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.

Bingo brought the room together today at #BickfordofMarion cards in hand, eyes focused, and just the right amount of friendly competition. From calling out numbers to celebring the little wins, it's moments like these that keep minds engaged and spirits lifted. Simple, social, and always a favorite.

Meals times at Bickford provide socialization and opportunities for choice. Fred was excited that he had the option to choose his meal. Lasagna is on the menu today and it’s definitely a favorite! When we eat well, we live happier and healthier lives. #BickfordofMarion #HigherPath

A captured little jig as we got to grooving with music and movements in the hallways. Smiles, steps, and a whole lot of joy filled every corner as we stayed active together. #BickfordofMarion

I want to thank Bickford & their dedicated, caring staff. Mom was there over 3 1/2 yrs. They gave her purpose, dignity, happiness & friendship. Her final years were meaningful. Bless you all.

We have been with Bickford now for 3.5 years. (name removed) and staff do a great job despite labor shortages. A special shout out to (name removed) on staff who have been with mom since the beginning. We will be seeking a collaborative partner solution in November as our long-term care insurance ends then.
