On May 11, 2026, I visited Bickford Senior Living in Fredericksburg VA as I was researching the facility on behalf of a very hesitant parent. I was greeted by Whitney. Whitney was extremely helpful in answering all of my questions regarding the community, costs, etc. The staff was very friendly & the facility was very well maintained.

False advertising

Bickford started out on the wrong foot. We were promised so much care and attention, good food, people looking out for our family member. First 2 weeks he never got his meds, we were lied to and they didn't give him medicine. Always short staffed, no housekeeping as promised, we clean his room They do his laundry, have lost it twice. Took two weeks to get a light bulb changed, have found his meds on the floor numerous times, no one checked to make sure he took it. Food had gotten horrible. There is no management ri

It's an excellent facility. The food is good, the facility is clean, and overall smells good. They were very helpful answering questions although some information was miscommunicated. The staff is helpful and has been trying to really do a good job.

Review for Bickford of Spotsylvania

Four months ago, my mother moved to The Bickford of Spotsylvania, Virginia. My family recommends the place. Mom is happy and well-tended too. We toured 5 plus establishments before selecting The Bickford. Our experience at Bickford has been positive; albeit a learning experience. This is our first encounter with a retirement home. Situations we have learned along the way are more of learning curves versus bad experiences. My mother started in the assisted living section. Here the individuals walk to meals; share li

Bickford gives a homey feel. Lots of cheerful staff around who appear to care about the individual residents. It may not be the fanciest place I toured, but if and when the time comes, it is the place I would choose for my spouse.
