Bickford currently operates 65 Branches in 11 states with additional Branches in development. Our approximately 2,500 Bickford Family Members (our employees are family to us) love and care for nearly 3000 residents.
While seemingly impressive, growth and size have never been our goal. At the end of the day, all that matters to us is the happiness of the sweet little lady in apartment 406, because nearly 30 years ago that “someone” was our Mary Bickford.

I highly recommend Bickford for anyone who requires a higher level of care. Not only is the building beautiful and clean but the staff are amazing! Bianca and her team were very responsive and proactive in helping my grandmother. My grandmother loved it here and in the event she needs to return to assisted living, she will go back to Bickford. Thank you for genuinely caring!

This is a wonderful assisted living home! The staff is awesome! Above and beyond with kindness. To resident and family. My dad was hospitalized with an illness and needed a skilled facility for a few weeks. The staff came to visit him there and brought him treats. We were so glad when he went back to Bickford. Trish went out of her way to make this happen. They truly are family. My Dad has been at Bickford in Marshalltown for over a year. He has had several health issues, where he has gotten ill very quickly. The staff handles these situations very well. They notified me when they noticed behavior changes and called EMS when needed. I am a nurse and I have confidence in the caregivers there. Glad we have chosen Bickford to be home!
