Reviews Bickford of Aurora
July 2026
I have had a great experience with Bickford Aurora so far. This was a tough decision to make, but Katie and the rest of the staff have made me feel at ease. I know they are looking out for my parents when I can't be there.

Great place.

From the moment you walk into Bickford of Aurora, you're greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere that truly feels like home. The building is beautiful, comfortable, and inviting, making residents and visitors feel at ease. The staff are incredibly caring, compassionate, and attentive. They take the time to get to know each resident and treat them with kindness, dignity, and respect. As an outside hospice nurse, I've had the opportunity to work alongside many of the caregivers, and I'm consistently impressed by their professionalism and genuine concern for the people they care for. The care provided in the Mary B's Memory Care unit is exceptional. The team is patient, skilled, and dedicated to creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment for residents living with memory loss. It's evident that they truly care about each person's well-being and quality of life. I have great confidence in the care provided at Bickford of Aurora and would not hesitate to recommend this community to families looking for compassionate memory care for their loved one.
July 2026
My father in law had dementia and it was time to find somewhere close to home that would give him the best care. After a lot of searching, Bickford of Aurora was the best choice for our family. My father in law was well cared for all the way to the very end of his life. The staff was all so wonderful. Each and every staff member not only knew my mother in law that was there daily, but knew the rest of us that came often, but not as often as my mother in law. The evening my father in law passed away, you could see how shattered the staff was. The compassion that they showed our family through my father in law’s time at Bickford carried through until the very end. Staff even came to the wake and continue to check in on our family even to this day. When you become a part of Bickford, you just don’t become a patient, you become a part of their family that each staff member truly cares about and that is extended to the family of the resident. We are forever grateful for everything Bickford.
July 2026
Bickford of Aurora has been the best decision for my family. The staff is loving, supportive and caring. Our loved one's needs are met in a timely manner and the facility is always clean and welcoming. I highly recommend them.
July 2026
My dad has been a resident at Bickford of Aurora for about 2 months and my family is very pleased with his care in assisted living. We originally toured three years ago when my dad was diagnosed w dementia symptoms. We have Katie to thank for her outreach and patience for the timely caring way he was able to be admitted when he was no longer able to stay at home.
July 2026
My mom is currently residing at Bickford of Aurora for a respite stay while she receives chemotherapy. She has been there for about 3 weeks now and has settled into a good routine. We love the homey feel of the place with several areas to gather with visitors, the beautiful courtyard that residents can access at anytime and the friendly staff. My mom especially enjoys her aides, Jamie the activities director, and the delicious and healthy food she has been eating. No place is ever perfect, but from our experience, the majority of the Bickford staff has gone above and beyond to assist my mom whenever needed.
July 2026
Making a decision to move your loved one to an assisted living facility is not an easy fear. Katie helped immensely and was so attentive to our needs. The CNAs, caregivers, and nurses are always so friendly. Moving my mom there was a great decision.
June 2026
In August of 2025, we began a search for an Assisted Living arrangement for our Father. After looking at several locations, we decided we liked the homey atmosphere of Bickford of Aurora. At first, Dad was not as convinced. So we waited hoping he'd decide this was best for him. Unfortunately due to a turn in his abilities in October of 2025, we had no choice but to move him from a rehab facility to Assisted Living at Bickford. The staff at Bickford was fabulous! Helping us to make him as comfortable and as able as possible. Working with us and him to get his medications adjusted properly. Dad's condition started to deteriorate further and we moved him to Mary B's memory care unit at Bickford of Aurora. Here again, he received the utmost care and concern. Dad passed peacefully in their kind care. Near the end, we added hospice care but Bickford's staff was still very involved with his care. They held his hand and ours during this time. He stayed engaged with his Mary B's community right up till the last. Everyone at Bickford of Aurora was fabulous the whole time Dad was with them. Home healthcare was not an option for him but Bickford's staff provided everything he needed to make him feel at home. And while they were taking care of him, they took care of us too. Communication from staff on every level was shared often to help to ease our worries and make us glad for choosing Bickford. I can't imagine a better place for him! Or us!!
February 2026
From Sept 2024-Nov2025... Roughly charged 83,000 and some change. Fee was raised twice during stay. When asked for doctor documents for reasoning of increase, email was ignored and never responded to. They're business model reminds me of the Movie " I Care... A Lot. Staff seemed nice and caring, although repeatedly took soda, and snacks from mother's room. Mom was kind enough not to complain. But seems inappropriate for staff to consider that was ok. The 55.00 hair salon fee also seems to be a little excessive. Fact that we had to take my Mom shopping on a regular basis, when they assured us they take guests out to do so, rarely happens. To the extent of my mother reaching out to me for Toilet paper. And received email on the problem of garbage bags for rooms that we had to provide. It was sad to visit and see guest basically wheeled out to sit in front of T.V. left there. So at these prices I would definitely check into in home care. It could save you thousands per month My Mom is much happier now that she's at home with family. Yes there are some difficulties in doing so. But a little sacrifice goes a long way, when it comes to family. Don't let these people con you. As with any business they're there for one reason... Profitablity, and man is business good.
November 2025
We moved our folks in January 2025 and moved them out September 2025. Please know that what we were promised upon moving in does not happen and wonder if it’s even currently possible in today’s health care environment. The aids are a revolving door as they are not valued, so difficult to establish any stability day to day. Health care in general is understaffed everywhere we have come to find out. When you are paying top dollar out of your pocket to be there it’s somewhat disheartening. If 1 of the aids calls out, the others are left to pick up slack and they are already stretched thin.. but the patients best not complain, it’s just the way it is we were told. (We are finding having our folks at home with caregivers is much better for my parents and the care is one on one vs. 1-3 caregivers for 60+ people.) The management is tone deaf, does not listen and is always right. Term limits may be suggested here for key management roles as after too much time in one space, people become desensitized and it shows. It’s mind boggling to us there are no challenging reviews posted? Most reviews are from a year ago? Which is a shame honestly as it’s not a realistic picture. We were told the reviews that are not glowing are deleted somehow by the management? This may be the right scenario for some people, but it was not good for our family. Please make sure to not leave your loved one anywhere without regularly checking in on them and/or ensure they have an advocate. I could say so much more but just hoping that this may help some who are new to this whole situation as we were. We learned a lot and wish you all the best.

The moment we walked and met Katie we knew this was the right place for my dad. She never tried to sway us one way or another on any decision just to make a sale but instead wanted what was best for my dad. 5 months in, this is still the case. We text or talk multiple times a week with the staff. They care not only how to make things the best experience possible, but also how we can make it the most affordable possible. Could not recommend Bickford of Aurora enough!
February 2024

Wonderful facility and fantastic staff! Your loved ones will be compassionately cared for!
February 2024
I am so grateful to The Bickford for the loving care my sister is receiving as a resident of Mary B’s. Each and every employee takes the time to care for her, make sure she was comfortable and happy. Alzheimer's is a very difficult disease for a family to witness. When we are not with my sister, we know she is in good hands. In addition, the facility itself is beautiful and clean, with a warm welcome feeling for all who live there and visit.
February 2024
The sales person, Katie was so informative and had an upbeat great attitude. WOW! I wish all of my interactions in life were this amazing. Still deciding on places since it’s a little far from our home for visits but what a great experience. Bickford, you know how to treat people that are in need.

Bickford is a beautiful, welcoming facility. The staff is so helpful in providing help to family for whatever needs they have.
February 2024
Sending a family member to assisted living is a decision that impacts the entire family. In March 2023 we took that tough next step and selected Bickford of Aurora for our loved one. Katie’s compassion and guidance during the transition from home to assisted living helped alleviate our fear of the unknown. Bridget, Katie and Bonnie (administrative team) have been supportive and attentive throughout this journey. The facility offers fun daily activities that promote social interactions and cognitive stimulation. I am grateful for the friendly staff who truly care about my Bickford family member.
February 2024
Beautiful place, very clean and the friendliest staff.

Mom has been at Bickford since late 2021, first in assisted living, and now in Mary B's. It is a challenge to navigate care for a family member with dementia, but Bickford has been the best choice we have made. Getting to know mom, they saw things that we did not always, and when it was time to move to Mary B's, they were so helpful and made us feel this would be best for mom. And it has! She is so happy. They are always doing something that engages mom in activities she enjoys. With consistent and dedicated staff, we know that mom is thriving and enjoys her life. Thank you Bickford of Aurora!

Bickford of Aurora is a wonderful place for my parents. Both of them (and their dog!) are very well cared for. Navigating their care was a new and challenging thing for our family, and the staff at Bickford helped put our mind at ease. They are happy and safe (and well feed) - excellent chefs too!

When we started looking for assisted living for my mom we decided on Bickford in Aurora. We worked with Katie and she made the process effortless, which is not an easy task!
