Bickford Senior Living

Understanding, personal, patient. There was some struggle with move in, but I think that had to do with the property changing hands, and requirements suddenly changing. All in all, my mother has not made this easy for anyone, and I think they have all done the best they can to get her settle down, and settled in. They could see that I was my mother's trigger, and her main focus for belligerence, so they asked me to leave. Never been more relieved in my life. They flat out said, This is what we do. Go home, sleep, eat, don't come back for a few days.

I was contacted by phone and received an invitation to tour Bickford Place and its independent living apartments that were currently available. Our hostess led us through the spacious common area that serves as a dining area. Then we were shown two apartments of differing sizes and on different levels of the building. She was very patient in letting us take our time in looking at each unit and in answering all of our questions. After touring the all of the levels, she shared an informational booklet with us, thoroughly explained pricing and very knowledgeably answered additional questions. Bickford Place is a very clean and attractive facility that houses individuals of varying needs. As one of the residents mentioned to us: It’s a very nice place to live.

The leadership team is always very helpful and open to learning about the residents. They seem very caring and receptive. They communicate with the families clearly and don't hesitate to reach out withe questions or concerns. The facility is inviting and clean. It has a "country club" vibe to it. There are many places for residents to hang out.

We had a limited experience. The staff and caregivers seemed kind and attentive. They provided many activities for residents. The food was good. Like, actually tasty and nutritious. You could tell they had a great chef on staff. Her room was nice and just the right amount of space for her, with a beautiful bay window. My great Aunt was only there for a week, though. She was 100 and passed shortly after moving in. The staff was helpful and we received refunded payments, promptly.

I’m disappointed my mom doesn’t qualify to stay in such a beautiful institution because I have been looking at places that accept Medicaid that have memory care and I have found it very sad.Bickford looks more like home and feels like a great place for her.

I love this facility! If it is within your budget I highly recommend it. The staff was lovely and the residents all sang their praises.

We were truly grateful for our time At Bickford. [name removed] and her entire staff are the definition of going above and beyond for each of the residents. It's a small facility but truly big on heart and caring, and I say that not trying to sound cliché. But as a concerned child from far away, I was always so relieved with knowing that the staff at Bickford were really looking out for my mother and her husband, the way that I would. I could not have been happier with the care that they received, the communication from the entire Bickford staff, and the individualized hands-on care that was provided to my mother and her husband every single day. I honestly cannot recommend Bickford high enough!

Fully staffed and very friendly! Great with the residents.

Visited to start our search for the pending placement of my 98 yr old Mom. [name removed] did a real nice job with information and your along with giving us food for thought as to help make best decision for Mom. We liked Bickford.

I was impressed right away by the level of activity in the main lobby/activity area. I noticed nurses or aides wandering among the residents and speaking to them, offering help if needed. The facilities were beautiful and clean. The medical services available are impressive. Overall I was very pleased with my tour and with [name removed] knowledge of the facilities and the residents. She called all of those we saw by name which I liked. If I were to give it a rating this facility deserves a 10/10.

On May 11, 2026, I visited Bickford Senior Living in Fredericksburg VA as I was researching the facility on behalf of a very hesitant parent. I was greeted by Whitney. Whitney was extremely helpful in answering all of my questions regarding the community, costs, etc. The staff was very friendly & the facility was very well maintained.

Bickford has been amazing ! The assessment for my grandmother had a personal feeling and genuine evaluation. The facility is well kept, clean, and the staff is inviting and kind. Bickford has a budget friendly approach and offers a military discount. We are excited to choose Bickford for my grandmother and are looking forward to the thriving and independence she will gain.

This is a great place. The community is very clean and welcoming. I will refer people here. The staff are very friendly and great They care for the residents like their own family. I have been in this Branch and every time I am here I feel at home. The food is amazing as well.

We were very happy with Bickford during the short time Mom was there before she passed away. The staff was always kind, compassionate, and attentive, and it gave our family comfort knowing she was being well cared for. They treated Mom with dignity and genuine care, which meant so much to us during a very difficult time. After Mom passed, they were also incredibly supportive and compassionate with me and my siblings. We truly appreciated the kindness and comfort they showed our family throughout the entire experience.

It is a well managed home with loving care. The team is very very attentive. The food was very nice. They had a nice variety of activities. The home was always very clean. I would highly recommend.

5 stars all the way for everything except the food, since I never actually ate there or saw what they offer. From my experience, though, everything else was excellent. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the place felt well-run and comfortable. Most importantly, the people there really stood out—they all seemed like genuinely good, friendly people.

My visit was excellent and very informative. The lady that explained the amenatives and conducted the tour was was very kind and understanding and so helpful.

Beautifully kept. Residents seemed contented. Saw medium sized apts. Although very small, they had windows, walk-in shower, and room enough to keep items of use close at hand.

Everything was super great with Bickford. The staff was caring and my sister felt very involved and included which made me feel good because she normally was pretty bashful so that was a huge milestone for her. She made some nice friends and felt she was communicated with thru and thru. Very happy all the way. The only complaint was when she had food delivered to her room, it was often cold, but that was the absolute only complaint.

Each room is cleaned once a week. I watched the girl "clean" my room- she needs to change the mop water. The dining and shared spaces are clean, they vacuum non stop. The staff were super friendly. I was there 2 weeks and the staff was constantly changing, they were frequently short handed. The director ([Name removed]) recently quit. It was small portions and cheap. But that's probably appropriate for most the residents. I'm 54 and was there for respite, so the meals were a 3. They keep residents busy if they want to participate. And they just hired a new activity director while I was there, and she had fun ideas. Its a small facility, so everyone knows each other - that can be a good or bad thing, depending on what kind of person you are. I saw a resident move out because he couldn't get along with another man, and its hard to avoid each other in that size facility. They all eat in the same room. There is only one lounge area with a tv, etc. BUT because the facility is small, every staff member knows everyone's name and greets them with their name every time. It showed they cared, and you weren't just another resident. They try and encourage and include the residents in all activities. They literally go door to door to check if you "want to join bingo" or if you "are coming to dinner or want a tray in your room?"
