Very intuitive at getting to know your loved one and their needs

Before our loved one moved into Brighton Gardens she ended up in the hospital and then in a rehab facility. The staff members were so accommodating, and held our loved ones room for her in an economical way. Her transition was not the typical transition and they were just so flexible, warm, and caring throughout the entire process. She started our in assisted living, but eventually moved to memory care. She is a lot less stressed out, she is actually really happy and blossoming.

Happy we made this choice.

It is not perfect but they are very responsive to any family concerns. The rooms are very nice and the layout is very nice. Food was very good when it was being served in the dining room but now that they are bringing food to the residents rooms due to the quarantine it is not as good. We have been happy with Bickford. When I first toured Bickford I spoke with a family member who’s loved one had been at Bickford for 5 years and she still she was very positive and loved Bickford so that told me a lot.

During the short time my mother was at Bickford in Okemos, she was well cared for.
