    I would love for someone to reach out to me and actually take the time to speak with me about our concerns. We have two residents in the facility. Thank you very much.

    Could be more informative of how my mom is doing. Left in the dark a lot

    The price keeps changing, things were being done and added as a point system when I signed paperwork for it to not be done, have not received summary of bill as of yet but has ask.

    Most of the staff has been really trying to help connect and make my Dad feel more comfortable and keeping him active.

    Mom continues to thrive at Bickford of Chesapeake. The activities, good food and friendly staff helps her feel at home.

    Could use a little more communication/updates. I know they are short staffed but it cost a lot so I expect a lot. Overall the staff and facility are great

  • Feb 3, 2023

    Just wish they could incorporate a little bit more activity in the daily environment. Also, better way to secure wrist band on existing patients. Overall, Bickford is a wonderful place to be.

    Activities were fantastic this past month! No thrilled that Dr and NP has changed and no on site FT Nurse Coord hired yet.

    My mom went to bed in her clothes. Not much else to say

  • Jan 2, 2023

    They have been fantastic to work with. I couldn't ask for more for Mom.

  • Jan 2, 2023

    Great communication, terrific care, and residents are safe, happy and thriving!

  • Dec 1, 2022

    Laundry hadn't been done so dad had nothing to change into if an accident occurred. I'm a little concerned about LPN leaving and no RN Coordinator yet. We need consistency at that level for daily medical support. Thx for asking for feedback.

  • Dec 1, 2022

    All the BFM's are wonderful. My father gets such great care there. (Name Removed) the activity director plans such wonderful things for the residents. (Name Removed), (Name Removed), (Name Removed), (Name Removed), (Name Removed) and (Name Removed) the director are amazing. So happy we found the Bickford for our Dad.

    (Name Removed) food situation is still a major concern. After 3 months it should no longer be a problem.

  • Nov 1, 2022

    Bickford hass been a blessing. We were not sure if this was the right thing to do for Mom. Having her at Bickford has been the best decision we could have made. They're caring & loving attitudes let me know she's in safe hands when I can't be with her. Not to mention the food is fabulous!

  • Nov 1, 2022

    Fantastic communication and follow up with whole team

  • Oct 5, 2022

    Bickford is amazing. I am so thankful for everyone there and the care they show to my father in law. They truly are an extension of the family.

Reviews FAQ

Bickford residents and families have frequent opportunities to participate in providing feedback throughout the year. Bickford sends out a comprehensive annual survey evaluating all aspects of a residents experience. Following this survey, Bickford sends out a monthly survey to see if we are making progress on improving their happiness levels. The responses to both surveys are posted on the website and remain there for a year.

Bickford is committed to transparency. That means posting all feedback – both positive and negative. Every review is included in our overall score (star-rating). However, we do not post comments that are libelous, profane or risk violating the privacy of our residents.

A Bickford Verified Resident Review is a review provided by a resident or family member/significant other that has been verified by Bickford as an authorized individual. Individual names are protected for privacy reasons.

Bickford has developed a program to improve resident happiness based specifically on the scores and comments of the surveys. Each Branch sets goals to improve targeted areas identified from the surveys. The actions that need to be taken are discussed as a part of each shifts daily stand-up meeting.

Due to the unique and personalized nature of our business, responses to reviews, if requested, happen individually.
