About The Residence at Presque Isle Bay
Imagine yourself in a dreamy retirement community, where meals are daily celebrations, friends are all around, and soothing views of the water are just a glance away. Bayside living at Bickford of Presque Isle Bay in Erie, Pennsylvania might be just what you’re looking for. Enjoy picturesque scenes of the bay as you relax while we provide both assisted living and memory care services. We believe there is no higher calling than that of a caregiver, and the quality of our care reflects our purposeful service. Rooted in the care we wished for our own aging relatives, family-owned Bickford Senior Living has been serving families like yours for over 30 years. We’re within a few miles of several healthcare facilities and minutes from the excitement of downtown Erie. Contact an A Place for Mom advisor today to discover the Bickford difference! Our Community Our cozy common areas are furnished to feel just like home, whether you’re laughing with friends in a game of noodle volleyball or savoring a made-from-scratch meal in the dining room. You’ll have the option to join in a variety of daily activities, special events, and outings around town through our Life Enrichment Program. Plus, Bickford loves animals! Bring your own pet, befriend one of the house pets, or enjoy animal therapy. We even offer pet care! Our array of services is structured to provide for basic needs, personal care needs, and those intangible needs of the human spirit that support overall wellbeing. Residents receive the precise services for their unique situation, with a nurse-reviewed personal care plan and five distinct levels of care — from independent through advanced needs. It’s not uncommon for our staff to go above and beyond to make residents happy, like going for a walk with a former architect to see the condos he’d designed just down the street. He rejoiced in the opportunity to share his life’s work with staff! That is just one example of how we organize our planned activities suited to resident interests. For more advanced personalized services, we can assist with such things as evening and morning routines, activities throughout the day, medication management, and more. All enjoy delicious, home-style meals made from scratch, with high-quality and fresh ingredients, in our dining area where residents gather and feast. Chaplain services are available on-site to provide warmth and comfort in times of need. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance services also ensure residents’ valuable time is always saved for what makes them happiest. Our memory care program centers the well-being of residents who may have Alzheimer’s or dementia-related needs. With memory care, we offer specially designed areas with staff members who receive consistent training and are adept caregivers, while delivering companion services, reminiscence through familiar activities, or simply greeting a resident in the morning. We’re here, for you exclusively. Living Options We offer studio and one-bedroom floor plans for residents with the option of rooming privately or with a companion. Check out our details, contact an advisor, and learn more about all we have to offer for your complete lifestyle. Care Types Offered Bickford of Presque Isle Bay is a personal care home , which in the state of Pennsylvania serves residents who do not need 24-hour nursing care, and provides food, shelter, and personal assistance to 4 or more residents.

Positivefinally the care he deserves
Most of the staff (in the secured memory care unit) were well trained in dementia and and were quite compassionate. Their communication with the family was outstanding. My father's needs were not only met, but he was afforded a dignity and respect I have found nowhere else. (We went through 3 different facilities before being blessed with the opportunity to have our father finally treated as well as he could be. Kudos to the staff. I took off .25 score due to management. The management, while good at organizing and…

PositiveWonderful care for your loved one
Overall, I would rank The Residence at Presque Isle Bay a 5/5. The inside and outside grounds are beautiful, and are decorated nicely for each holiday. It is kept very clean. The dining room is presented like a classy restaurant rather than a senior living center dining area. The food is tasty, and Mom appreciates having two choices for each meal, and the ability to have an alternative if she does not care for either of the two main options. The staff is friendly, professional, and courteous. If Mom needs something…

CriticalOur Family's Experience
Was not at all happy with the residence. There were many issues and the biggest concern is lack of communication. For example, my father fell and received a gash on his head. No call that this happened or that he was sent by ambulance to the hospital. My mother and I found out three days later when we asked why he had staples in his head.
Response from the communityKimberly - we understand this must have been frustrating to you. We are glad we were able to clear up the confusion about who to contact and how to reach them. We hope your father is now getting the higher level of care he needs at his new location.
