My mom started out in assisted living but it was quickly obvious she needed memory care. [Name removed] and [name removed] were exceptionally kind and professional making the transition. They moved her furniture and belongings while my mom and I visited. The staff in [name removed]'s is amazing.

Caring environment!

We had to relocate our 94 year old aunt here from FL. She was at Bickford of Middletown for just under 7 months before her passing. All of the staff at Bickford is so amazing, caring & truly love their work & loved our lil Aunt. They would call us immediately if there was a medication change or for any issues whatsoever. We had peace of mind knowing she was truly cared for. If we could rate higher than the 5 stars we certainly would. They have been a true Godsend for our family. God bless them all!!

[Name removed] was a pleasure to work with. I can't say enough about her. My Mother in Law decided on Bickford, even placing a down payment to only change her mind the following day. The reason for changing of her mind was due to the increased monthly dollars compared to what she is currently paying today. After thinking on it overnight she didn't feel comfortable with spending the additional dollars. She did get the opportunity to see what was out there which I am grateful for. Thank you for everything.

[Name removed] was super, she took the time to find out about my mom, and her likes and special interests. She compiled an entire page! This was so important to me. She said, I cannot offer you placement at the moment until we send a nurse to assess her first! SOLD Plus [name removed] called to learn my views about what I thought of Bickford, on Tues! She even called my sister in Washington, to tell her about Bickford.

We continue to be impressed with Bickford and it's entire staff! The facility is very clean and always decorated beautifully. Mom is so well taken care of, and always involved in activities. Often the director or RN at Bickford send me pictures of mom via text, as she is painting, singing or cooking with Chef [name removed] . Can't express my relief when I see her engaging in activities with her fellow residents! We have peace of mind knowing she's not sitting in her wheelchair alone, isolated and staring off in the distance. Thank you Bickford of Battle Creek!
