Real Residents, Real Reviews

Knowing who to trust in this journey is hard — especially when your loved one’s health and happiness are at stake.

 

A letter from Andy Eby

Andy Eby

Caregiver/Sales & Marketing

The decision to consider senior living is never an easy one. You’re looking for caregivers to help with situations that may have you feeling exposed and powerless. We understand that this is a vulnerable time for your family. 

Here at Bickford, we believe that vulnerability is not a weakness, but a strength.

We honor the courage it takes for seniors and families to navigate the aging journey and we believe we owe you our vulnerability in return.

That’s why we display real reviews from our residents, both positive and negative. We’re not interested in cherry-picking feel-good comments from casual visits.

We aim to earn your trust by showing the full spectrum of feedback from internal monthly surveys of our residents and families. This is an uncommon practice in our industry.

Many of the reviews you’ll see are positive, serving as a testament to our “whatever it takes” commitment to helping residents live their best lives.

We interpret negative reviews through two lenses: First, some contain hard truths. It hurts to hear, but sometimes we deserve it. This feedback sharpens us, allows us to see where we fall short, and demands that we get better. 

Second, some reviews arise from the unbearable emotional pain families feel as they watch a loved one decline. In these situations, our caregivers may bear the brunt of unrealistic expectations. As the saying goes, “Hurt people hurt people.”

We trust your discernment to distinguish between the two. Feel free to ask us about any review that raises questions or concerns. We believe that trust isn’t built on a facade of perfection but on honesty about our successes and challenges.

Thank you for considering placing your trust in us.

Andy Eby

    Great job! Would love to see evening activities as my mom doesn't watch tv on her room and she doesn't go to bed until 11 so just sits there. Would Love to see some activities from 7-9 a few nights a week. Bingo or something would be great!

  • Jul 1, 2025

    They take great care of my Dad.

  • Jul 2, 2025

    (name removed) has really been working hard and has make massive improvements.

  • Jun 2, 2025

    (name removed) are absolutely wonderful and patient

  • May 8, 2025

    As always, Mary B's is out of sight out of mind. The outdoor area is always filthy and uninviting. I don't think anyone ever takes mom out anymore.

  • May 1, 2025

    Staff is attentive to my dad's needs, kind and treats him with dignity.

  • Apr 1, 2025

    I have recently shared with incoming Executive Director, (name removed) (great choice, by The way!), that the facility needs a good deep cleaning. And frankly perhaps just more frequent cleaning. Also need a way for resident's caregivers to easily communicate with staff involved in their care. Emails or texts are fine, but there is currently not a structured plan in place. Bit too ad hoc for my taste. I would prefer some sort of shared communal document per resident that keeps everyone more on the same page.

  • Apr 1, 2025

    I appreciate the good care recently addressing my dad's health concerns. He is also happy with the way his laundry is being done and folded nicely.

  • Apr 1, 2025

    staff is kind and helpful. They do a great job caring for my dad. He loves everyone and likes the food too.

  • Mar 1, 2025

    Staff is amazing and my Dad loves the people and the care he receives.

  • Feb 3, 2025

    I don't have any comments this month.

  • Feb 3, 2025

    All good!

  • Jan 1, 2025

    All is good! My mother loves it there which is all that matters.

  • Jan 1, 2025

    His care at Bickford is great! Staff is great! The facility is not clean . This is an ongoing problem and seems would not be difficult to resolve. Hire a professional cleaning company to come in to vacuum the front and halls at least daily , clean the resident bathrooms and vacuum the apartments 1-2 times a week , wipe down / disinfect the doors , etc. Do not have the CNAs, and other staff do the cleaning. Let them take care of the residents. This is a nice facility with paying customers ! Why can it not be clean????? Happy New Year!

  • Jan 1, 2025

    My mom enjoys her place

  • Jan 1, 2025

    Every other month, I have to explain to you that her insurance doesn't prepay. Only for service provided. Why is that so hard to understand?

  • Dec 1, 2024

    Mom is very happy with Bickford so far. She said the staff is Wonderful! | She was having some Internet issues but I saw they just got her an Internet extender so hopefully that will fix the issue.

  • Nov 1, 2024

    I love the facility. The staff is excellent, very kind and respectful to my mom.

  • Nov 1, 2024

    All good!

  • Nov 1, 2024

    The staff is wonderful with my father- kind, caring, patient, engaging. The facility is not as clean as it could be. The toilet is usually disgusting - toilet bowl, base of the toilet and the floor in the bathroom are all more often dirty than not. His carpet often needs vacuumed as do the hallways . He likes the food and is gaining weight. He is often out of his room and doing activities, sitting at the table, or outside . (name removed) the activities director keeps him engaged and is great with him as are the other staff members. (name removed) is very responsive to his needs and so is the director (name removed). The nurses and CNAs are great with him as well Fantastic care from the staff!

  • Sep 1, 2024

    Staff at Bickford are all genuinely empathetic, helpful and caring individuals. (name removed) is absolutely amazing and I'm so thankful we get to partner with her to take care of my grandpa (name removed)!

  • Sep 3, 2024

    The staff is very helpful and courteous. (name removed) is very great at keeping me current on any health changes and is very caring.

  • Aug 1, 2024

    The employees are amazing. They are very gentle but strong when they talk with my dad. They have positive attitudes and are helpful. They will ask if we need something, and then take time to assist if we do need anything. Much appreciated!

Why other senior living communities don’t share internal reviews

  • Most communities don’t solicit reviews on a monthly basis. Most surveys are annual and used for internal purposes only.
  • They’re caring for a frail, vulnerable population 24/7/365. Healthcare, by its very nature, can be messy, especially when you’re on around the clock. Service failures are almost inevitable in this context.
  • They know that some of the comments aren’t necessarily accurate
  • They don’t have the courage to be vulnerable. They want to control how prospective families see them.
  • They’re afraid it would hurt their sales and marketing efforts
  • They don’t trust the consumer to be able to handle the truth

Reviews FAQ

Bickford residents and families have frequent opportunities to participate in providing feedback throughout the year. Bickford sends out a comprehensive annual survey evaluating all aspects of a residents experience. Following this survey, Bickford sends out a monthly survey to see if we are making progress on improving their happiness levels. The responses to both surveys are posted on the website and remain there for a year.

Bickford is committed to transparency. That means posting all feedback – both positive and negative. Every review is included in our overall score (star-rating). However, we do not post comments that are libelous, profane or risk violating the privacy of our residents.

A Bickford Verified Resident Review is a review provided by a resident or family member/significant other that has been verified by Bickford as an authorized individual. Individual names are protected for privacy reasons.

Bickford has developed a program to improve resident happiness based specifically on the scores and comments of the surveys. Each Branch sets goals to improve targeted areas identified from the surveys. The actions that need to be taken are discussed as a part of each shifts daily stand-up meeting.

Due to the unique and personalized nature of our business, responses to reviews, if requested, happen individually.
