Bickford Senior Living

Overall our experience with Bickford of Urbandale has been a good one! It's a nice looking, clean place and the people all seem very friendly. They have a great activities program, and really keep the residents busy! The only real issue I've noticed is some occasional clothing mix-ups with the laundry service.

The feeling of this facility is homey and welcoming. Residents were out and about and staff were engaging. There was a nice enclosed courtyard with raised beds (standing height) for resident gardening. The bedrooms do not have actual doors within the apartments. We prefer to be able to separate the bedrooms from the rest of the living space.

Overall our experience with Bickford of Carmel has been a good one. I really like the care strategy that they use at Bickford. All of the staff, even the managers and other administrative staff, help out with the cleaning, serve in the dining room, etc. For the most part it works very well and all of the residents get a lot of attention and care! There are a few instances where a more tightly organized system would benefit them, but overall my loved one is doing very well here!

Very friendly personnel and more person-centered than previous facility. Price is similar to other facilities for assisted living. I would prefer a breakdown of services on the bill.

Nice place. Very much like a home. Couldn't be happier.

Single level building. Well laid out

This is a tough one. It looks like it was a really nice place about 10 years ago. At this point its a little worked over seems like it may be headed the way of Belvedere Commons in the somewhat near future.

Bickford of Middleton has turned out to be a really great place for Mom. She is still getting used to the transition but it's getting easier with time. The staff have been very welcoming and encourage the residents to do what they can as far as participating in activities and socializing with each other although they don't push them. This is a smaller community so we've had the chance to get to know just about everybody and their families! One issue we've had and the other residents warned us about is the fact that when Laundry is done everyone's clothes are mixed. In order to avoid this happening I may end up doing Mom's laundry myself. Other than that things have been great!

Overall I think they do a good job at Sunrise. It's a nice looking place, and the staff is friendly and professional. My one comment would be that the quality of the food can be very inconsistent.

The staff here is very attentive to the residents. Anytime you have an issue at this facility the staff is always on it and fixing the issue. The staff always make sure they meet the residents needs.

The staff is always attentive and friendly and they make it a very family feeling environment. The food is pretty good too

They never to improve on the level of care they provide. The care is not so good and needs improvement.

The staff at Bickford had been very helpful and friendly. My parents have settled in nicely and seem to enjoy it there.

I toured this community while looking into senior living options for a friend. I thought it seemed like a nice place. They did not have any openings at the time of my tour, but everyone was very friendly and the facility was attractive and clean. They are worth a look if you're looking for senior living options in the area.

It has been an all around good experience at Brighton Gardens Of Brentwood. There is nothing I can think of for them to improve.

The staff here is very professional and helpful. The facility is always clean and well maintained. The residents here seem very happy and well adjusted. A very comfortable and balanced place overall.

So far things seem fine. They seem to do a good job getting her involved in things. We haven't had any major concerns. It's clean and the staff is pretty friendly. It's a hard transition, but they are making the most of it.

Our experience with Bickford of Greenwood was a good one, overall! Our loved one stayed in their assisted living section, and I thought they did a very nice job. The facility was clean and well kept, and the staff was friendly and professional. However, the memory care unit was very expensive, so we ended moving her out once she started needing that level of care.

They have been very helpful as my dad's health has changed and we have had to bring in hospice, which was not expected. They really helped us go through this tough journey. They do seem to be a bit understaffed and because of that there are times where I feel my dad is not getting the attention he needs as quickly as I would like. But I think that would be an issue just about anywhere. Overall though things with Bickford of St. Charles have been very good and I would recommend them.

I absolutely was impressed with them at the very beginning. There was just one glitch at the beginning. They had just changed their policy about TB testing and because they did not know some things, it caused a delay at the beginning. They were very apologetic, but it did cause a lot of stress. A Place For Mom has been wonderful too.
