Bickford Senior Living

It’s been a wonderful experience for my grandma. The care for my grandma is priority and Bickford of Ames has continuously shown her exceptionally good care and kindness. I would recommend Bickford of Ames to anyone I know!

The friendliness of the staff gets a 5+. Mom is always happy... what more could you want! We love the Positive staff interaction and we would absolutely recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

To be truthful, it was the first one available after spending 12 days in the hospital trying to find somewhere. If a friend asked me about it I would tell them I got lucky. It is everything I had hoped it would be.

Prices just went up but...what's new, right. what our family likes the most about the community is mostly that mom is happy and not lonely at her apartment...took some convincing.

The reason we picked this community is because my aunt has lived there.My mom really enjoys her time there it is a very pleasant place to live!

It was a good experience overall but my Mother did not want to be there. We tried out for 2-week respite for a break for me as caregiver.Good recommendation from 'A Place for Mom", I liked the staff; price reasonable.

The interaction/communication with the staff has been very good. We picked this community becasue of the cost, and friendly staff.

My loved one is currently a resident at Bickford of Upper Arlington and everything has been great for him at this facility. All of the staff are great. They get to know their residents and really want the best for them. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The care services and value for cost are also great. I would definitely recommend Bickford of Upper Arlington to others.

My family recently had placed my Mother in Bickford during her hospice care. They were all amazing! From the administration to the care staff, all treated Mom like she was their mother. We are forever grateful for all of your care and kindness during her stay. Thank you!

100% would recommend the community to a friend or family member.

What our family likes the most about the Bickford of Peoria is the staff. The staff goes the extra mile to take great care of my mother. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

In the last 18 months I’ve toured many senior living options to find a place for my mom. Bickford in West Des Moines didn’t hit my radar right away and I wish it had. The staff is kind, the nurse has been there a long time, and the sales team east to work with. With its locked facility and large courtyard my mom is safe. I know if something is going on they call me. When I left one of my first tours there a woman was driving by. She rolled her window down and told me her mom used to live there and anytime she was in town she does a drive by because she missed her mom and all the times she used to visit. The facility doesn’t have all the bells and whistles and updates, but from someone that went with a place that did I regretted it. This place has heart, kindness, and dedication. Thank you!

Our family had an in person tour with Bickford, and they provided a wonderful tour and explanation. One bedroom was a little small. Liked facility was one floor and beautiful center courtyard. Liked hearing the Bickford story and wall of military and police residents

A place for mom was great to work with! They took the time and answered all questions. We like the halls, rooms and common areas. We picked this community because of the location, and staff. The call response is to be within 4 min. If the call is not answered, it goes to management. We felt that is more accountable than just a call light. We did check reviews for Bickford. That did not have good reviews concerning the call response time, until they implemented new system.

My parents are residents at Bickford of Peoria. The housekeeping is wonderful! They come in once a week, like clockwork, and clean while my parents are at breakfast. The staff is wonderful with taking care of my mother, who needs lots of help. Both nurses,[names removed], are so kind and caring with her. The kitchen staff is fantastic! My Mom just found out that she needs her food pureed and they have been so helpful and kind to her. My father needs a heart valve replaced. His cardiologist told him yesterday that he can only have beef and pork once a week. Once again, the Chef stepped up and will prepare chicken and fish specifically for him. I highly recommend this facility to others!

Our family had an in person tour with Bickford of Chesterfield and the community as well as the tour experience was awesome but the price was just to high.

Enjoyed a small event for the residents and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Residents and staffed seem to enjoy it there. It’s nice to see the staff get their residents out in the community. I think it makes a difference on quality of life.

I felt that my loved one got excellent care at this facility. Everyone here was knowledgeable and pleasant. My loved one's laundry was done and his room was clean. He had fallen, but was wearing a monitor that alerted them immediately. They took his vitals and assessed him and called me to let me know that he'd fallen but was not injured. He was able to corroborate their story. My only problem was getting someone to help him communicate with us. He's unable to Video Chat or call independently, so it was kind of a hassle to get someone to help him with that. That's been a problem with every facility that he's gone to. I would highly recommend this facility to friends and family.

[name removed] was fantastic and so friendly. She got us through the signup process quickly. Brookdale is the best. The facility is very clean. The staff are extremely friendly. I play piano and couldn't help but notice the beautiful grand piano in the facility.

My mom was at Bickford from [date removed]until she passed away in [date removed] The entire staff was fabulous, meal variety was very good, activities were wonderful, rooms were always good. The garden area was a very pleasant place to visit with my mom.
