Overall would recommend

He had a bad experience with first roommate. A few hiccups along the way. I believe they could some more help. They weren't using call lights. He fell and went to the hospital and needs more care than he can get at Bickford at this time. Overall, I would use their facility again.

Limited experience

I did not interact with staff. Just the intake person. Who is basically selling me the room and services. It appeared clean. In the areas I was in. He never actually moved in, he was placed on hospice care 2 days later. "Most places I have found what they sell and what you actually get are far apart." That was a quote from my cousin.

Review for Bickford of Peoria

We feel Bickford is a lovely memory care facility. Our mom has been there for 6 weeks. She calls it her home now. When we have had concerns they have been addressed in a timely manor. We have recommended to others.

Nice clean place.

The only thing we really don't like is the lack of communication. There is very little communication about how our loved one is doing. We do not get any information, not even when there is a concern or doctor visit. Very clean place. And staff is friendly.

Would not recommend

We never got to move in. Paid [price removed], and then communication from them stopped. Could never get a move in date or contract. Director would not respond. Filed a complaint with the company and they said I would be refunded. It's been almost a year and I'm still waiting. They say they will get back to me and go months without communication again. Filed another complaint recently and was assured they will refund my money and it was marked urgent. That's was 2 weeks ago and haven't received it yet. Been fighting with them on this for almost a year now. The lack of communication there is the worse I've ever seen.

Quality care

The staff is very accommodating and kind although the facility is a little older I feel like the quality of the people in the building is most important. Our father had a very logistically challenging transfer, and Bickford helped us every step of the way.

The only real problem is the food. They are working on it, but it varies. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. all else is great. I would recommend but I think there is a waiting list right now

My tour started a little late due to conversations. However, I enjoyed the facility and all of its unexpected amenities. The ambiance was excellent. It was a bit hard to visualize my furniture placement when there was no vacant apartment available to view. This was a pet-friendly facility, but not convenient for taking a dog outside. Good tour.

Bickford of Peoria

When he first moved there it was good but they made us have someone with him 24 hours. That means paying CNA's in addition to Bickford rent! Anyone who moves must be totally independent. They should not have accepted my brother in the first place.

Unassisted living -a disappointing family journey

Staff is overworked and unqualified. The food is horrible and the way the staff complains openly and just sits on their phones is unforgivable. My dad can't see without his glasses. They had 2 pairs in the nursing station as his memory was failing but no one checked to see if he had them. Even after we asked. Horrible. They did go like 10 days without an elevator which means no one on the second floor could leave their room. Not safe

Review for Bickford of Peoria

The strengths of the Bickford is the charming atmosphere, the friendliness of the care staff, the variety and abundance of activities. The weaknesses are the food if you are on a special diet and the care if you are living in the Assisted Living area and require a higher level of care. We experienced delays in response when my mom used her emergency button on a few occasions and her advanced care was poorly handled.

Do not recommend Bickford of Peoria

Have no experience with the rest as we were ghosted and never got to move her in despite paying for the first month... Administration is unresponsive. Emails have gone completely ignored. They were responsive up until they took my money, and then they went silent. To this day forms that should have been signed by them on [date removed] are still unsigned. I did my part and they....just didn't do theirs. Also they have [amount removed] of my money and we never got to move her in, and the director has ignored emails requesting it back. They actually had the nerve to try and bill me for another month when she never was admitted in the first place.

Caring & Attentive Staff

The staff is amazing and very involved in making it a happy and enjoyable experience. Nursing staff very attentive The food was okay, nothing fancy but the staff worked hard to find something you liked. Not a fan of administrative staff. They just want your money and then tough to reach after they get it.

Tips for evaluating your community options.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Illinois’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Illinois’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
