I toured every place in town. Happy my loved one can stay here as she ages, & I don't have to worry.

If you have an individual that is starting to have problems with dementia, it's a very good place to go. We feel very comfortable with them. It's a small community, and they really try to get the residents engaged in activities that are appropriate for each person's level of dementia. The residents all have their own individual apartments, and they can have pets. Bickford of Omaha - Blondo truly specializes in dementia and does a great job with that population. The food is good and homemade. I think it's a very good value here.

I liked that this community was built for their grandma - one of their own grandparents. They tried to keep it very family oriented, and it was family owned. We decided it looked very nice, even from the outside. And we liked the smaller size of the community. But it was farther away from family. And we were also looking for a place where our loved one could transition into a Medicaid room down the line when necessary. So we chose a different place for her. But they did a great job with the virtual tour and were very personable. It was not an easy decision.

Fantastic place for mom

We chose Bickford of West Lansing because we thought it was a very nice facility when we went to visit. My moms room is a little on the smaller side. She loves the food, they are chef prepared meals and what I have been told is that they use all fresh produce which is much healthier. The staff members here are very helpful and I would definitely recommend to others.
