Bickford Senior Living

When we toured Bickford, we did not like the feel, we felt that it had more of an institutional feel when you go in instead of feeling like home. It was the call lights, they made it feel that way.

This seemed like a nice community when I visited. The people I met were nice and they offered some nice amenities. This community did not have an opening at the time we toured it.

My sister-in-law did a lot of the foot work me and toured this community for me. She liked the way it looked and it would have been a suitable pick for our needs but it was not as close to my house like I wanted.

I did not receive a full tour of this community. I was only in the lobby. The part of the community I saw was nice. I did pick up some literature to find out more about the community. This community was a little more expensive and a little farther away than the one we chose.

The staff at this community have all been wonderful to my loved one while she has been in there care. They are attentive to her needs and make sure she is comfortable in her living environment. She enjoys participating in activities with the other residents from time to time and has made many friends. The only thing that they say she could improve on is the meals they serve.

This is a pretty nice community, and so far my mother is doing well with her move to this community. I do feel she is safe, and in good hands. They have a good staff, and they are caring for her well. They have nice meals, and good activities available for the residents. The only thing that needs improvement is the laundry services. Other than that issue everything is working out pretty for us at this community, and I would recommend it.

This is a nice community, and my tour of it went well. The community was well-kept from what I saw. The staff was friendly, and kind. There were many factors that played into where to place my father. My tour was nice, but this wasn't the community for us.

I loved Bickford of Tinley Park when I toured. The facility is beautiful, and the person that took us around could have been nicer. It was a good experience and we would have loved to chose this place, but it was priced higher than we could afford.

I took a few tours with one being Bickford of Urbandale. This place was nice, it was clean and everyone from the most part was friendly. Some of the places, though, would not call me back after they evaluated my mother which was very discouraging.

It has been an adjustment process for my father with his move to this community, but overall I'am pleased with all they have done for us. The staff is wonderful, and the director has a great relationship with him. There are lots of activities available for the residents. Just recently he went on a nice field trip to the botanical gardens. I've had a meal. and the food is excellent. The community is very well maintained. I know he is safe, and in good hands at this community, and I would recommend it.

We toured this community for care. The room was nice, but it seemed as little congested for care. The staff was nice and friendly and they were able to answer the questions we had. We liked the activities that would be offered. We would suggest that families tour this community for the care of a loved one.

I'am satisfied with my mothers move to this community. So far everything is working out pretty well, and she is doing good. They have a good staff, and they have been attentive, and helpful. They have activities available for the residents when they are ready to participate. With my mother being the picker eater she is, surprisingly she is satisfied with the meals. I like the fact it is a nice, small community. It isn't so overwhelming to my mother. This is a community I would recommend, it is working out well for us.

The staff here are very nice and very helpful to my needs. I have activities that I enjoy.with the other residents. The food is needing some improvements due to cooking casserole meals. The staff does everything they can and there is always something to do and they take our trips outside of the community. I would recommend this community to others looking for a good envirmemt. The meals need some small improvements, but overall I like the enviroment.

Place is beautiful !!! We think our mom is a little past this area of living. She may need more assistance, but this would be costly. Also this is a self pay community and we are thinking she will need to go on Medicaid shortly.

This community looked nice and clean when we visited. The community was a little farther away than what we would have liked. This community allows pets and has nurses on site.

I liked this community when I toured it. The community was a little older, however it did have a good feel to it. The staff were welcoming and the director was nice. The community could use some minor updates. This community was our second choice.

My mother in law is still adjusting with her move to this community. The most important thing is that they are taking very good care of her, and her needs. They have a really good staff at this community. They do a good job with keeping the community, and her room well maintained. She is receiving good care, and we are satisfied with all they have done for us. This is a community I would recommend, it is a nice place.

I liked the tour at this community. They do offer a lot of great care for residents who need a higher lever of care. The community was nice and we found it to be clean and maintained. We would suggest other families tour this community for care of a family member.

We enjoyed touring Bickford with [Removed]. It has a very warm "homey" feel especially as you walk up to the main entrance. We liked the fairy gardens! The lunch was very good and experienced a very nice fondue during a party. We will keep Bickford in mind for the future. Thanks to [Removed] for her help.

My mother is still adjusting to all of the changes. The Bickford of Crystal Lake has been wonderful, I do not live in the same state but over the phone, they sound like they're caring and taking care of my mother.
