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.

We had the chance to thank these wonderful people in person for their tremendous help with our resident evacuation. The Carmel Fire Department are absolutely professional heroes. And how about Pastor Joe Smith and Northview Church! Just the best. What a privilege to have such good people in our community.

It's Saturday August 22nd. One week ago today, we got the word to evacuate all our residents at Bickford Senior Living in Carmel. With all hands on deck, we got it done. Every. Single. Resident. It was a bit of an adventure, as we had a sleepover at Northview Church with our Assisted Living residents. Meanwhile, residents from our Memory Care were safe and secure in our Bickford of Greenwood branch. We take care of your loved ones. We take care of each other.

Bickford of Carmel (Carmel, IN) Residents of at least two senior-living communities on the north side were among those forced to evacuate over the weekend as White River flood waters rose in central Indiana. On Saturday morning, employees and volunteers at Bickford of Carmel Assisted Living and Montessori Memory Care, east of the intersection of East 116th Street and Hazel Dell Parkway in Carmel, and Traditions at Solana, between North Keystone Avenue, East 78th Street and River Road in Indianapolis, helped elderly residents move to temporary housing. Both elder care facilities are adjacent to the White River, which swelled locally following days of rain last week that dumped more than 12 inches of precipitation in some areas of east-central Indiana. Seven people have died across the state and more than 1,000 have been displaced due to flooding. Residents of both facilities, which provide independent living, assisted living and memory care services, returned home Sunday and Monday after flood waters failed to reach the buildings. Jason Acquisto, a family advocate at Bickford of Carmel, said he received a call Saturday morning saying residents needed to evacuate following an order by the city of Carmel. Some of the roughly 50 residents sheltered at Northview Church in Carmel, while memory care residents traveled to Bickford of Greenwood. “We just did things by protocol,” Acquisto said. “It was a smooth transition without incident, and we got that done. The residents had dinner in their new locations. They got a good night’s sleep, and the next morning, we were given the all-clear to return to our building. By lunchtime Sunday, we were mostly all back.” https://www.ibj.com/articles/senior-living-facilities-on-north-side-avoid-brunt-of-flooding-over-weekend

All our residents are back at Bickford of Carmel, safe and sound after a weekend adventure. On Saturday morning, we evacuated residents, per the City of Carmel, as a precaution due to flood waters. Yesterday, everyone returned to Bickford. Our building was not physically affected by flood waters. We want to thank the Carmel Fire Department for their huge effort in helping us make an organized and careful evacuation. Thank you to Bickford of Greenwood and our Bickford team from Ohio. A very special thanks to Northview Church for their kindness and hospitality, as residents stayed overnight at their Carmel campus. And of course, a sincere thank you to our wonderful resident families for your support. Everyone working together made it a smooth process. We are so grateful to be part of a community that comes together and helps each other during tough times.
