Pay My Bill

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 is National Bird Day! We had fun playing name that bird trivia and got creative with button bird crafts! Did you know pelican birds have no teeth, swallow their food whole and have 2 stomachs?

We tried a new and different type of activity today at Bickford Peoria, My Favorite Holiday Item Show and Tell. Residents were asked to bring their favorite holiday item and share with the group why its special to them. We enjoyed hearing all the stories and reminiscing about holiday traditions!
