Enhancing Resident Care with August Health & HigherPath At our community, technology helps us provide more personalized, proactive care for every resident. Through August Health's Care Tracker and HigherPath, our team can better coordinate care, monitor wellness trends, and support each resident's unique journey. Real-time health and wellness tracking Personalized care plans and goal setting Improved communication between care teams and families Early identification of changing health needs Enhanced resident engagement, safety, and quality of life By combining innovative tools with compassionate care, we're creating a stronger pathway to wellness, independence, and peace of mind for residents and their loved ones. Supporting healthier outcomes, meaningful connections, and a higher quality of life—every day.

Taking the Higher Path in Resident Care While many senior living communities conduct comprehensive resident assessments annually, our Health & Wellness Directors complete them every 180 days. Why? Because a lot can change in six months. More frequent assessments allow us to identify health changes sooner, adjust care plans proactively, reduce potential risks, and keep families informed every step of the way. At Bickford, we believe exceptional care means going beyond compliance and focusing on what is best for each resident. #TheHigherPath #SeniorLiving #ResidentCare #HealthAndWellness #Bickford

It’s always fun here at Bickford of Rockford. We “rode” a rollercoaster with a video on the television. And also got to share memories of riding rollercoasters in our youth.

Just spending some time while waiting for the scheduled activity to start hanging out. #bickfordseniorliving #bickfordofrockford
