Community Reviews
I think Bickford is a great place, but there are a few concerns
reviewed on: 12/23/2014 by AnonymousI think Bickford is a great place, and I think the director is fabulous. There have been several instances where some of the grooming and hygiene service plan hasn't been followed through, when she is little reluctant, due to dementia issues. They are being responsive about it, but I think there may be a communication issue. It may just not be the right fit. If it was just an independent living place, it would be fabulous. The first day we came for a meal and they ran out of a few things, and it took a very long time, though I guess if you don't have anywhere to be, that wouldn't. I did ask for regular updates, and it doesn't always happen, but there is one girl that updates me on a fairly regular basis. It's a cute little place, and it's an apartment not just a little room.
the staff is just fantastic
reviewed on: 10/15/2015 by AnonymousThey are treating her really well at Bickford of Springfield. I am pleased with the care they are giving her. She has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The staff is just fantastic at this facility. For what she can do the activities are good. They do try to get her to come down and eat meals. She is doing okay here.
We are happy with the living area and the service.
reviewed on: 04/16/2017 by AnonymousThe facility is lovely, clean and inviting. Staff are friendly and helpful. The apartment is spacious and nice. My brother seems happy there. My mother in law was at Bickford for 2 years before her death. The service then and now are excellent.
Took A Tour!!
reviewed on: 09/02/2016 by AnonymousThe tour guide was knowledgeable, he was able to explain everything very well to me. The community has a beautician on site and are pet friendly. The rooms were presented to me they looked very clean and organized. I did not feel a warmth of the community during my tour. Unfortunately i couldn't feel like my loved one would have been able to feel like living at home.
Accommodating staff!!
reviewed on: 11/04/2016 by AnonymousThe community has been very welcoming to my mother-in-law. The staff at this community really goes an extra step to make her stay as comfortable as possible. They even called her doctor about a certain health concern instead of making me take care of it. The meals are great. When i have had meals there, the chef always says to tell him if there is anything she wants different he will make. Her room feels like an apartment. She has her own bathroom, small kitchen and even a small living room. She has a window in her room which provides extra lighting. They also have a mixture of activities and even a music program. Overall i am very happy with this community, the staff here is always very happy and tend to her every need.
