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.

On Monday, students from the Transition Program at Warren Township High School visited us and threw a Popcorn Party! All of the residents were in agreement that we should definitely do it again! #bickfordseniorliving #bickfordofgurnee

There is no real diet plan for diabetics. Since this is also memory care, someone needs to help with that especially in meal planning.
Aug 7, 2025

Diabetics need more help from the kitchen staff.

Overall satisfied. Still slow dining services at time. Thank you

Dining service needs more help. Everything else is good
Mar 1, 2025

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).

Kitchen/meal service has improved. Thank you!
