Key Review Excerpts
“The level 5 care is TERRIBLE! They only come check on dad maybe 3x -4x a day for meds and meals…IF they take him to meals. His laundry is not kept up or missing. He barely gets a shower once a week.”
“Bickford is a small place which enables a very intimate setting. Everyone knows each other. Bickford staff was wonderful. Everybody knew each other on a first name basis. It felt like family.”
