My mother has lived at Bickford since Oct 2021. There has been a great shortage of health care workers across the country, and Bickford has also suffered from staffing issues. However, I've found the people who work there to be kind and caring, despite the hardships of being short staffed. My mom enjoys living there. Before discounting Bickford because of low reviews, I would suggest paying them a visit.

The low reviews are for Bickford of Peoria Memory Care NOT for Bickford House. Bickford of Peoria Memory Care is located at 2000 W Willow Knolls Dr Peoria, IL 61614. Different management teams are located at each facility. Bickford House is an elegant facility meticulously kept and upgraded. Residents enjoy order from the menu sit down meals that are all prepared fresh and on site by their own chef and staff. Apartment rent includes meals, weekly laundry, utilities, emergency neck worn button and bathroom and bedroom pull cords, satellite TV, etc. Apartments are equipped with kitchens with full sized stove, refrigerator, countertops and cupboards. Walk in showers. A level of care determines what services are needed for each resident. A constant flow of provided activities are included, there is a library, family meeting room, the GREAT room, elevator to navigate the 3 floors. Residents are encouraged to make their apartment their own, hanging pictures on walls, bringing their familiar furniture and furnishings. Maintenance includes 2 men on site that immediately respond to the smallest need. Jori, the facility director is not only extremely personable but also thorough with follow through even to details. Cost is below the average in Peoria. Assistance is provided in applying for benefits, insurance, etc. On top of all this Bickford House is pet friendly!!!

It's one of the nicest, secure and clean place I've visited in Peoria. The staff is also nice and helpful. It's definitely worth checking out.

Met and exceeded our expectations. This is definitely at the top of our list as a home for our father. We were greeted as family upon arrival and it just continued from there. Bickford had everything our father needed to feel independent and safe.

Everything is going pretty well for my brother here. The staff is great; they’re friendly and knowledgeable. They seem to be taking good care of him. We go down to visit and he is always dressed and showered. The director, [Removed], has been really good with him. [Removed]visits my brother a lot, only my husband and I visit from time to time so my brother doesn’t get a lot of company, so he enjoys it when others engage with him. She is also very accessible, even through text message; she is there almost 24 hours I don’t think she ever leaves. They are very attentive to folks. He likes the food, which was the first hurdle because he’s a picky eater. They make it by scratch and they can make somethings on request. There is also don’t pressure us with moving him to permanent living. There is no signing a contract only a 30 days’ notice which I like. I really can’t say a bad thing about this place.
