Thankful.

Understanding, personal, patient. There was some struggle with move in, but I think that had to do with the property changing hands, and requirements suddenly changing. All in all, my mother has not made this easy for anyone, and I think they have all done the best they can to get her settle down, and settled in. They could see that I was my mother's trigger, and her main focus for belligerence, so they asked me to leave. Never been more relieved in my life. They flat out said, This is what we do. Go home, sleep, eat, don't come back for a few days.

We couldn't get in the front door. Someone finally came and opened the door. While we waited for the host we noticed a chair in the lobby was badly stained and the carpet also appeared stained. We went to a small conference room. The furniture was worn. There was a tray of glasses and coffee cups but we weren't offered any. We went by the dining room, asked for a menu. It was okay. The residents seemed very quiet, most did not speak to us, and most were not smiling. The apartment was big...large bedrooms, but it was worn, scratched up. My husband has had several falls, one of the reasons we're looking at assisted living. If we didn't pay for extra care, they can't come in and help get him up. There Is no designated activity room so activities seemed limited. The price is comparable to another place we visited.

I was contacted by phone and received an invitation to tour Bickford Place and its independent living apartments that were currently available. Our hostess led us through the spacious common area that serves as a dining area. Then we were shown two apartments of differing sizes and on different levels of the building. She was very patient in letting us take our time in looking at each unit and in answering all of our questions. After touring the all of the levels, she shared an informational booklet with us, thoroughly explained pricing and very knowledgeably answered additional questions. Bickford Place is a very clean and attractive facility that houses individuals of varying needs. As one of the residents mentioned to us: It’s a very nice place to live.

We first met with Makenna on a Tuesday to discuss moving my sister there. Then we returned on Wednesday with my sister and went through the whole tour again. My sister also was evaluated at that time. The facility is older than the others we toured, but it was very clean and roomy. The dining room is a beautiful place with the high ceiling and skylights. All of the staff we met were very friendly.

Bickford is older, and perhaps slightly more worn than most of the places I've looked at, but what they call apartments, are actually small apartments with separate rooms. I find that very appealing, in that it feels more like a complete home within the apartment. And, there is a possibility that I will be able to secure a bathtub for my mother within the facility. The only one that I found so far, and it is an important detail for her. Everyone that I spoke with there was very friendly and informative. and because they do not separate senior living, assisted living and memory Care, it seems to me that it will be a better overall environment for my mother who is slipping into substantial memory problems, because she will be provided a greater opportunity to interact with other people at varying levels. Overall, I was very impressed with Bickford.

Overall nice community

The staff was very helpful when I went to speak to them, when looking for a place for our Father. It's small enough that he gets the help that he needs and its more of a community setting opposed to a large facility for the elderly. The food is usually top tier with eggs, oatmeal, sausage for breakfast. They have activities such as bingo, church, holiday gatherings and other activities. The respond when staff are not doing their jobs to help the residents. For the most part, and overall we a e e grateful for Bickford.

I was very disappointed

I was not happy with the faculty when my mom first got there they get her laundry and she never got her clothes back and I went and spent over $[name removed] for brand new clothes for her and they did not find her clothes or try to find them to be honest with you then when I came in there one day, my mom must've tried to use the bathroom and she had poop everywhere all over her face her hands her body nobody was there to clean her up and for the CNA's, there was one very nice CNA But the other ones nobody came to check on her for 23 hours at a time and all she did was stay in her room she never bothered nobody or anything. I believe Bickford it's only out for the money. I don't feel we got the quality that we were told we would get especially when we told them that my mom could not take care of herself anymore and they told me that it was no problem that they would take care of her instead my dad went there at 8 o'clock in the morning and sat there till four or five at night when I got off work just to make sure she was taken care of properly.

Bickford of Bourbonnais review

I found the staff to be indifferent for the most part. When moving my wife out, I found a set of her soiled sheets stuffed in the back of her closet. My wife was not physically capable of doing this. Once, I arrived when lunch was being served. My wife was confined to a wheelchair. Her breakfast was on the counter in her room without any silverware. She was unable to eat her breakfast and she was unable to get to the dining room alone, and they had forgotten to come for her. Had I not shown up who knows when she might have eaten? There was little in the way of activities. I contracted to pay <fee removed> a month. I kept my wife there for three months and paid in full. They continue to bill me for an additional [fee removed] without explanation.

A good choice!

I really like the facility, the nurses are just wonderful, the staff ate very good. Y only criticism is the CNAs don't seem to keep any schedule of what to do for the residents...emptying garbage, changing clothes, bath days, etc. I'd like the CBAs do a better job. But, we are very pleased overall.

Our Experience

I am not sure I would recommend the facility. It is hard to say. It is ran by a bunch of young people that don't seem to have a care in the world. It takes forever to get responses back when you leave messages or text them. They do take a long time to tend to my mom, depending on who is on staff. Some of the staff are mean and are making my mom sick because she is so nervous. Others are nice. The room she moved into was so dirty. The bathroom floor seems to have never been mopped properly. So, housekeeping is not so good. It seems only 1 person in entire building knows how to un clog a toilet. You have to wait hours or days for someone to come and do that. It is the maintenance man. And he only works during the day/week. They use a swifter to clean. Not sure if they have ever wiped the counters off. If my mom was not alert she would probably get no care. I am sure that this happens every where. It is just sad that you pay this kind of money and the smallest things can't be done. The nurse can't turn the heat down or humidifier on. That is not her job. The cna doesn't know how to plug a cord in, you have to call maintenance. I could go on and on.

Don't waste your time

My loved one is currently a resident at Bickford of Bourbonnais. This facility is sub-standard. Communication with family is poor. The housekeeping needs improvement. The staff are often hard to reach by phone. They have hidden costs which they do not reveal to you up front. They quoted me my loved one's monthly rate and when I told them that I couldn't afford that amount, they lowered the price by about $[removed] per month. However, the second month I was billed $[removed] more than the monthly price that they originally quoted me that I told them I could not afford. I've been fighting with them over the cost ever since. They also fail to keep doctors appointments or they show up late. I would not recommend Bickford of Bourbonnais to others. In fact, I'm in the process of moving my loved one to another location.

Highly recommended

The facility is very clean and well maintained. The staff and residents are quite friendly. Friends and outside medical personnel I have talked with speak highly of Bickford of Bourbonnais. The apartment size is actually larger than my mom needs. My mom has pretty late-stage dementia and doesn't receive much in terms of memory care. Most of the attention she receives is centered on her comfort and safety.

I toured Bickford of Bourbonnais and I loved it. Because of my brother's walking and his dementia changing, they would not have been able to keep him. I know people and family members who have lived at Bickford, it's like a 5-star hotel! The staff were very friendly and I could tell that it wasn't a put-on.

You won't feel guilty about moving your loved one here

We had a crisis situation that necessitated making some quick decisions for my mother. The folks at Bickford really work with you and help to put together a plan that fits your loved one's needs. They continue to follow-up and and ask for input to assist them in making any improvements. They adjust the resident care plan as needed. They offer daily activities and fun events to keep the residents active and enjoying life. They encourage family members of Bickford residents to participate in activities and offer services to help families stay in touch. They also offer a good variety of menu choices. We are so grateful for how everything came together. Such a blessing!

Poor communication from nursing director

The outward appearance of the facility is lovely and "home like". The directors were very happy and helpful during the "sell". After a few months attention and care has weaned. Communication re. our parents health with the Director of Nursing is rare, dismissing and rude. Questions and concerns are arising daily with/by our parent regarding care with no answers by the director to ease the worry. The working staff has been kind and helpful. The activity director is wonderful, patient and encouraging to the residents.

A recommended place for those that can afford it.

This is a good community for great care. The staff is friendly and helpful. The meals have good variety and are tasty. They have a structured activities that are encouraged and I like that they keep him involved with the other residents. They offer individualized levels of care. I would highly recommend this community to other families, but realize this on the costly end of the assisted living spectrum.

Taking Good Care of My Mother in Law

My mother in law is still adjusting with her move to this community. The most important thing is that they are taking very good care of her, and her needs. They have a really good staff at this community. They do a good job with keeping the community, and her room well maintained. She is receiving good care, and we are satisfied with all they have done for us. This is a community I would recommend, it is a nice place.
