Most senior living communities say similar things like: “We provide great care!” or “Our staff is the best!” or “Your mom will be happy here!”

But how do you know that’s really true?

Our current residents and families know whether or not we walk the talk. That’s why we give you direct access to their real thoughts and real options.

    Thank you so much for the great care of our mom! I was back for another visit this month (we live out of state) and we are so pleased with how happy our mom is and she loves the staff at Bickford, thank you!

    My husband has been a resident at Bickford since late September, 2022. My entire family is extremely thrilled that he is being treated with an abundance of love and attention while living at his new "home". I visit him several times each day so I am able to see how the staff also cares for the other residents with tenderness. Bickford has a wonderful variety of activities for the residents... music groups, movie & popcorn nights, bingo, balloon volleyball, manicures, dog therapy visits, etc! I'm impressed with the variety of food items on the daily menu. My husband can be a picky eater so he might not be as adventurous as I would be when it comes to eating. This hasn't been a problem since he's given an alternative option if needed. We LOVE Bickford! ❤️❤️❤️

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.
