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.

These ladies are helping to sort socks. Meaningful activities like this establish a comfortable routine, and help our residents feel purposeful.

Moments of Peace and Connection. Familiar hymns, gentle prayers, and spiritual rituals often spark memories and create calm. Faith can be a powerful bridge to connection, even when words fade. These ladies enjoy worship service with Pastor Mike.

It is always a fun time in the branch when we are cooking with Mike. The best part is that we enjoyed delicious pizza for supper.

Senior staff has been awesome about helping me navigate the ins and outs of her life at Bickford. She loves the entire staff there and has 'adopted' some new daughters! I feel the staff is very loving and attentive to their residents needs!

You have an incredible team there. I just hope that if/when my time comes, there will be people as kind, patient, and skilled there for me. Individually, each is wonderful and collectively they work as an excellent team.
