Description
About This Community
Opening Fall 2019
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.

Bickford of Canton is nice. I liked it a lot. I think it would be my first choice. It's family-focused and pet friendly like they don't mind visiting dogs. They have studios and apartments. They're on the smaller side, and that's partly because they encourage residents to get out. There are lots of activities. There are lots of little socialization places as well as bigger ones. There's a door to the apartment, but once you're in the apartment, there are no doors, so managing a wheelchair or going around in the wheelchair, you don't have to worry about a door. I found it weird, but at the same time, it makes sense.
They take trips into the community. They have transportation that will take you places. They'll go to the symphony or go to a local play. It kind of gives everybody a chance to get out. There are lots of activities, probably more than any of the other ones I saw. The staff were great. They were wonderful. It was clean and homey, and everybody seemed to be happy.

We looked at Bickford of Canton yesterday. It seemed very clean and very focused on the patients. Everyone there including the staff and several of the residents that we saw seemed very happy and very friendly. Everyone seemed to know each other's names. The staff that we talked to were extremely helpful. We're in a rush to move mom from the hospital, and Michelle has been excellent in getting back with us and getting someone out to the hospital on the same day to evaluate mom. The studio seemed very clean and well maintained. We went through the dining area during lunchtime and we saw how they were having restaurant-style lunch. They walked us through and explained the different activities. The outdoor space seemed pretty nice, it wasn't huge but it's secure. So you can get into it from two different doors, but you can't leave it. They also had a very small vegetable garden.

We went to Bickford of Canton The only negative we had there were the rooms were small and not well lit. My domestic partner wants a room that has light coming through the windows so he can see light and dark. The light is very important to him and the room. Unfortunately, the bigger room with the windows wasn't available, so the smaller room didn't appeal to him at all. But Michelle who is the community relations director, is just top-notch in spending time understanding his needs. She was sensitive, she was diligent, and she took great notes. She fed back information, she paid attention to everything he said. We probably should have thought a little more carefully that this was farther from his doctors and farther from family. It wasn't a good pick for us, but for anybody else, I would highly recommend it. The facility is wonderful, the dining room is beautiful, and the outdoor patio is phenomenal. It would be a wonderful place to sit and be outdoors. They serve food outdoors. They have barbecues in the summer. One of the things that he liked was there were a lot of little places, little corners where people could gather in small groups and talk, or read a book or listen to audiobooks. There were several people doing that. He liked that, it was the individual room that was a drawback for him. We saw the menus. We talked to the kitchen staff and the chef, and we talked to several people and they said the food was wonderful. We just didn't have a meal.

When we visited Bickford of Canton, the executive director met us because the marketing person was off that day; that was very nice. It was a relatively new facility, very clean, and seemed to have decent sized room. We like the size of it and the fact that it was a smaller facility because we had looked at some facilities with over 200 residents. We like the fact this one only had 40. Those were the main points that we took from it, and the pricing seemed reasonable for what you got.
The staff were all very nice. Masks were required; I think that was the main thing at the time. They had limited access too. They had to key you in and out, so visitors weren't just going to wander in; it was good.

I toured Bickford of Canton and they showed me 3 different kinds of rooms in assisted living. It's very homey and comfortable there.
Michelle was excellent, very thorough, and very talkative. She wasn't rushing and she was very involved in helping me. She seems to be able to answer the questions that I have.
The facility is brand-new, it was just built last year. That's one thing that appeals to me, the facility itself and the fact that it was started by the sons of a person who had Alzheimer's. They had her story and pictures on the walls and it just makes you feel like you're going into a home more than an institution.
I inquired about the food and they use a company for that. In the morning you can order waffles or bacon. I also like its proximity to stores and restaurants. It's very close to where I am currently living, and it would be close to my medical doctors. My emotional adjustment, I feel, would be better because I'm not leaving the community that I've lived in for about 8 years and where my daughter lives. So that would comfort me greatly, I think, in relocating.

Bickford of Canton is probably the most reasonably priced. They were a brand-new facility and the people were incredibly nice. The location is central to our family members, and they're willing to work with dietary requests. They were head and shoulders above the rest.
We didn't test the food out, but I got to talk to the main chef/cook, and talked about dietary needs. They make a lot of things from scratch, and they will do special purchases outside of their normal providers if necessary. They specifically talked about a resident that was a vegetarian, and that they went to a specific store to get some ingredients. They were more than happy to work with a keto diet and other things too.
Everybody loved what they were doing. One of the caregivers actually will do really fancy nails if that's what one of the residents are into, and they will organize bowling events, or some sort of fun thing to support everybody's interests.

I loved Bickford of Canton. It was very welcoming, clean, and spacious. The individual apartments felt very homey and nicely appointed with all the things that you would need. The person that gave me the tour was excellent. She was very informative, gave me a little history about Bickford, and explained all the different things that they do for the residents. She was very good.
I also liked that there were choices of a couple of different styles of rooms. I felt like each room had exactly what you would need for your daily living. They were nice. They had everything you would need, good storage, and they were easy to get around, especially for someone that possibly has a walker. The dining area was also very nice, spacious, and clean.
The one activity that stood out to me was crafting, which would be a big thing for my mom. She likes to do that kind of stuff, but they seem to have different things going on too that you could join in. They also play cards and games, and they had a calendar for all of that. You kind of knew what was coming and you could join in on whatever you're interested in.

Bickford of Canton was very nice, very new, quite lovely, and very quiet because they don't have that many residents there yet. The rooms were clean, modern, and nice too. It was a beautiful facility. They had a beauty salon and a nice outdoor patio area.
