Bickford of Okemos

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

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.

There’s nothing better than spending time with good friends! ???? Paul and Bob were all smiles as they got the cards set up and prepared for a friendly game together. Their excitement was contagious, and it was wonderful to see them enjoying some laughs, a little friendly competition, and each other’s company. Here at Bickford, we love hanging out with our friends and making everyday moments like these extra special! ????♠️♥️

    (name removed) is one amazing employee. She goes above and beyond in every area. You may see her in the kitchen cooking, changing light bulbs and general maintenance, in the evening, etc. (name removed) also goes above and beyond. Her compassion to the resident's is amazing and heart felt. You can see her love for them in her eyes.

    You all are doing a great job caring for (name removed). I have no concerns and think (name removed) is pleased. My family (7 people) is coming in shifts to see him on Monday. He doesn't want them all there at the same time.

  • Sep 1, 2026

    Very pleased with the overall atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Our loved one enjoys the food as well as the art activities. Overall, it has been a good fit for us.

  • Aug 1, 2026

    Things appear to be improving. A shout-out to (name removed) for his efforts and leadership.

    I was still wavering around a 4 but what it boils down to is do I trust you with my family member? Yes and that earns a 5. Caretakers, housekeeper, medtechs, activity director, facilities, chefs, all work as a team and care for my family member like their family. They help prepare for Drs appts, get them to activities/meals and engage with them. Thank you to the whole team but especially (names removed) (name removed) made 4th of July special by finding a theme colored shirt and helping mom to lunch for the special day. Small things are huge and so appreciated. Importantly, during emergencies like severe weather I have confidence they handle it well. For example like the recent July 3rd tornado, I heard through my family member Evan had things under control and took care of the residents following the safety procedures I have witnessed in prior situations. I appreciate the hard work of all but definitely recognize the compassion and expertise of these senior team members!

Make time to check on mom above and beyond - ensure showers and bedding is clean as she has accidents that are not noticed by other staff - Grateful for (name removed) who gets her to lunch and bingo as well as well as (name removed) who drops off activities and popcorn - It is so important for persons fighting disease and/mental physical challenges be included in daily activities ... it is hard when short staff but means the world to those it impacted and their family | Also - quick thank you to Director (name removed) - see him out and about working and monitoring - often encouraging employees or interacting w residents/families

    Really appreciate the caretakers and medtechs like (name removed) and especially (name removed) who make an extra effort to get my mom out of her room and motivated while she is battling significant medical conditions like Alzheimer's progressing and cancer ... (names removed) are so critical in mom's attitude and wellbeing ... residents all need to continue involvement, interaction and socialization

  • Apr 10, 2026

    Appreciate all the staffs and efforts with mom- from the new activity director, facility person, cleaning person, and as always care team , chefs and med techs - they know mom (everyone) and try to make sure she eats, is clean, and treat her with dignity. As a public service person myself for over 30 years - I am humbled and have learned from these kind hearted caring professionals... I know and watch as they go extra for all the residents in small caring daily inspirational ways ...
