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
Memory care communities offer specialized care and support for individuals dealing with memory-related conditions, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. These facilities are equipped with trained staff and offer engaging activities designed to promote well-being while ensuring a safe living environment.
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.

I have been thoroughly impressed with Bickford of Urbandale. The facility is exceptionally clean and welcoming, unlike any nursing home I’ve seen before. The Happiness Coordinator (Activity Director) is remarkable in keeping the residents engaged and entertained with a variety of fun activities. The inviting smells from the kitchen only add to the warm and homely atmosphere. The caregivers and medication assistants are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, providing excellent care and support. Overall, Bickford of Urbandale stands out for its exceptional service and genuine commitment to resident well-being. Highly recommend!

Bickford of Urbandale has been a huge blessing to our family! It's very reassuring to know that my mom is in good hands, has 3 good meals a day provided as well as laundry and housekeeping. The directors and the staff have been very loving toward her and ready to help with any of my questions.

I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience with Bickford of Urbandale, where the dedication and care of the staff truly shine. Sheena, the Activity Director, is an absolute gem. Her enthusiasm and creativity in organizing activities keep all residents engaged and entertained. Even with the most challenging residents, Sheena has an incredible ability to redirect and bring smiles to their faces. Her dual role as a medication assistant further highlights her depth of knowledge and commitment to the well-being of everyone in the facility. Additionally, Sanja, another exceptional medication assistant, has been a cornerstone of the team for many years. Her long-standing dedication and kindness are deeply appreciated and evident in her daily interactions. The entire atmosphere at Bickford of Urbandale is warm and inviting, making it feel more like a home than a facility. If I ever need to place a loved one in assisted living or memory care, Bickford of Urbandale will be my first choice. Their exceptional staff and heartfelt approach to care set them apart.
