Bickford of Lincoln is a small, licensed senior living community with 37 beds, which helps people feel less lost and more at home, and it stands out for its friendly staff and clean, cheerful spaces. The community supports assisted living, memory care, and independent living-so whether someone needs full-time help or just a little support, they'll find what they need here, and caregivers help with bathing, dressing, and managing medicines. They have specialized memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, using custom plans, snoezelen sensory activities, light therapy, and reminiscence programming to help each resident. Residents can age in place-meaning they don't need to move if their needs change-and the staff also provides respite and hospice services. The HigherPath senior health model guides care here, focusing on proactive well-being, and they have a safety net team ready at all hours.
People who live at Bickford of Lincoln enjoy fresh, homemade meals prepared by a chef, with restaurant-style dining, special diets like low-sodium or vegetarian, and even guest meals and anytime dining, plus cozy dining rooms for private occasions. There's a full calendar of on-site and off-site activities, clubs, and events, as well as social, educational, and entertaining programs-everything from arts and crafts in a dedicated center, game room fun, piano music, and movies in the TV lounge, to time in the outside patio garden or enclosed courtyard. Residents can get help with laundry, dry cleaning, and housekeeping, and there's parking for residents and free parking for guests along with transportation available at a cost. The building offers fireplaces in common areas, a friendly cafe and bistro, a beauty salon with an onsite beautician, good Wi-Fi, and even has pet-friendly features and handicap access. Regular devotional services happen both at the community and offsite, and there's a visiting chaplain for spiritual support. The community's staff receive special training for caring for people with dementia, and they offer extra help with personal records, counseling support, and document needs.
People here seem happy and their happiness ratings are far above what you'd see most places, and families often comment that the care is truly personalized and the environment feels like home, which really helps make a transition into senior living smooth. There are no age restrictions and the campus is set up with both indoor and outdoor spaces for relaxing and visiting. The whole place focuses on comfort, safety, and an engaging life for seniors, whether they're living independently or need daily assistance.
