—every single day. Touring Bickford isn’t just about seeing a building. It’s about meeting people who will walk alongside your family, answer the hard questions, and help turn concern into comfort. If the holidays revealed changes you can’t ignore, come take a tour of Bickford Senior Living. Let us show you what care looks like when it’s guided by heart, commitment, and a promise to do whatever it takes. #BickfordSeniorLiving #BickfordBourbonnais #BickfordHigherPath
