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.

My husband spent the last three months of his life at Bickford. I can't say enough about the facility. The staff was very caring and made the transition easier for me. It was a tough time but Bickford staff was wonderful.

I recently volunteered at Bickford of West Des Moines to decorate for the Christmas season. I was very impressed with the employees’ commitment to making Bickford a great place for the residents to live. In my time I spent there I could tell that part of the culture is to make the residents number one. Employees go out of their way to put a smile on the residents’ faces. They truly went the extra mile to make sure that the Christmas season was special for all of their residents at Bickford. It made me feel like my time was well spent to help out an organization the cares so much about their residents. I would recommend Bickford to anyone looking for an assisted living facility or even just more information about assisted living facility for the future.

Bickford was available when we most needed the help in finding a place for Mom. Room was adequate and well priced. The quality of care with her Alzheimer's, is awesome because she can still feel semi-independent, and I feel good about that. The food and amenities are also also great. Conveniently located too in West Des Moines. What more could you ask for in a safe and caring place for Mom?
