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.
Independent Living
Designed to help older adults who want to maintain an active and independent lifestyle, these communities offer services and amenities that cater to residents’ needs, while encouraging a sense of community and freedom from the responsibilities of owning a home.
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.

My wife came to Bickford with Alzheimer's, and type 1 diabetes both of which she had for some years. She subsequently developed a bed sore which became progressively worse and was treated as a wound. After she had been here for a number of months, we requested the services of Northern Illinois Hospice. Hospice provided medical equipment and additional nursing which was wonderful. I can't say enough for the nurses and caregivers at Bickford. They were the best. They showed care and compassion beyond what I had expected. They treated and cared for my wife as if she was family. All the staff were genuine and I consider many of them as friends even after my wife recently passed. They are just good people and I thank all of them for what they did for my wife and myself.

We moved my mom into Bickford a couple of months ago and they were so welcoming. They made her feel at home and are always making sure to include her in activities. The staff is so friendly and ready to help answer any questions. We are very happy with our decision to move her there.

Making the decision to place a parent/loved one into assisted living is never an easy one. Bickford was there every step of the way to ensure the safety and utmost care was provided for my mom. This includes the decision-making process, move in process, and life after the move. The staff have been top notch both in taking care of my mom and also with assisting my dad dealing with placing his wife of 55+ years into care. A friendly, very clean, inviting and caring facility. Meals are delicious and well thought of for the residents of all. The approach Bickford takes of memory care, assisted living and independent care is an approach I have not seen before in a facility and one of the main reasons for our choice. Bringing everyone together verse segregation helps all. This is truly a place I would recommend. Thank you to all of the Bickford staff for providing the love and care you see right when you enter the facility…
