Best thing place to live.

Wonderful place to live. Small community makes it feel cozy and welcoming. Home cooked meals. Staff is excellent and care is outstanding. Very attentive to my mother’s needs. I would recommend Bickford for anyone looking for there forever home!

Looks nice but not interested in a community/buy in fee. The location was also the furthest from my home.
