Bickford of Chesapeake

We chose it because of the flexible, independent nature of the community, even for residents who are in memory care. Also, when the level of care increases a move is not necessarily required. One improvement that could be made is a central intake form for family, communications, and requests. The staff is hopeful, but sometimes it is not clear which one you need to speak to.

The facility was clean and presented well. The tour led by [name removed] was excellent. We initially went to the Blondo facility and [name removed] stated that this was not the right facility. She pivoted quickly and we went to Hickory. It was friendly, the staff was great and re food was made from scratch. The focus for the residents is working with them to bring up the level of capability. The activities definitely reduce isolation. The rooms are smaller with limited closet space and no library which were different from other facilities in the area.

We were very impressed when we toured, it was out first choice, however we had a family member that shared a very negative experience with care of another family member in the past year and stated absolutely not. They ended pulling them out of care and placing them in another facility. It was disappointing as the facilitate seemed to meet our needs best.
