    When it became clear my dad had dementia and that it was significantly worse than any one person…read morehad been aware, we needed to act quickly. We found BIckford and it has been a godsend! The management and staff have all been incredibly responsive, flexible, attentive, and communicative. Dad's been there about 8 months and is thriving. They did all they could to make the transition as smooth as possible. Any time there has been a hiccup (not their fault, just me getting systems in place from several states away), we have been able to solve the problem and prevent it from happening again. So happy!

    I was employed at Bickford for over 2 months, they lie to you, make promises then fail to fulfill…read more Petty criticisms about dress code and task charting, and how you answer phones and doors. Clients are not the first concern and take back seat to draconian Bickford rules for there workers to adhere to OR else! Employees are required to share a bathroom with male and female employees on a door that cannot be locked securely from within, allowing ANYONE to break in while you are using the facility's, CREEPY, and totally unacceptable under any circumstances. Kitchen is a Toxic waste land which is NEVER cleaned properly, floors are filthy and surfaces are crawling with filthy spills from decades of neglect. Clients are allowed to sit in soiled underwear for extended periods of time, until the disposable underwear disintegrate from within and bodily fluids are allowed to soak through to beds and chairs and down to the floor, disgusting. If you are considering Bickford for your loved one, STOP, don't do it, you will be doing a disservice to your loved ones, and their quality of life will suffer.
