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.

We went to Bickford of Spotsylvania. They are very good. It's very clean and homey and just welcoming. It's got sofas, tables, a fireplace, puzzles, and games on the table. It has a little dining/cafeteria area. You can watch the cooks prepare your meals and make fresh bread every single day. They have a medical facility where they dispense medicine. Everybody's medicine is computerized and tells you what medicine and when and what time. They won't go to the next person until that person has had their medicine at the correct time and the right dosage. They do have a nurse and an on-call doctor. The rooms are smaller than what my mother had been used to, but they're clean, they're well-organized, and the handicapped parts are very good. And everything's made wheelchair accessible. She showed me where they have a room for arts and crafts, or places to engage people. They do it daily. They have gardening there, you can have a little plot of land, or an area out in their atrium to do gardening.

We went to Bickford of Spotsylvania. The tour was fantastic. The lady who gave us the tour did a good job. She asked a lot of questions about my father. The tour was pretty extensive. If it was based on the tour only, we would have gone with the Bickford of Spotsylvania. They were one of the top choices. The staff seemed very nice. We were there during lunchtime, and there were lots of people at different tables in the lunch area and having what sounded like good conversations with each other. They have studios, but we were looking at a one-bedroom and it was pretty much the same as the other facility. They said that they had music that came in once or twice a week. The activities seemed like they would be adequate. It's a smaller facility with fewer residents, so it would be a good place depending on what somebody is looking for.

I was very impressed with Bickford of Spotsylvania, and I'm trying to get my wife in there. They didn't try to hide anything, unlike the other places I had experience with. When I was in Bickford, they took me throughout the building. I saw people and how they interact and were treated. They seemed so much more caring than the other place where I was. The staff was very professional, very good. I didn't even have a chance to ask questions because they would already answer them before I ask them. They already seem like they knew what the questions are gonna be, and they already had the answers for them; they just seemed so great. They offered me a meal, but I already had eaten before I got there. The place looked awesome

Bickford of Spotsylvania is a beautiful and gorgeous facility, but clearly out of our price range. It looked more like a hotel to me than an assisted living because they didn't have medication carts in the hallway. You had to go up to a room to get your medicine. They just had lunch and it smelled glorious and good.

I visited Bickford of Spotsylvania, and it was absolutely gorgeous. The staff was friendly, they took me on the tour, answered my questions, and I would recommend the place. It's all on one level, so it's very appealing, it's a complete circle, the décor is absolutely beautiful, the rooms were not huge, but adequate. They had place for a sofa, a bed, and the shower and bathroom were handicap accessible. They have a beautiful courtyard with flowers, and where people can sit. It's totally secure, you cannot get in there without ringing a bell, and somebody will let you in, so it was very appealing.

We visited Bickford, it was very nice, and the staff was very friendly. She was very knowledgeable and very nice. They took the time, showed us around, and made sure that we got to see what they offered, even though what we wanted was not available. They talked to residents who allowed us to come in and take a look at their rooms. The dining area was very nice and very clean.

Bickford of Spotsylvania's residents do get a lot of help. I chose it for my husband because it's convenient for me. My husband's room has a living area with a couch, two chairs, a TV, a good-sized bedroom, a walk-in closet, a good-sized bathroom, and a little kitchenette that has a microwave, a sink, and a small refrigerator. They still need to improve since it’s very new -- less than a year old. They don't have many activities, but they have a big TV, and they sit and watch it. The place is very clean.

I loved Bickford of Spotsylvania. Their building was beautiful. They have the smallest of the rooms, but the way they have laid out the bathroom gives you a little more of your usable space. They were the only place that had the bathroom right between the sitting area and your bedroom, so you can still get to it easily from your bed even though the bathroom was not right off of the bedroom. Their staff is excellent. They just have a beautiful building; it is so nice, and my mother-in-law is actually there. The residents are always out doing activities. Every time I’ve been there, there are people mingling around; they are not just staying in their rooms. It has got a very positive atmosphere, and the staff is always smiling. They have the lowest price to get in but end up being the highest in the end. My only negative is maybe the meals. Their meals just seem so-so, like a cafeteria or what you get in a hospital. It didn’t have that restaurant taste and feel.

Bickford was convenient for me and my brother. It was a new facility. It was very nice. The people were very nice. They had a game room, puzzle rooms, and a lot of activities. They had popcorn and movies. They would be having a Hawaiian party. The staff was very helpful. They checked on him often. They served three meals a day.
