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.

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY. We started off our day with some fun chasing the rainbow. At the end of the game we tasted the rainbow. We then got comfortable in our chairs for a tour of beautiful Ireland. We capped the day with some delicious Shamrock Shakes.

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.

(name removed) went above and beyond for my mother, and I. My mom had to take an ambulance to ER. (name removed) met her there, held her hand, and stayed with her until released hours later. This meant the world to me, as I live in Florida and was obviously not there and very worried. (name removed) kept me updated throughout. Let me also add, that this was during an ice storm. Instead of going home to her own family, she took care of mine! (name removed) is just an amazing individual. Not only has she taken great care of my mothers brittle diabetes, she truly cares, and is so sweet ❤️
