Bickford of Urbandale

Your loved one deserves to live the best life possible

Watch your loved one thrive in an environment that feels like home

Navigating the aging journey is difficult.

We understand what’s at stake here: it’s not just someone, it’s your loved one.

Meanwhile, it’s on you to make the difficult decisions.

There's a Higher Path for our seniors

Senior care today is reactive, expensive, and siloed. It’s a sick-care system, not a health-care system (designed to keep seniors healthy). Most of us have accepted this status quo because it feels too big and complex to change. Not us. We’re taking the road less traveled and championing a higher standard of senior care.

Hey everyone! I just had to share how much we absolutely adore our humongous Connect Four game. It's seriously the best! There's something so thrilling about strategizing and trying to outsmart each other while dropping those giant discs. The excitement and friendly competition it brings is unbeatable. Trust me, once you start playing, you won't be able to stop! Let the Connect Four battles begin!

Hey everyone! I'm so excited to share about the amazing time we had at Bickford of Urbandale for story hour. Let me introduce you to our wonderful friend Becky. She's not only an incredible person but also a retired elementary teacher. Even in her retirement, Becky and her husband continue to spread joy by volunteering and reading to children. And guess what? She decided to bring her storytelling magic to us! We were captivated by her enchanting voice and the way she brought the stories to life. It was such a heartwarming experience. Can't wait for more storytelling adventures with Becky!

Hey everyone! Today, my friends and I had a great time in the courtyard, enjoying some fresh air. We decided to get some exercise and took 5 laps around the courtyard. It felt so refreshing! We also took the opportunity to straighten up a bit and make the courtyard even more beautiful. It was such a productive and energizing time. Can't wait for more courtyard adventures!

Hey everyone! Today, my friend Larry and I had an incredible time exploring the world of bird watching. We dove into a bird book and let me tell you, it was mind-blowing! The colors, the details, everything was just amazing. Larry's passion for bird watching is truly inspiring. Can't wait for our next adventure in the bird-watching world!

This lovely lady by the name of Sue had a birthday yesterday and graduated Fox P.T. so we treated her with a feet soak and massage. It was an absolutely perfect gift for all of her hard work. Happy Birthday Sue!!!

This afternoon was an absolute blast! Our dear friend Sally had a blast putting together puzzles, showcasing her incredible skills. And you know what? Our amazing friend Lillie, with her love for organization, happily took charge of cleaning up and putting everything away for us. It's so awesome to have such talented and helpful friends!

Good morning, everyone! Today in our awesome Mary B's neighborhood, we had an absolute blast during our Rise and Shine Hour! We pampered ourselves with stylish hairdos, and indulged in some luxurious lotion. Trust me, it's incredible how much better we feel after this amazing self-care session!

Oh, what an incredible evening we had before dinner! Our dear friend Lucille brought her amazing quartet group to serenade us with their beautiful songs. We were all completely mesmerized and had an absolute blast! The atmosphere was filled with joy and laughter, and we couldn't have asked for a more memorable time. Can't wait for the next musical gathering! #MusicMagic #UnforgettableEvening

    I have a fob to open the front door. It hardly ever works so the staff has to stop what they are doing to come help. Nice workers.! But it takes them away from their work.
