for a local A Place for Mom advisor

We began our quest into senior living because of our love for our beloved mother, Mary Bickford, whose needs became too great for us to manage.  As we researched senior living options, we were shocked at our findings.  The options offered too much or too little — none met her needs and nothing felt like home.  Since we couldn't find what we wanted, we decided to create what we needed.  Our main desire was to create a place that helped her achieve an equivalent peace and happiness that she had earlier in her life.

We understand that selecting a senior living community for your loved one is one of the toughest decisions that you will ever face. We will work with you to ensure that the transition is as easy and comfortable as possible. Whether your loved one is at home, in the hospital or even in another state, we can work with your hospital, insurance company, and doctor to make your difficult decision easier on you and your family.  Aging can be difficult — but we've also seen the beauty in aging.  Our mother's happiness inspired us.  We created Bickford for her and now we're devoted to serving yours.  We look forward to meeting you soon.

  • Hope for the best, but keeps your eyes open

    Everybody there has been really nice, there are some parts of the community that is very clean and other parts not as clean. Sometimes when we visit our loved ones they have cob webs in the corner of their room, and the toilet isn't always clean. Both our loved one really enjoy the meals and dining service, and when we do stop by there is always something going on for the residents. Overall we have been very happy but there could be room for improvement with the communication, sometimes it is a hit or miss with the head nurse.
