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 Upper Arlington Assisted Living and Memory Care, we’re seeing a noticeable increase in engagement in our memory care community by leaning into Montessori principles. Residents are more involved, more confident, and more connected when activities are meaningful, led by residents themselves and rooted in purpose. This person-centered approach allows residents to use their strengths, make choices, and feel valued every day. #Montessori #BickfordofUpperArlington #SeniorLiving #MemoryCare #AssistedLiving #PurposeWithAge

My mom has been dressed and has seemed to have showered during the last few visits. Thank you!

They've taken steps in the right direction in making things right for my mom, so grateful for that. Keep it up! We are very very sad (name removed) is leaving. Unsure what the future holds with lots of staff turnover.

My mother is well, but she needs more engagement on the Memory Care floor. I know staff are busy with everyone, but I think my mother spends too much time in her room always packing things away. She needs more activities to join or engage in. Thank you.

I see the employees working hard to update the building and it really helps. Things look great. The new nursing director (name removed) is helpful and very responsive. She is a great support and I appreciate all she is doing to help with my Mom.

I greatly appreciate that Bickford has the Bickford store and Bickford bucks to allow residents to buy gifts for their family. It gives them the opportunity to express their love for their family members. Thank you for helping residents be more independent.
