Bickford of Bloomington is a senior living community where folks find several types of care in one place, so if someone needs independent living, assisted living, memory care, or even skilled nursing, they've got those options. The caregivers there are personal and friendly, paying attention to each resident's needs, and you'll see staff around most of the day to help out. Meals come from their own kitchen where they make food from scratch, and they serve up options for vegetarians alongside all the normal dishes, so people tend to eat well. The HigherPath senior health model is a special program of theirs-a proactive care team that works to look after safety, happiness, and health, and resident satisfaction ratings have actually come in at about twice what's normal in the industry, which tells you something about how people feel living there.
People who like keeping busy will find a full calendar of social events, along with educational and fun activities, giving residents several ways to stay active in mind and body. There's help with daily tasks for those needing assisted living, and special wellness programs if someone's got memory challenges like Alzheimer's or dementia, plus activities that keep folks mentally engaged and help prevent wandering or confusion. The community has aging-in-place features, so seniors don't need to keep moving as their care needs change, including full tubs, showers for wheelchairs, and hospice services when needed.
Residents can hang out in outdoor or indoor common areas, bring pets since it's pet-friendly, and use high-speed internet around the building. For beauty needs, a beautician visits onsite, and devotional services happen both in the building and elsewhere if people want them. There's parking for residents, and they can pay for transportation when they need to get out and about. Folks who prefer living at home can get home care too, with trained aides for non-medical help and companionship. Bickford of Bloomington is set up for people who value their independence, who enjoy joining in on activities, or who need extra support as they age, and it's part of the larger Bickford Senior Living, well-known for its HigherPath health system and proactive care.
