Bickford of Rockford sits on landscaped, tree-lined grounds, and it's part of the Bickford Senior Living family, which has over 30 years of senior care experience and gives each place its own name, like Bickford of Rockford. The caregivers stay friendly and close by, always looking out for residents with a focus on happiness and health, and folks mention that ratings for resident happiness are about double what you see elsewhere. Meals come scratch-made and taste good, with vegetarian options, and there's always a full calendar of activities, both onsite like games or educational events, and offsite outings to nearby spots that interest people, since everyone needs something to look forward to. Some seniors pick independent living here, which means healthy retirees can enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle, socialize, and take part in scheduled activities, and others need a bit more help, so assisted living services include dining, health monitoring, and support with daily tasks in comfortable, well-furnished spaces.
Bickford of Rockford also runs special programs for memory care, so if someone has Alzheimer's or dementia, there's staff and personalized help set up for their needs, and there's skilled nursing available for those who need higher-level care. The care model, called HigherPath, is known nation-wide and means a team works together to keep people well and happy, aiming for residents to live longer, healthier lives with a safety net approach, and both hospice care and respite care are available. You'll find accessible features like wheelchair-friendly showers, full tubs, and aging in place options, so seniors can stay as their needs change. There's complimentary and paid transportation for errands or doctors' visits, an onsite beautician, devotional services, parking for residents, common areas inside and out for relaxing or meeting friends, and activities arranged by staff who go out of their way to make sure there's always something going on that brings purpose and joy. Bickford of Rockford offers both independent and assisted living, plus memory care and skilled nursing, and the staff aims to provide care that families would want for their own loved ones.
