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.

At Bickford of Okemos we love our daily Uno games. Uno time is 3pm. It promotes social interaction, cognitive engagement, and emotional well-being through simple and familiar rules which can be adaptive to all skill levels.

Singing hymns in assisted living can bring comfort, evoke memories, and improve mood for residents, so Bickford og Okemos host group sing-alongs every Monday afternoon. Our residents look forward to this time of fellowship.

It’s flu clinic day at Bickford of Okemos! Our lovely residents received their annual 65 & up flu vaccines today, thanks to our friends at the Meijer Flu Outpatient Clinic. Keeping our residents healthy and protected is always a top priority — and today was another great step in that mission! A big thank you to everyone who helped make the day smooth and full of smiles. #FluClinic #BickfordOfOkemos #TheHigherPath #ResidentCare

Staying Healthy on the Higher Path at Bickford of Okemos At Bickford of Okemos, our HigherPath program is all about keeping our residents healthier, longer — and that includes protecting them from seasonal illnesses. This week, we’re hosting our annual Flu Clinic right here in the branch to make it easy and convenient for our residents and team members to get their flu shots. The flu vaccine is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent serious illness, especially for older adults. By getting vaccinated, we’re not just protecting ourselves — we’re helping to protect our friends, family, and community. Through proactive care, on-site health services, and a commitment to prevention, our partnership with Curana Health helps keep our residents on the HigherPath to wellness all year long. At Bickford of Okemos, we believe staying healthy starts with taking small steps — like getting your flu shot! #BickfordOfOkemos #HigherPath #CuranaHealth #FluClinic #SeniorLiving #Wellness

(name removed) is the best director we could have ever had and I am heartbroken she is leaving. Bickford corporation should have done everything in the power to make her want to stay. We are thankful for (name removed) and all she has done for the residents, families and staff.

Upset Director (name removed) is leaving- HUGE Loss!!! she is a the reason both my parents came to Bickford - great leader and person - huge heart and will be hard to replace- Bickford has been a positive family home since she took over- would see her actively involved at all hours and in many situations - Led from the front- immediately addresses concerns - will be missed! Bickford should try to retain her...

There are several consistent caring wonderful staff at the Bickford that "go the extra mile": (names removed) - these are the staff that were assisting my mother during my visit this past week!! Thank you for caring for these essential staff members that provide me "peace of mind".

We have started to notice that my grandfather is not being changed as regularly as he should as the majority of time when we visit he is soaking wet from urine and the pads on his chair and wheelchair are regularly wet as well. Additionally, the room seems to not be cleaned very often as there is generally the same pieces of trash in the same spot between visits as well. Other than that, the staff is extremely nice and seem to be helping identify ways to help with his hallucinations.

We are so happy with my Mom's care! I've never experienced such great people in an elder care situation! We made a spectacular choice moving my Mom here!

Would be great to have a few men's activities a month since we have so many men now and men dislike crafts
