Bickford of Middletown

Bickford of Middletown sits in Franklin, Ohio, surrounded by nice views of Ohio farmland, and the staff there have over 30 years of experience helping families. The building, which opened in 2009, offers 151 assisted living units, including private apartments with many closets and some with washers and dryers, and you'll also find wide doors for wheelchair access, walk-in showers, and ADA-compliant bathrooms, so it works well for people needing mobility help. People can pick from assisted living, independent living, and a specialty Memory Care program for those who need support with Alzheimer's or dementia, and each person gets a personalized care plan through their nationally recognized HigherPath senior health model, which means a proactive care team looks after safety and well-being. There are caregivers awake 24/7 ready to help with things like toileting, bathing, grooming, dressing, feeding by spoon, and getting around; they'll also help with money management, medication management and administration, and even therapy and pharmacy services on site, and folks with low mobility get extra care. Physical therapy, exercise and wellness programs, a social activity calendar, and transportation using a dedicated van to medical appointments, stores, or church make day-to-day life easier. Residents eat three chef-inspired, scratch-made meals each day, including special diets if needed, in a large, brightly lit dining hall, and cleaning is taken care of, with personal laundry, linens, housekeeping, and all maintenance and utilities included. There's a theater room, large balconies, an outdoor patio, walking trails, paths, porch areas, a library, salon and spa services, arts & crafts, access to computers, living room areas for gatherings, and spaces for music and other group activities, so people can stay busy and connect with friends. The building has emergency pull cords, wide, well-lit common areas, and a secure memory care environment with features to stop wandering and reduce confusion, and staff create a caring and joyful atmosphere. Residents get support to be as independent as possible, and the community boasts resident happiness ratings twice the industry average, all while staying close to Middletown-Kettering Health Network Hospital, Atrium Medical Center, and an adjacent YMCA and church. This family-owned, continuing care retirement community provides everything from independent living to assisted living and nursing home care, with all services focused on purposeful, compassionate caregiving and supporting each person's autonomy and comfort.
