Wonderful Community!
reviewed on: 04/12/2018 by AnonymousWonderful community for my mother! She loves it and feels so at home!
Love the activities Director Cindy
reviewed on: 01/06/2018 by DeeWe have our 84 year parent at Bickford- we are overall satisfied with the care- however their are areas Of concern- that we have experienced - 1) HOUSEKEEPING-2) LAUNDRY-3) DIRECTOR OF NURSING-( BLONDO LOCATION) - housekeeping- the upkeep of my parents room- not maintained or per incident cleaned up. Laundry- other residents items mixed in with ours- and items lost / missing! Director of nursing- who oversees our parents well being- a STRONG disconnect - not engaged- and neglegent in making sure He has his Proper medications and supplies - which in turn could result into a life or death situation!! Also his needed Medical accessories on a daily basis - have yet to be found!!
Highly Recommend
reviewed on: 01/25/2017 by Daughter-in-lawThe support from A Place for Mom was amazing and the referral to Bickford was a blessing. We placed my Mother-in-law there and she is thriving. The caregivers are professional, kind, and responsive. We could not be more satisfied with the entire experience from the onboarding into her new apartment to the care she receives daily.
Bickford is like family
reviewed on: 04/10/2018 by Teri GoertzenMy mother spent four wonderful years at the Bickford. She was loved and cared for by many. The staff is exceptional with a special shout out to Amy and Cindy for their caring and knowledgeable services they provided to my Mom. My Mom always felt the Bickford was her home. If things were changing, I was always notified. End of life care is challenging and expensive, but the Bickford family made it easy and loving. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for assistance with their loved one.
My Tour Went Well
reviewed on: 06/09/2016 by AnonymousMy tour of the community went very well. I really liked the director, she was kind and very knowledgeable. It is nice and clean facility. The staff was kind and very helpful, they even stopped to help a resident. The food looked and smelled good. The resident wasn't very engaging, and my mother is a talkative person. It is a very pleasant community, just not the place for my mother.
