Our Tour Experience

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.

A smaller community

We chose Bickford of Canton because I felt that my moms needs would be met, it is a smaller community vs a larger building so the staff to patient ratio was better and I walked in and it felt like home. She is in a memory care studio and I think for her purposes it is just fine. Everybody knows everybody here, the staff members are so friendly and know each resident by name even their family members. I would recommend to others looking.
