Care
Assisted Living
A living option for seniors or individuals who require assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, or medication management while maintaining a level of independence. Assisted living facilities offer personalized care plans and social activities that promote quality of life for their residents.
Memory Care

Respite Care
Respite care is short-term or temporary care. Respite care can be provided in adult day centers, in private homes via home health agencies and in senior living communities, most often assisted living or skilled nursing facilities.

Our family feels love at Bickford Of Okemos Mom has a traumatic brain injury from a car accident, and they recognize that her situation is different than a more usual type of aging. She can’t hear very well, so she can’t interact as much as she might, but they seem to know her personality deeply. Mom doesn’t like to participate in group events very often. Therefore, they help us arrange for her to regularly join family for lunch at her favorite restaurant. They also know she likes music so they will work extra hard at getting her out of her room when there’s music going on. We have never regretted once our choice to place mom at this caring and lovely facility. She moved in at the end of January 2020, and she just had her 90th birthday. She never got sick when Covid was really scary. Overall, 100%! We love Bickford!

Employees don't care about residents. Everyone is neglected and there is so much drama between co workers it's ridiculous. Manager is shifty and 2 faced you can't trust a word she says. If you truly care for your loved one you are better off going somewhere else. The level of abuse and neglect in this place should be illegal.

The Bickford has been an excellent place for my mother. The staff and leadership connect and build relationships with residents and their family members. The size and construction of the residential community promotes a positive and engaging environment. The outdoor atrium is one of our favorite spaces. If you are looking for a person oriented assisted living residence in the Okemos area, place the Bickford at the top of your list.

Bickford has been working so hard on taking care of my grandmother. The staff always made me feel welcome to visit. Bickford gives off this feeling of home, which made it super easy to have my grandma stay there. The director is incredible and i could tell she cared very much for the other residents there.
