Reviews Bickford of Gurnee
October 2024
Deciding to move a loved one from independent to assisted living is not an easy journey. Especially when up against an end-of-lease situation. Abby made things happen quickly (which we know is not the norm) and the entire team at Bickford showed compassion, respect, and caring – both to our father and to us as we made the transition. The approach that Bickford is their resident's HOME rings true in all that they do. Abby asked about dad's likes, dislikes, favorite foods, etc. All the little things that matter when making a person feel comfortable and safe. Dad is very content there, and most importantly safe and well cared for.
October 2024
Great, clean facility, with staff that cares. Being one floor is a plus as you always see residents out and about, often doing puzzles in the puzzle corner, or playing games together. I have been in a lot of assisted livings and you will see how the residents are out and about in the mornings in the courtyard! I also love that the memory care wing has its own courtyard with plants, and residents aren't just alone in their rooms all day (and are almost always together). Definitely worth a tour!
September 2024
Not having toured other facilities to compare with, I'm leaving 4 stars. But it's probably really 5! Bickford and everything it offers have been wonderful with my father. He is happy here, and I can tell because he calls me and tells me everything multiple times a day! Abby and Shirley are very caring and helpful, always answering my texts and phone calls. Abby even sends me photos of my dad when they have activities/events. This place fell into our lap at exactly the right time and I couldn't ask for a more caring and compassionate staff. Thanks for being there for my dad!

I cannot say enough nice things about this assisted living facility and their staff. From my initial inquiry to move-in day (only one week later!), my experience far exceeds my expectations. If you, a parent, or a grandparent need to considers assisted living, definitely check out Bickford. Abby and Kristie should run for President/Vice President. I'd vote for them!!

My 89 year old grandmother is suffering from Alzheimer's. She previously had full-time in-home healthcare. During a bad bout of sundowners she called the police because she thought she was in danger. Unfortunately, the officers didn't understand what was going on and they sent her to the emergency room. From there, the hospital transported her without our knowledge to a psychiatric hospital, where they then pumped her full of antipsychotics. It was the most difficult time our family has ever had. Without an appointment we stopped at Bickford of Gurnee looking for any supports or any options we might have. They could not have been more supportive and understanding of our situation. They not only helped us through everything but they sent a nurse out to see my grandmother to evaluate her and determine that she could be placed at Bickford. The day finally came where she was released and moved to her new home. Since then my grandmother has decreased her meds, she's lucid, put weight back on and has returned to her previous self. The nurses and caregivers are so patient and understanding. They're in constant communication with us, which lets our family heal from the trauma we all endured when my grandmother was wrongfully placed. Knowing where she is every day, knowing that there are people surrounding her that are understanding, compassionate, communicative and loving, allows all of us to sleep better at night. We will forever be eternally grateful to the people at Bickford. My grandmother has friends and community there. She's constantly involved in activities, which helps keep her mind sharp. My family is so grateful to be able to pop in at any time day or night. we often stop in to visit and the residents are all involved in some fun activity like birthday celebrations, arts and crafts or hitting a pinata and celebration of baseball's opening day. We cannot recommend Bickford enough. Placing your loved one in a home is one of the most difficult things you'll ever have to do. For anyone who is struggling with this very difficult transition in a loved one's life Bickford of Gurnee is a truly supportive accommodating facility to guide you throughout the transition.

I cannot say enough about the warm feeling you get when entering Bickford of Gurnee. We have been looking for the perfect home away from home for my mom and we can't wait for her to move in next week. From the very first phone call, to my first visit and everything in between, my anxiety has been put at ease. Abby is amazing and truly treats you like a family member, answering questions and caring not just for the individual moving in but also the entire family unit. Thank you Abby and we cannot wait to meet more of the Bickford family.

We moved our Mom into the Bickford, just over a week ago, and if this 1st week is any indication of what our Mom's life will be like there, we are THRILLED! She is happy, upbeat, and having so much fun! She is doing all kinds of activities, even crafts! Our Mom is not a crafter! LOL! Originally, we were going to place our Mom in another facility, but as time went on, we felt like our Mom was being treated as a patient, not a person. So we put a halted the move for several weeks. When we discovered the Bickford, we knew instantly that this was the place our Mom deserved. From the 1st consultation with Abby, we knew our Mother would be treated not only like a human being, but a family member! We love that they consider the residence our Mom's home, not a place that takes care of "old people"! The staff is very caring, the day we moved in our Mom, was tough for her! Leaving her home of over 60 years, was traumatic & the emotions were heart-rendering, to say the least. Upon entering that day, she was very teary eyed and scared! Immediately, the staff was there to greet her with hugs and encouragement! It was almost like in a movie, "cue the staff", but the caring and compassion shown her was completely genuine! She was put at ease and I know she felt seen and heard! The facility is super clean, and apartments, are spacious! The day we moved her belongings, the staff, specifically, Miguel, help to ensure the process was quick and efficient! He allowed us to use his fob to let the movers in and out until everything was completed. Once we had the personal effects in, Joe, set up her TV and showed her how to work the new remote! It was a great day! Additionally, the other residents took our Mom under their wings. I was there the other day, and you would have thought her dinner companions and she were life-long friends! The sense of community is just what our Mom needs. She's a people person and likes to have fun! She, also, enjoys the sense of independence! She can be around people if she wants, or retreat to her personal space. It's the perfect balance. My siblings and I were shocked when our Mom said she liked it after only a couple of days there, & especially after all the time it took to convince her to move! Mom's only complaint, is that sometimes it takes long for her meals to arrive, but our Mom has never had the patience of Job! LOL! That being said, the food is well portioned, plentiful and delicious. We cannot say enough good things about the Bickford! If you are considering moving your loved one here, DO NOT HESITATE, they will love it and have all the things they need to flourish! Feel free to reach out to Abby for my #, I am happy to speak with you about our experience thus far! Thank you Bickford Family, we feel such a sense of relief that Mom is safe, cared for and loved!

My mother has been at Bickford for 6 months now. Her only regret is that she didn't come here earlier. I interviewed and toured several other places, and didn't find any to be as nice as Bickford. It's smaller, 1 floor, and more like a home environment. Everyone here is very friendly, and caring. Always willing to help no matter what. They also have art classes, bingo and a beauty parlor, and much more. Even a visit from ELVIS! I knew he wasn't really gone! Bickford was a great find!
January 2024
The cozy and warm feeling you encounter when you enter this "home away from home," is truly ingratiating. Having a husband in Assisted Living/ Memory Care is a difficult decision, but Bickford was a big relief. After a couple of weeks, it was apparent this was an exceptional place, with lovely & caring staff who know each resident and their unique personality. It is impressive that the staff works at having a relationship with each resident. The food is fresh and my husband loves the desserts! I am so glad he made the move - safe, clean and king in his palace!

I am very pleased with Bickford of Gurnee. My father has dementia and we had been having a very difficult time finding a place for him. He started to wander but he really wouldn't be happy in the typical lockdown memory care facility. Enter Bickford. They have the ability to keep him safe from wondering, as they have locked assisted living. The best part, they know how to deal with dementia patients without medicating them. We had a rocky start with miscommunication, but once we were able to iron out the issues, both mine and theirs, we are all very happy.

Bickford Senior Living Gurnee continues to be an excellent choice and home for our mom. At 97, she's provided the care and support needed to continue living semi-independently which is just what she wanted. Our family was able to furnish her apartment with items from her home, bringing familiarity and comfort to mom. The management team and staff have been great to work with, (thanks Tim and Abby) providing friendly, kind, and caring support each day. Frequent activities and interactions with other residents plus tasty well-prepared meals really helps keep mom's spirits up. (Btw, we've been welcomed to join mom for lunch when we visit). After exploring numerous facilities in Lake County prior to selecting, it's clear Bickford was the right choice for mom. It was also the right choice for "US" her family as well. The facility is warm, inviting, and quiet enough to relax and enjoy our visits. And we're able to visit as often as we like.

From the time we walked in it felt homey. We met with Abby she is wonderful and will do anything to help thru these challenging times. Every time we reach out she is there for us. The staff is awesome we have met almost every single person. I had always heard so many scary stories about assisted living I was scared just to even go see one. Well it's not true at least Bickford of Gurnee. I have a fob to go whenever we want and I have been there in the morning, night,weekends and every time I go I find the staff attending to the residents . Thank you Bickford for everything you do for our loved ones.

I enjoyed meeting with the folks at the Bickford of Gurnee. The young lady I spoke with was very open and showed us around the building. I think that my mother would love living at Bickford. I felt very comfortable with the memory unit.

Had to move my loved one from another facility because of poor care. Came here and both my brother and I were impressed with the staff and they respected our concerns. Excellent communication with us. Mom is already getting better care than at the other facility.

We were looking for a place for mom. After what seemed to be endless days interviewing and touring other facilities we found Bickford Senior Living in Gurnee. I cannot begin to express my happiness of finding such a great home for mom. First off, Papin is our contact for getting very good information. She was wonderful in explaining everything from prices to “how things work” in assisted living, as this is our first time going through the process. Tim is the administrator director in charge of most things including prices. They together worked with us to make this fantastic journey happen. I cannot imagine having my mom anywhere else. If you are on the fence about where to find a place for your loved one you owe it to them to check out Bickford in Gurnee!

I have been looking for placement for my grandpa, as we are getting closer to him needing place to call home when he cant live on his own anymore.
