Finally, a place for mom
reviewed on: 01/09/2014 by grandma of 4My sister and I checked out many residences for our mom before we decided on the Bickford of St. Charles, Il. The staff there was very friendly and informative when we toured the facility. The place is very clean and feels like an elegant but comfortable home with lots of open gathering spaces and a number of cozy fireplaces. The dining room is decorated very comfortably and each resident is given a menu to choose their meals from. The floor plans for each apartment are roomy and laid out for the convenience of the person living there. The fact that you bring your own furniture to your apartment makes it feel more like home. The rooms have big, bright windows that allow a lot of natural light to enter your space. Housekeeping and laundry service are also provided witch makes it easy for your loved one to live hassle free. Our mom has only been here for two weeks and she is having a few problems with adjusting to her new surroundings but the staff is helping her with that. She is 89 years old and until now has lived on her own. She also has some dementia so things are a little difficult for her, but my sister and I are sure we made the best choice for our moms health, safety, and well being by choosing the Bickford.
Seemed like a nice place
reviewed on: 01/29/2015 by AnonymousWe toured this community when we were looking into care options for a loved one. We thought this place looked very nice, and after touring quite a few places it was our second choice overall! The staff were all very friendly, and the residents seemed well cared for.
really helped us
reviewed on: 10/14/2015 by AnonymousThey have been very helpful as my dad's health has changed and we have had to bring in hospice, which was not expected. They really helped us go through this tough journey. They do seem to be a bit understaffed and because of that there are times where I feel my dad is not getting the attention he needs as quickly as I would like. But I think that would be an issue just about anywhere. Overall though things with Bickford of St. Charles have been very good and I would recommend them.
Great placement
reviewed on: 09/09/2015 by AnonymousThe staff at Bickford was able to work with me to get my mother moved in just a week after she was discharged from rehab care and still needed more attention than family could manage at her home. Great people!
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.
