Community Reviews

"It feels a lot like home."

reviewed on: 11/18/2014 by Dr. Dana Webb

The Bickford staff was able to accomodate us when Mom suddenly needed care and supervision. We knew on our first visit that this was the best atmosphere.....a difficult decision to make, no matter what the situation. The staff always responded to my calls or e-mails, sometimes even calling me just with an update. Other facilities may have sufficed, but we were immediately comfortable and confident with our decision to choose Bickford. Even she said "It feels a lot like home."

So far it's very good.

So far it's very good. We haven't had any major complaints. She loves the food, she loves having a choice. The other residents have been friendly and welcoming, she made friends pretty quickly. It seems to be working out pretty well.

Administrator was nice but lacked experience

I toured here when looking for a place for my wife. I decided on moving her to a different community. When I toured, it was just okay. The fees are abundant and the price itself was a lot higher than I needed. Getting there was also a bit harder, it’s stuck right in the middle of town and there’s a lot more traffic to contend with just to get there. I only met the administrator when I was there and I think she was helpful enough. I don’t think she had the experience that a few other places did.
