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.

We are thrilled to share an exciting new chapter in our Branches journey of providing the highest quality care and support for our residents. In our ongoing commitment to enhancing the lives of those we serve, we are proud to introduce the Montessori-inspired approach to care at The Bickford of Suffolk. Montessori is a philosophy rooted in respect, dignity, and empowerment. Originally developed as a method of education, this approach has been beautifully adapted to support older adults, particularly those living with memory challenges. By focusing on each individual’s abilities, strengths, and preferences, the Montessori method enables us to create an environment that fosters purpose, engagement, and independence. Most recently during our Family Christmas Party we presented "The Hands of the Generation" we currently care for. Hands are a universal language, transcending age, race, and background. In the hands of our senior residents, we see: Strength: Decades of hard work and perseverance. Connection: The warmth of a handshake, the comfort of a touch. Legacy: The marks of lives well-lived and lessons passed down. As caregivers, we hold not just hands but histories. Each resident we serve has a unique journey, and their hands remind us to honor that journey daily. Whether it's helping with a simple task or holding hands during a quiet moment, we recognize the privilege of being part of their story. Share these photo with someone who appreciates the story of a life told through touch, and let’s continue to celebrate the hands that have shaped our world. #dementia #dementiaawareness #memorycare #assistedliving #montessori #montessorifordementia #seniorcare #montessoriinspiredlifestyle #centerforappliedresearchindementia

BREAKING ELF NEWS Happy the Elf has taken things to the next level—kidnapping our very own Regional Sales Director, Jenny! No ransom note yet, but word is Happy isn’t handing her back until the cookie supply is restocked and carolers bring their A-game. #ElfAdventures #HolidayHostage #BickfordFun #SaveJenny #CookiesSaveLives #BickfordSeniorLiving

Today was Tacky Threads Thursday at Bickford of Suffolk, and the whole team brought their A-game for the Ugly Sweater Contest during our staff party! Nadia and Amber tied for the win (apparently, Darth Vader can be considered ugly). A big thank you to our friends at PORTCO for joining in on the fun and spreading even more holiday cheer for our residents! #TackyThreadsThursday #UglySweaterContest #HolidayFun #BickfordSeniorLiving

It just upsets me that she never seems happy with any of the food served. With the cost of the residence, I would hope that the meals would be of a higher quality. Other then that, she seems to enjoy all the staff and stays busy. Thanks

There should be more activities for memory care besides watching tv and sitting at the dining tables with books.

All of my complaints have to do with the dining room. Some days it's a surprise what the residents will eat. The menu hasn't been posted, or there is a change. There still isn't enough help passing out beverages and food. The meat is often tough. The cakes consistently are dry. The tables are not always set with enough silverware or glasses. The floor needs to be mopped more often. The addition of the handicapped people do help, and the tables are set when they come.

I would like to commend (name removed) for their help in assisting me in getting my mother, who is confined to a wheelchair and is a Mary B resident, to a medical appointment, and in providing her records for the appointment. What used to be so simple is now a Herculean group effort to accomplish, and their attention, timeliness, and sympathetic professionalism towards the task was a tremendous help!

It would be great if meals could be a bit more consistent with food selection and time it takes to get served. Thank you!

I feel like Bickford is understaffed in ALL areas and only 1 layer deep.
