Description

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 director of Bickford of Suffolk took us on a tour. The rooms were a nice size. We walked around the whole community. Some of the residents were out in the common area. They also have an Alzheimer's and dementia area that has a security system that rings whenever a person enters or exits out the area. They're in the protected side of the community. I saw the dining area. It was open. They had small tables and a bar set up. They had a calendar of events, too. They showed us a game room/movie room. They also have a van. The director was professional, very polite, and nice. The place was nice, clean, and modern. It didn't have any strange odors.

Bickford of Suffolk was outstanding, but it was pricey. Everyone seemed happy and willing to help. They did things on a schedule, and it was a locked down facility. They did an outstanding job with the recreational therapy, and there were a lot of interesting activities. The residents weren't all bunched up sitting and heavily medicated. The staff members engage their residents and they always know where they are. There was a courtyard with a beautiful garden and each room had a shower. They had a beautiful spa, music, and wellness therapy. They take them out to movies and shopping and they have popcorn all the time. They had a restaurant with fresh fruits, and their menu was outstanding. The care and the way it was laid out was amazing, and the residents seemed very content and engaging.

It is a beautiful place and most of the aides are caring however family will need to work closely with staff. We had trouble with our sister getting all of her medication. She was blind and required finger food which though we were assured could be provided it rarely was. As a memory center our family had hoped for more skilled staff that understood the more aggressive forms of dementia better. If your family member has no special needs or care this would be a lovely place.

Bickford of Suffolk is very well cared for. It has very attractive decorations and everything is very efficient. They provide three meals a day and most people go there and enjoy it. They have music presentations from local musical groups, happy hour, and they have a pop-up library. It's a square building and it has a central garden porch that's always available. They are doing all they can and they're doing very well. The facility is lovely. The staff is very eager and very supportive. This place is a little more personal and it's set up like a home with a fireplace and a piano in it. The dining room is much more formal. They have an activity room for games.

The accommodations and the way Bickford was laid out was really nice. The service they provide is nice and made you want to go there. The rooms were relatively small, and the activities and amenities were good enough for me. However, it was not open yet.
