Bickford of Gurnee

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.

As Family Advocate, my role is to walk alongside you as you explore senior living options, answer questions (big or small), and make sure you feel supported every step of the way. Whether you’re just starting to look or are ready to take the next step, I’m here as a resource, a guide, and a friendly face you can trust.

Yesterday, our branch was thrilled to welcome a very special guest from the Gurnee Police Department— therapy dog Mira! The visit brought smiles, comfort, and plenty of tail wags to our residents. Spending time with the Mira created a calm and joyful atmosphere, giving residents a chance to relax, connect, and enjoy some extra love and attention. Moments like these remind us how powerful animal-assisted therapy can be in lifting spirits and supporting emotional well-being. We are so grateful to the Gurnee Police Department for taking the time to visit our community and share their incredible therapy dog, Mira, with us. It was truly a heartwarming experience, and one our residents will be talking about for days to come! We couldn't tell who was smiling bigger - our residents or Mira! #BickfordofGurnee #AssistedLiving #MontessoriMemoryCare #GurneePD

    (name removed) is very happy with the improvements made in the culinary department . Service is now prompt and food quality has improved too

  • Mar 5, 2026

    I was told to take (name removed) to ER that Hansa had requested it. Hansa said it was only if she was showing signs from the low sodium. This trip cost her $150 co-pay which could've been avoided. The hospital did nothing for her.

  • Feb 3, 2026

    (name removed) is happy with the meal service improvements and new Kitchen manager! Also happy with new activities daily.

  • Jan 5, 2026

    Thing are getting better. Still need more attention on weekends and cleaning up in the dining areas

  • Jan 5, 2026

    I have seen improvement in response times and have been especially impressed with (name removed) and (name removed)- two aides who are very efficient and kind, and do everything with no drama whatsoever

  • Nov 6, 2025

    There is no real diet plan for diabetics. Since this is also memory care, someone needs to help with that especially in meal planning.

  • Aug 7, 2025

    Diabetics need more help from the kitchen staff.

  • Aug 3, 2025

    Overall satisfied. Still slow dining services at time. Thank you
