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.
Great staff!
reviewed on: 02/10/2020 by Paul WebergMy dad moved into the memory care section of Bickford of St. Charles at the end of December. Beginning with our very welcoming interview with Colleen the director, my family and I have been very pleased with the care they have provided for my dad. He is clean, content, well fed, and active. There are plenty of interactions he has with the staff as well as activities to enhance his mental and physical capacity. We are new to the dementia world and how it affects people. The staff and Colleen the director have been incredibly patient and kind to my family. Colleen spent an hour on the phone with my mom reassuring my mom about my dad's condition...giving her time outside of normal work hours (the phone call was on a Sunday). The staff, from top to bottom, have given my family and I peace of mind knowing that Dad is getting the best care around. Thank you seems too easy to say for what you have given to my dad and us. May God reward you!
