Choosing the Higher Path: A Better Way to Age Well At Bickford Senior Living, we believe aging doesn’t mean fading—it means thriving. We see two very different journeys for older adults: the conventional, reactive route many communities take (what we call the Lower Path) and the purposeful, proactive journey we champion, the Higher Path! Need to get your loved one on the Higher Path? Call us at 815-351-1746 to schedule a tour today!
