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.

"The administration and staff are competent and compassionate. The small size (comparatively) makes it possible for the residents to create friendships among themselves and to provide mutual help and companionship as needed. The activities director keeps the residents entertained and involved, and the food is great."

    We are grateful for Bickford. My husband has been a resident here for almost two years. We have appreciated the kind and caring staff and administration, the delicious food, and the camaraderie that has developed among the residents.

    My brother in law has been a resident in assisted living for a year now. It was an adjustment CD for him, but he is doing well now. All of the staff are very supportive to him even though he chooses not to participate in any of the activities they always stop by to invite him.

    My husband has been a resident at Bickford for about 1 1/2 years, while I maintain our home in McCordsville. We both like Bickford very much. The administration and staff are competent and compassionate. The small size (comparatively) makes it possible for the residents to create friendships among themselves and to provide mutual help and companionship as needed. The activities director keeps the residents entertained and involved, and the food is great.

    I am so very thankful for (name removed) and (name removed) as well as (name removed) . The activities director role is truly crucial to the atmosphere in Bickford of Carmel. The atmosphere there is so different from previous activities directors!! God bless whomever hired such a wonderful team!!

  • Feb 1, 2025

    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.

  • Feb 1, 2025

    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).
