Bickford of West Des Moines

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.

No better way to ring in the new year by coming out swinging! Noodle ball is always a hit. Our residents enjoyed competing in a friendly game of darts today too.

We started making deco mesh wreathes today. It was a bit time consuming and we’ll finish them tomorrow. The ladies were excited to learn something new and were amazed at how easy it really was! Finished wreaths pictures coming later!

We’d like to thank the Lowe’s store on 50th St for donating 34 poinsettia plants to our branch. They are absolutely beautiful and bring a wonderful splash of Christmas color everywhere you look!

An Elf dropped by our branch today to bring us some Christmas cheer. Betsy from the West Des Moines Library entertained us with some carols, she brought bells and we jingled our way through a few songs, and we all recited The Night Before Christmas story.

We made some beautiful snow globes and ornaments today! It was so much fun coming up with an idea for the snow globes and then watching it come together. Candy taught us a fun way to glitter ornaments with out having glitter rub off everywhere using poly acrylic. If you would like to see the finished pieces stop by the branch and we’d love to show them off!

    The staff are caring. The only concern is a consistent delay in laundry. My mother sometimes can't bathe or leave her room because she doesn't have towels or clean clothes.

  • Nov 1, 2024

    Would like to know status of resident laundry service? My mother was told that she needed to put her dirty laundry in the hallway. Is this accurate?

  • Sep 1, 2024

    I really appreciated the assistance in getting Mom to the dentist on August 27th since I now reside in MN. Can someone from Bickford tell me what the status is on the Hair Beautician? Thanks

  • Aug 1, 2024

    Wondering if calendar items can be shared with me. Since Mom's memory is impaired with Alzheimer's, she's asking me what days for laundry, cleaning, cutting toenails, staff assessments of Mom's memory and cognition, etc. it would be helpful for me to know when these sorts of items are scheduled. Thanks, and I'm very satisfied with Mom's care but I'm now living in Minnesota and only visiting a few days each month.

  • Jul 3, 2024

    Very nice, personalized care. Clean environment inside and out. Not too large so that they may provide more intimate care.

  • Jun 4, 2024

    This is (name removed), son of (name removed), and I'm still not receiving monthly statements for Mom's billing.

  • May 1, 2024

    I appreciate timely responses from (name removed) when I have inquiries. The staff is helpful and kind. Facility stays clean and tidy. An areas I would like to see improved is: 1. Laundry (especially soiled) is removed from the room in a timely fashion washed and returned.

  • May 1, 2024

    Staff @ Bickford is very helpful for my mother's care. (name removed) accommodates needs when issues arise & follows thru for results. (name removed) is very caring of all residents & consistently aides in taking care of my mother's needs, communication w/primary Dr, etc. Shout out to (name removed) for quality care for my mother's needs. There are others, but don't know all care givers names, name tags would be nice(my mother's recommendation). Hope to see outdoor activities in courtyard when weather is nice. (name removed) provide great meals. Mom suggests meatloaf & basic mash potatoes some time
