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.

At Bickford of Shelby Township, we believe that every person has unique gifts, talents, and experiences to share—and our wonderful Miss Jane continues to remind us just how special that is. As part of our Montessori program, Miss Jane has been stepping outside of her comfort zone and finding new ways to be involved in our community. Today, she spent time helping in our dining room, serving our starters and greeting others with the warmth and kindness that comes so naturally to her. For Miss Jane, this was more than simply helping with a meal. She was returning to something she knows and loves. Having worked as a server for many, many years, being able to serve others again brought back wonderful memories and, most importantly, brought her a tremendous sense of joy, purpose, and belonging.

It was clear the staff recognized she was not herself and I was able to communicate with various people. I like knowing more than one person noticed. Also had a nice follow up conversation with (name removed) earlier in month.

Thank you for taking good care of my mom, the team is really pleasant. The only thing my mom complains about is the food, she wants some additional choices like burgers and pizza. I know you purposefully keep a small menu, maybe a comfort food choice would be good. If you are already doing this, then keep doing what you're doing. Thanks!

I appreciate how the caregivers say hello using my mom's name when we take a walk. Mom and I had fun doing making dog treats and really enjoyed the dog show.
