Great place, friendly caring workers, and my mom feels very comfortable there, thank you

The staff has been very helpful to my uncle. Always friendly and have met some unexpected needs that have arisen without blinking an eye. (name removed) has been very communicative and I appreciate that.

(name removed) spent the day appreciating all of her employees because she knew it was national employee appreciation day. This speaks to how she cares for the entire facility. The love at Bickford is alive and my mom is very happy to live there. Thank you Bickford

My mother has had a few personal "mishaps" in the last recent weeks. We were kept apprised of her condition and BFM actions often and the level of care and concern she, and we, have been given is such a blessing.

Our mom would greatly appreciate more dining options that do not have onion in them. Even the salads. When given menu she says it is usually 4 out of 5 items have onion. Sometimes all of them. She has sensitivity to onions. She is tired of eating grilled cheese and peanut butter sandwiches. She says she is not getting the nutritional content of other menu items because they are all made with onion. She would like to be able to eat more nutritionally. Onions make her nauseous. She was told all of the recipes come from corporate and include onion. For the past few months her trash is not being taken out nightly. It is every other day or even three days. Her bathroom trash with depends is overflowing on day two. If taken out nightly like before there's no issue. I feel bad for the cna's that come in and have to take out all the trash the one left behind the day before. Thank you so much. We so appreciate the amazing care of Bickford nurses.

We couldn't be more pleased with how well my mother is being cared for.

BFMs continue to take good care of my dad. Thank you to all BFMs!

I have had disappointments with Bickford over the past year and a half with the amount of stuff that is stolen from the apartment. The apartment is locked whenever the resident is not in there so it has to be employees. Things stolen have been: cash money, toilet paper, and his handicap placard that came in the mail. This is my first disappointment. My second is the increase in rent (twice in a year and a half)

Is the ventilation system up to date. May need to have updated with the way COVID is spreading, especially after everyone just received the vaccine.

Our mom is thriving at the Rockford branch. She is embracing the amazing activities that are offered. (name removed) provides such a full offering of engaging programs. The nurses go above and beyond in their care of the residents. The Caregivers have the biggest hearts. My mom said "There are such nice people working here." We so appreciate you. The entire team at Bickford make a difference every day for the community.

I returned to Illinois and found a well cared for woman in a clean apt. Since I don't live here, I am very appreciative. Your staff is wonderful.
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.
The staff have been very kind, supportive and accommodating for (name removed) as he was in quarantine for COVID and got a little cabin fever by the end of the 10 days. The staff seem to be very in-tune to the residents.
