The only thing is that Mary B's has had a bad odor on several occasions when we've visited this last month. Otherwise everything is great- thanks!

Turn over is terrible. There is not even a director hired. I can't believe you are raising prices again!!! It's gone up 7,000. The past two years. Your already charging way more then the care you are providing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reviews FAQ
Bickford residents and families have frequent opportunities to participate in providing feedback throughout the year. Bickford sends out a comprehensive annual survey evaluating all aspects of a residents experience. Following this survey, Bickford sends out a monthly survey to see if we are making progress on improving their happiness levels. The responses to both surveys are posted on the website and remain there for a year.
Bickford is committed to transparency. That means posting all feedback – both positive and negative. Every review is included in our overall score (star-rating). However, we do not post comments that are libelous, profane or risk violating the privacy of our residents.
A Bickford Verified Resident Review is a review provided by a resident or family member/significant other that has been verified by Bickford as an authorized individual. Individual names are protected for privacy reasons.
Bickford has developed a program to improve resident happiness based specifically on the scores and comments of the surveys. Each Branch sets goals to improve targeted areas identified from the surveys. The actions that need to be taken are discussed as a part of each shifts daily stand-up meeting.
Due to the unique and personalized nature of our business, responses to reviews, if requested, happen individually.

My only comment is that we are still struggling with getting staff to shave him. Otherwise, staff are great with dad & take time to talk with him & encourage him to participate in activities & conversations.
