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

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.

The Power of a Room Visit ❤️ At Bickford Senior Living of Shelby Township, we believe that every resident deserves to feel seen, valued, and connected. While our community is always filled with activities, music, laughter, and opportunities to socialize, we also recognize that not every resident is able to make it out of their room each day. That’s why room visits are so important. A simple visit can make a world of difference. Sitting beside a resident, sharing a conversation, listening to a favorite story, looking through family photos, singing a familiar song, or simply spending a few quiet moments together can bring comfort and joy to someone who may otherwise feel isolated. For residents who have difficulty getting around, are having a quieter day, or simply prefer the comfort of their own space, these visits provide a meaningful connection to the Bickford family. It reminds them that they are never forgotten and that their presence matters. Sometimes the smallest moments have the biggest impact. A smile, a hand to hold, a favorite song, or asking, “How are you doing today?” can brighten someone’s entire day. Our Bickford team is proud to make those personal connections and to bring a little bit of our community to our residents, wherever they may be. Because at Bickford of Shelby Township, home isn’t just a place—it’s the people who make you feel loved, cared for, and remembered. ❤️

    I would like a to know a little bit more interactions staff has with my mom. Tell me what is going well. And how might I be able to help when things are not going well? The more we work together the better we can support her.

    All I can say is thank you for putting up with ALL ABOUT ME IN ROOM 1O2

    I just want to thank everyone that help(name removed). My Heart goes out to them

  • Jul 1, 2026

    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!

  • Jun 1, 2026

    I appreciate communication about my mom. The effort to try to address my concerns.

  • Feb 14, 2026

    You all do a a wonderful thing, to help people that need a helping hand.

  • Feb 2, 2026

    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.
