Bickford is a wonderful living facility that exceeds all expectations. Every time I visit my grandpa, I am greeted by friendly staff and it is a very clean, well-maintained place. Bickford does an incredible job of keeping residents social and entertained; the amount of activities my grandpa participates in is wonderful! He has went on field trips, painted rocks, done science experiments, and so much more. Bickford also hosts several family events that we have enjoyed, such as Donuts with Grandparents and Trick or Treat. Our family is so relieved and happy to have Grandpa in a safe and loving community that truly knows him and cares.

Had an amazing time doing a door to door trick or treating! Staff was amazing and kind even though they were frazzled since this was the first “trunk or treat”. The residents were friendly and so happy to see all the kids in costume! Will definitely come back next year! Thank you so much for putting that on!

Bickford is very family oriented, beautiful, and full of warm positive vibes. They took the greatest care of my grandmother when she lived there. We knew she was in good hands at all times. The caregivers and all staff members alike really love the residents and treat them like family. They go above and beyond to make their residents comfortable in their transition to assisted living. The meals are homemade, delicious, and ever-changing so it's never the same old things. The residents are always busy doing fun activities daily. Outings, trivia, art, historical presentations, and even live musicians come to play. Every staff member has a smile on their face and will help you with absolutely anything. They form real bonds and connections with their residents. It's not just a job to the staff and that truly makes all the difference. I would 100% recommend Bickford to anyone in search of an assisted living facility for their family member. You really have the peace of mind you need when your family member is living at Bickford Senior Living of Burlington.
