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.

Here at Bickford of Gurnee our residents and staff start our Friday morning movin’ and groovin’ together in our chair Zumba group exercise class to help keep everyone on the HigherPath! One of the many benefits of Physical activity is that improves physical function, making it easier to perform tasks of daily living — including getting into or out of a bed or chair . This increased functional ability can help maintain independence and support independent living for older adults

Wow! Look at those smiles from our residents in our Mary B’s memory care Did you know?… Ice cream often provides emotional comfort and nostalgia for many, including those with dementia. The sweet treat reminds them of happier times, bringing a sense of familiarity and joy. In dementia care, this emotional connection can be particularly poignant. When patients indulge in ice cream, they often display noticeable improvements in mood and engagement.

I like that they are always friendly and always cleaning. But the staff turnover is not so great and there could definitely be something done about serving meals in the dining area (add more servers).
