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.

Family, community and friends are a crucial component in assisted-living. A close knit community helps residents feel connected, reduces feelings of loneliness, and isolation, provides emotional support, boosts mental health, and allows for close observation of care and ensuring our residents receive appropriate treatment and attention and improving an overall quality of life. Our motto “ Whatever It Takes” guides us through each and every decision we make. We want our residents to be happy, healthier and thriving! Call 641-354-5996 for a tour of our Bickford Community today.

Love the staff!

I have heard complains from a few residents and myself that (name removed) needs to stay in his room if he refuses to take a bath. He stunk up the whole place Monday night about made me sick and all the residents couldn't stand it and went to their own room. (name removed) couldn't enjoy the movie cuz he was so soiled it made you sick. I thought it was the trash room outside my mom's room when I went to complain it was (name removed) at the nurses station.

I am very impressed by Bickford, the homelike atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the understanding care they give my husband. He seems happy and enjoys being around other people. He likes to walk and talk to people even though he has trouble expressing himself.

Bickford has always been an "over-the-top" 5 in our book. From the moment we walked in to tour and meet (name removed)(with warm cookies), the safety provided, courtyard access and delicious food it offered made our decision an easy one. Their smart square-shaped layout allows residents to walk and not get lost. Many other amenities were attractive as well - i.e. bus tours, small airport nearby for entertainment, church services, several varied types of activities, laundry, housekeeping, in-house barber... Dad made his move from the century farm house he was born in and immediately felt at home with a personalized welcome sign and (name removed) smiling handshake meeting him at the door. He enjoyed the company of the other residents as much as he appreciated and bragged on the care teams - they truly became a loving family to him. The communication was excellent with the head of nursing, (name removed), which became more critical the last 3 months as dad's memory digressed. She kept me posted faithfully of noted changes and offered suggestions like PT for balance and strengthening. We had the assurance that the nursing team would call immediately on any health related concern and were diligent in providing the best care imaginable. It was very clear how impactful their care had become when a final attempt, at the hospital, to get him on his feet was painful and horrifying for him. (name removed) walked in from work to visit him and when she spoke his name and took his arm, he immediately calmed down, was relaxed and followed her direction. The day before when asked if they were capable of tending to
