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.

BFM SPOTLIGHT MYRA! At Bickford, we believe that the heart of our community lies in the people who bring joy, compassion, and warmth to our residents every day. This week, we're proud to shine our BFM Spotlight on Myra, whose vibrant personality and deep empathy make her a beloved part of the Bickford family. Myra is known for her infectious laughter and cheerful spirit. Whether she’s sharing a lighthearted moment or simply lending a listening ear, Myra has a special way of making everyone around her feel cared for and seen. It’s not uncommon to find her spending time with residents, exchanging jokes and stories, and building connections that go far beyond her job description. When asked what she enjoys most about working at Bickford, Myra shared: “I love working at Bickford because we are all family. Between the residents and my hardworking, 'Whatever It Takes' coworkers, I don’t feel like I’m at work—more like at home. I look forward to coming to work every day.” Myra’s dedication to our core values and her ability to foster a warm, family-like atmosphere is truly inspiring. Her presence not only uplifts the residents but also sets an example of what it means to lead with heart. Thank you, Myra, for all you do. We’re lucky to have you as part of the Bickford family!

Marilyn’s daughter and granddaughter came to visit today. Her daughter is a quilter and said Marilyn taught her how to sew. Her granddaughter added that she’s learning how to quilt as well. I know Marilyn passed on her creativeness to her daughters and their kids! Love these stories!#bickfordseniorliving #fortdodgeseniorliving #familes #whateverittakes
