Bickford of Carmel

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

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.

Happy Hour was a huge success today at Bickford of Carmel. Resident's along with family and friends joined in to celebrate Marilyn whom would've turned 102 today. We had her favorite strawberry sundae with chocolate. We played word in a word game another favorite of hers. We were glad her daughter Sally came and her dog Lassie.

As our loved ones age, there are two paths they can take: the lower path and the higher path. What's the higher path? https://bickfordseniorliving.com/why-were-different/

    The staff at Bickford is caring and competent. They took very good care of my mom the last year of her life, providing much support as well as fun for her. She believed every staff person went out of their way to do special things for her - and that was true. As she was dying she said, "I just want to go back to Bickford." She and I felt she was safe and loved at Bickford of Carmel.

    I love the way several of the nurses and aides talk to him and have a special name for him. They are not judgmental and they are kind to him, meaning my husband (name removed).

    My husband has been a resident at Bickford of Carmel for one and a half years. We are very pleased with this facility that serves 40-50 residents in its assisted living and memory care sections. There is a great deal to appreciate here, including the friendly atmosphere, the home-like setting, the competent and professional administration and staff, the delicious and nutritious food offered three times per day by two excellent chefs, the activities planned by the "happiness coordinator," and the ease with which we can get to know other residents and staff. We also have an active Family Council for residents and their loved ones through which we all work together to make our Bickford the best place it can be.

    The facility is clean and the staff have great attitudes. Housekeeping does a good job keeping the common areas clean in between taking care of all their residents. There has been in a big change in the past month or so for the better!
