What this means for your family
Bickford Cottage II has a long-standing reputation for excellent activity programming and a warm, welcoming staff that many families appreciate. However, given the serious and specific allegations regarding pest infestations and cleanliness in early 2026, we strongly advise you to conduct an unannounced visit and specifically inspect the condition of the rooms and common areas before making a decision.

40 reviews on Google“Bickford Cottage II in Sioux City receives high praise for its engaging activity programs and warm, family-like atmosphere, with many reviewers noting that residents appear happy and well-cared for. However, recent reviews from early 2026 contain serious allegations regarding pest infestations, including bed bugs and cockroaches, as well as concerns about cleanliness and management oversight. Families should weigh the long-standing positive reputation for engagement against these recent, critical reports regarding facility maintenance and hygiene.”
