About This Community

We began our quest into senior living because of our love for our beloved mother, Mary Bickford, whose needs became too great for us to manage. As we researched senior living options, we were shocked at our findings. The options offered too much or too little – none met her needs and nothing felt like home. Since we couldn’t find what we wanted, we decided to create what we needed. Our main desire was to create a place that helped her achieve an equivalent peace and happiness that she had earlier in her life.

We understand that selecting a senior living community for your loved one is one of the toughest decisions that you will ever face. We will work with you to ensure that the transition is as easy and comfortable as possible. Whether your loved one is at home, in the hospital or even in another state, we can work with your hospital, insurance company, and doctor to make your difficult decision easier on you and your family. Aging can be difficult – but we’ve also seen the beauty in aging. Our mother’s happiness inspired us. We created Bickford for her and now we’re devoted to serving yours. We look forward to meeting you soon.

The staff at Bickford of Aurora was very friendly. When I was there I saw residents involved in the activities, and their activities looked like something that I would enjoy. The staff was great and they even gave me recommendations of other places I could go and see. They only had a one-bedroom, but I needed a two-bedroom. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, and the food was really good. They had buses to take people out shopping to the Pumpkin Patch. It was before Christmas and they went and saw the lights. It was really nice. I wanted my parents to go there except they only had one-bedroom apartments. The building was brand new and it seemed to have a very large social area where people could watch TV and socialize. There were always people mingling around. It made the place seem kind of like a home.

I can't say enough good things about Bickford of Aurora. They're not open yet, but it's wonderful in every way, shape or form. It's small enough that my mother won't get lost in the crowd. There is an abundance of personnel who are all extremely helpful. They have their own chef, who makes everything. We had lunch together, and it was unbelievable, restaurant-quality food. I would give them 5 stars right off the bat. They do puzzles and many different types of crafts, play board games, have someone who comes in to help women and men make jewelry, and do a lot of activities, like charades and other tabletop games where you're face to face with other people and get to know your neighbors.

Bickford of Aurora was very new, nice, and very clean. The woman who took us around was very nice. The facility was great, and my brother-in-law was impressed. The dining area was fine. There were some people sitting watching television. They had a memory care unit, too.

I really liked Bickford of Aurora and they're brand new. The whole Bickford philosophy is very compelling. The family built the business around a daughter who had Alzheimer's and there's a good feel to that. Some of the grandsons are even still involved in running the business. I like that it's all on one level and it's in a U-shape so if a person wanders, they can't really get lost. It's really quite nice and goes around an atrium, which is lovely. The facility is beautiful, meticulous, comfortable, and warm.
