As we age, our risk for falls increases, and our ability to recover decreases. That’s why reducing fall risk is so critical, and the prevalence of falls among older adults is so concerning. In fact, 1 in 4 falls in senior living results in a higher level of care. But at Bickford of Gurnee, we manage falls with SafelyYou’s extraordinary combination of world-leading AI and remote clinical support, which is proven to reduce falls and fall-related ER visits. So, our residents stay safer, are more likely to stay out of the ER, and stay in the community they trust to care for them.

When someone you care about deeply has been diagnosed with Dementia and/or Alzheimer’s Disease It can be a scary time with a lot of uncertainties. But there is support available here at Bickford of Gurnee. We have a small 16 bed memory care branch that creates an intimate, engaging environment specifically designed to help seniors with Dementia and Alzheimer’s live their best life! We intentionally, proactively engage your loved one throughout the day so they’re not left to their own devices. We call these specialized activities that cue meaningful moments “Cuetivities.” Our caregiver Chastity is able to provide 1:1 sensory stimulation through a calming hand massage as well as painting Marian nails her favorite fall color!
