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

The Senior's Journey

There are two paths that seniors take as they age: the lower path and the higher path

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.

A Spooktacular Night at Bickford of Cedar Falls! Friday was filled with smiles, laughter, and lots of Halloween fun as we welcomed trick-or-treaters! Our residents had so much fun seeing all the little ghosts, goblins, princesses, and superheroes dressed up in their costumes! The excitement and joy on the kids' faces were priceless, but the smiles on our residents' faces were even better! A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated candy and helped make our Spooktacular night of trick-or-treating such a success! We couldn't have done it without you! It's moments like these that make our Bickford family so special!

Throwback to the 80s! On the fourth day of Halloween Spirit Week, we took a trip back in time to the fabulous 80s! All of us ladies had a blast pulling out the 80s fashion and dressing up in styles from our decade! There’s just something about a good throwback day that brings back memories, puts smiles on our faces, and gets the day started right! Oh, how fun it was to relive the good old days! The 80s will always have a special place in our hearts! #BickfordOfCedarFalls #HalloweenSpiritWeek #ThrowbackToThe80s #80sFashion #MakingMemories #BickfordFamily

Safety First at Bickford of Cedar Falls! On Wednesday, our staff took part in a little fire safety training! It was a great opportunity to brush up on our skills and learn more about keeping our residents, staff, and home safe. Safety is always a top priority, and a little training goes a long way! A big THANK YOU to the Cedar Falls Fire Department for taking the time to come out and train our staff! We truly appreciate your dedication to keeping our community safe! #BickfordOfCedarFalls #FireSafety #SafetyFirst #BickfordFamily

Pumpkin Bowling Fun! We are keeping the Halloween spirit going here at Bickford of Cedar Falls with some Pumpkin Bowling! Our residents had a blast rolling pumpkins to knock down the cups. The pumpkins had a mind of their own, rolling every which way, but those cups didn't stand a chance! Lots of laughter, smiles, and friendly competition made for another spooktacular day!

I'll put it at a 4 only because we all should look for ways to improve. ???? I will just reiterate how happy I am with our choice of The Bickford and I enjoy my visits back with Mom to see a glimpse of how her day-to-day life is there. I adore the staff and the care and patience they exhibit with my Mom. She has had a recent rough patch as her body and mind navigate this 'new normal.' I appreciate the extra care given as staff works with our hospice team at St. Croix for both solutions and communication with me. I want to thank staff for letting me do a special birthday tea party for my Mom when I was back in August. Some special helpers I'd like to recognize are (name removed) who just brightens the day and adds a special sparkle to any activity, (name removed), who according to my Mom is her 'fashion guru' and is so patient at meal time, as well as (names removed). Thank you, and I know there are more to thank. I'd also be remiss not to mention my gratitude to (name removed), who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to help me out with items for Mom's room. Thank you! ????

This is my first adventure with an aging parent and I'm so happy with our choice of The Bickford! Because I'm out of state, I truly depend on your capable staff to care and love my Mom. Although her memory is slipping, she knows she's in a good place and she loves the staff. Shout out to everyone caring for my Mom this month, but a special 'thank you' to (name removed) for her love and concern. ????

Would be higher but I have tried to communicate about a double charge on my bill leaving messages and never heard back.
