Our family's experience

The memory care staff is great. Food is good, cleanliness is fine, Apartment is very small. Received a key fob for entry which is great. Admin's and Maintenance are slow to reply. Do not get patient status updates on care or activities, which would be nice to have.

Somewhat of a small dated facility. Definitely needs an upgrade to include ventilation. Memory Care side is quite small. Not the home feeling I was looking for.

Staff several are very caring which is why we stay but much turnover and poor training. Little communication between shifts, often not adequate numbers ie have to wait for someone to come back to answer a request for toileting or other, poor attention to nails, trimming and cleaning before and after meals since he finger feeds. Occ forget to put bib on Admin has poor communication with me, with staff, very poor in answering questions re meds, lost items which are many, family meetings, events Activities few obser

The Executive Director gave us a thorough tour of the Bickford community and then answered all of our questions. She did a fabulous job! The residents looked quite happy in their environment. Everything was neat and clean.

Friendly and caring staff

Overall, I am pleased with Bickford. At times it seems they are understaffed, but I think that's a very common problem right now.

Bickford of Bloomington living

Overall it's a good facility. Most of the staff I've dealt with are great. There are just a few who have been rude to my mother. But the head nurse resolves any issues quickly. They try to involve the residents in activities that the residents are interested in like bingo and other games.
