Bickford Senior Living

I first learned of the Bickford Assisted Living facilities when I took my mother to visit a friend in the Bickford of Rockford, IL. I was very surprised at how nice the facility was and when I asked for information, the people were very helpful. I have come to now know that this is the standard by which their homes are run. My mother was ready to leave her apartment and we started looking at facilities around the western suburbs of Chicago. We looked at two Bickford facilities, both of which were excellent. During our visits the staff was very friendly and informative. One thing I notice right away the staff always spoke to the residence and called them by name. Something I did not see at other places. We eventually settled on the Bickford of St Charles, IL and could not be more pleased with the decision. It is no longer an assisted living facility but a warm and caring home for my mother. They have a full day of activities with something for everyone. The food may be too good as my mother has but on a little too much weight. The staff at St Charles is very good and they all know my mother which is obvious when I talk to them. The home is kept in top condition and is always decorated in season. This location sponsors periodic events for the entire family and they do an excellent job with these family occasions. The Bickford of St Charles has been an excellent home and has been instrumental in making the transition from apartment living to assisted living painless for my mother. I highly recommend any of the Bickford homes and especially the St Charles location.

I would highly recommend them to anyone. It is a nice place and they were very accommodating when we move my mom into the community. The staff go out their way to help her and they are very nice. She likes it there and that is a blessing because she did not like any other places. It is a smaller atmosphere and she knows everybody and made some new friends too.

We looked at Bickford and were very impressed. It was a nice community but we felt it was a little bit out of our way and would make visiting more difficult.

We moved our family member with memory issues into Bickford about 1-1/2 months ago. His health has already greatly improved. He moved in there when we realized we could no longer meet his needs in our home. He moved in to Bickford after a hospital and long rehab stay and he was so week that he had become wheelchair bound. He is already up with his walker & looks years younger. They are diligent with meeting his needs (regular toileting, doctor ordered water restriction enforced, social interaction, even physical kind & appropriate touch). The nurses, CNA's & administrative staff are all very aware of him and his specific needs - well trained, knowledgeable & friendly. They are very loving & consistent with all that they do for him. He normally would complain about food - but he is happy with the food provided there. We are thrilled with the level of care. Great team caring for our loved one.

I toured this community when we were looking for my mother-in-law. It was a nice community and I would recommend it.

This was a beautiful and welcoming community, but at the high end of the price rangs.

My mother is really enjoying the Bickford of Peoria. She is eating a lot better and the staff is good to her. I would recommend this place because they treat my mother well, and it feels more like a family home than a facility.

Really top notch care. This ended up being primarily a hospice situation for my mother and we could not have asked for a better situation for that. Comfortable with excellent care. . The staff was available and attentive to her needs. She was comfortable with the care and community. They were able to assist her in every way possible. The community we found to be clean and maintained. I would recommend this community for everything they did to help my mom. Nice place. Highly recommended.

I met with [Removed] at Bickford of Middletown during my search for assisted living for my mom. [Removed] was so friendly and welcoming during my visit. She was genuinely proud of Bickford and the services they provide for their residents. During my intiial meeting, [Removed] went through the brochure, pricing, and answered all of my questions. We then took a tour, including a visit to one of the resident's apartment. It is a warm and friendly place. The staff all have smiles on their faces. The residents looked happy - some were working on a puzzle, some were sitting by the fire, and some were watching out the window. Everything was very clean and the furnishings comfortable. They go above and beyond to meet the needs of their residents. Very happy with our choice!

I can not say enough about our exceptional experience working with Bickford. My mother in law is doing well at this community. The staff are welcoming, supportive and have a high level of encouragement. They have numerous daily activities. The community is clean and well maintained. She seems to like the food. I like the setup of this community for memory care residents as it is hard for them to get lost. This is a smaller more intimate community and I would recommend it.

My parents were happy in this community. The staff were nice and always caring. This community is clean and maintained. They seem to like the meals but small improvements could be made. They had activities to enjoy. We would recommend this community for good care and a good value to other families.

Good morning, the tour went very good and I was very impressed and we are moving forward with them to visit with mom.

My mother really wanted a place that was closer to where she was at before but with a higher level of care and this community was perfect for that. The staff has been very good to her and very accommodating. She is happy with the meals and I think we made a good choice.

Sunrise of Worthington is wonderful in every way !

patient and caring. The community is very nice and clean. They offer activities for those who are able to participate. The meals are appealing. We would recommend this community for good care and value

We like this community. The staff is very helpful. The meals are very good and she seems pleased with them. They offer a lot o great activities. A very clean community that we really do recommend to other families for the care and value received here.

So far everything is going pretty well, and I'am pleased with my mothers move to this community. She is improving, and they are taking good of her, and her needs. They have a good staff, they have been attentive, and helpful. She has gotten involved in the activities they have available. It has been a good experience, and all is well.

I'am satisfied with my father move to this community. He is doing well, and they are taking good care of him, and his needs. I'am comfortable with the care he is being provided with. So far everything is working out well, and this is a community I would recommend.

The 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.
