Community Reviews
Absolutely recommend
reviewed on: 11/06/2020 by Linda SoukupWe chose Bickford of St. Charles because it is very close to where we live, so we were able to visit often before COVID. We also were impressed with the tour. The room sizes here are adequate for his needs. The best part about this community so far has been the friendliness of everyone and the socialization aspect. Also, the manager is very helpful, answers all our questions, and she is easy to get a hold of. I would absolutely recommend this facility.
New and only around 30 residents over...

Home away from home
reviewed on: 07/21/2016 by AnonymousBickford was top choice because it had a sink in the kitchen whereas many assisted living facilities don't. Mom wanted a place where she could make her coffe/ tea when she wanted it. She moved in two weeks ago. My mom really likes Bickford. Her only complaint is the food could be better, that's the reason for the 4 stars. The staff is friendly and helpful, the facilities are clean, and the residents appear happy. in two weeks mom has begun to make friends and found residents that enjoy similar activities to what she enjoys. The management is transparent about costs and has a program in place to help the residents get acclimated . Mom's favorite activity is happy hour every Wednesday . Just like other assisted living facilities, the food is overpriced in that there is no tiered plan for meals but a one size fits all. The common areas are inviting and clean. Mom is getting the assistance she needs and is as happy as one can be when giving up their independence. I would highly recommend Bickford .
too expensive
reviewed on: 09/24/2015 by AnonymousWe liked it at Bickford of St. Charles but it was too expensive so we had to move out. It was their way or the highway. They didn't work with you on anything financially. They are just very friendly there. You felt like part of the family. I do wish it would have worked out.
Very nice surroundings
