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.

Today at Bickford in Oswego, we introduced a new game for our memory care residents. Keeping our residents engaged in Memory Care also helps with their cognition. Dave really took to our bean bag toss and was very prideful when he hit the targets and scored 60 points! Go Dave!!! #HigherPath #AugustHealth #ClinicalExcellence #MedicationSafety #SeniorLiving #ResidentCare #Teamwork #ContinuousImprovement

Our Bread Basket dining experience was incredible for County Fair Day here at Bickford Oswego Assisted Living and Montessori Memory Care! Delicious fair food, including fried pickles and corn dogs, was enjoyed by everyone! Top that off with games and a wonderful performer, not to mention the sweetest caregivers, and it was a great day!

We had an absolute blast today at Bickford Oswego Assisted Living & Montessori Memory Care as we celebrated our very own Bickford County Fair Day! Our day kicked off with the most delicious fair-inspired lunch, lovingly prepared by our Bread Basket team—including the BEST homemade waffle ice cream cones! After lunch, we enjoyed live music from the incredibly talented singer and guitarist Greg Hyde! Our residents had such a wonderful time singing along and enjoying the afternoon. And of course, no county fair would be complete without popcorn and cotton candy! Our Engagement Coordinator got to put her cotton candy-making skills to work and add the perfect sweet ending to a fun-filled day! Good food, great music, sweet treats, and even sweeter memories!

The new staff seem to be pleasant. But the carpet throughout the facility looks disgusting! Especially in the memory care wing. It's a horrible look for the facility and very unhygienic. It looks like a run down motel. Please do better.

I haven't had much interaction since I've been out of town so it's hard to rate this month.

The facility is attractive and clean, the staff is kind and responsive and the food is good. It is the nicest facility I have ever experienced with our previous family members.

Staffing issues are troublesome but they are affecting the residents negatively. From dining to slow response of CNA's. It is appreciated to see some of the admin staff helping out.
