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

The Senior's Journey

There are two paths that seniors take as they age: the lower path and the higher path

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.

While waiting for the rest of the residents to arrive for the activity, BFM Kayla and BLT Nicole decided to show everyone how to do the splits! Staff and residents had a good laugh watching them give it their best shot. It was a fun and unexpected way to pass the time before the activity began!

Today we learned a new game! Our residents had a chance to toss hangers and see if they could hook them onto the wooden dowel. It was definitely a tough challenge, but that didn’t stop us from having lots of fun! We enjoyed plenty of laughs, encouragement, and friendly competition. We’re looking forward to discovering what other new games are in store for us!

From classic favorites to beloved new characters, everyone brought a little extra magic to the day! We loved seeing everyone’s creativity and team spirit.

Our residents enjoyed a fun and friendly game of Balloon Volleyball today! We split into men vs. women, and let’s just say… the ladies were on FIRE! The women knocked that balloon over to the men’s side quite a few more times than the men would probably like to admit! There were plenty of laughs, friendly competition, and great teamwork all around. It was a fantastic way to spend the day and enjoy some time together! #BalloonVolleyball #FriendlyCompetition #MensVsWomens #ResidentActivities #FunAndLaughter

These fellas enjoyed a nice, friendly game of bean bag toss after lunch! There were plenty of laughs, good-natured competition, and fun as they cheered each other on.

This is my first adventure with an aging parent and I'm so happy with our choice of The Bickford! Because I'm out of state, I truly depend on your capable staff to care and love my Mom. Although her memory is slipping, she knows she's in a good place and she loves the staff. Shout out to everyone caring for my Mom this month, but a special 'thank you' to (name removed) for her love and concern. ????

Would be higher but I have tried to communicate about a double charge on my bill leaving messages and never heard back.
