Bickford of Greenwood is a senior living community that offers assisted living, independent living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, and skilled nursing services, and while there isn't a lot of public information about the facility itself, there are several concrete facts worth knowing, and the community covers a mix of care levels so residents can age in place, with studio memory care rooms costing around $4,106 and community fees and extra charges for certain services. The building has both indoor and outdoor common areas for socializing, as well as wheelchair-accessible showers and full tubs, and residents benefit from maintenance-free living with housekeeping, laundry, and home maintenance handled by staff. Folks who live here get three meals a day made from scratch at the Bread Basket Scratch Kitchen, along with restaurant-style dining, room service, and options for guests, and special diets are accommodated, including gluten-free, low or no sodium, vegetarian and vegan, low or no sugar, and kosher meals. There's a pet-friendly policy, including help with feeding, walks, and litter box care, plus pet programs, so residents can have a dog or cat with them, and the staff facilitate trips and transport for shopping, activities, and medical appointments, usually for a fee. A full-time activity director organizes exercise sessions, arts, gardening, guitar music, happy hour, and more, while devotional services and spiritual care come through partnerships with MarketPlace Chaplains, and scheduled offsite services are also provided.
The memory care area is in a secure, purpose-built building with an alert system on residents' bracelets to prevent wandering and exit-seeking, and the staff are specially trained in dementia care, including how to supervise residents with aggressive behavior, physical acting out, or who are at risk for wandering. Medical support is available from an on-site nurse, a doctor on call, RNs and LPNs who stay awake 24/7, and a rotating group of health professionals including a visitation nurse, podiatrist, dentist, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, plus on-site primary care and access to hospice and respite care. The community handles diabetes management including insulin, supports those with incontinence, and can offer non-ambulatory help using lifts or one- or two-person transfers, alongside reminders for daily activities like grooming and toileting. Each resident has an individualized care plan, and the interdisciplinary care team uses an integrated health records system and the nationally recognized HigherPath senior health model to track care and help with proactive interventions. There's a strong focus on safety and monitoring, with a computerized wander alert system and outcome-focused technology to manage residents' health needs, plus routine medication management even for those who take several pills a day.
Social connections remain important, so there's a vibrant calendar of activities and outings, and the community culture is described as supportive, helpful, and friendly, with resident satisfaction rates reportedly twice the industry average. Beautician services are offered on site. Ample amenities make it a comfortable setting for seniors needing light, medium, or heavy care, and the facility helps people with increasing needs stay in the same place, whether they need assisted living, memory support, skilled care, or independent living. Residents can park on site, there is Wi-Fi throughout, and devotional and social gatherings keep folks mentally sharp and emotionally connected. The staff at Bickford of Greenwood are present around the clock to ensure safety, comfort, and a dignified lifestyle for each resident, and the community aims to deliver personalized help while allowing people to keep as much independence as possible.
