Review for Bickford of Battle Creek
I have mixed feelings about it but I think we're going to work out the kinks. Communication needs work.I picked it because it's fully staffed and close to my house

Review for Bickford of Battle Creek
The other communities would take one or the other or neither. would say that the biggest issue is finding good quality workers. Better quality food. The people who work there and are great workers are spread way to thin. Individuals doing 2 and 3 jobs at a time. I do like the people, they are doing their best. Just not enough of them.

Satisfied Family Member
The staff have been extremely friendly and helpful. Some of the staff sat in the apartment with our family as my dad was passing away which showed how much they cared for my parents. Some have found out what my mom likes and bring it to her (flowers, candy, hugs, etc). They will randomly come and check in on her to make sure she is doing okay even without her pulling her cord. They have enough activities for the residents to participate in.

Great Place, Would Recommend
Go here, don't even look at the other places! This is the the best place. My loved one liked it here. If you got to be somewhere, this is the one to be in. They clean once a week. The staff did great handling the medications. The only issues we had was my loved one needed help shaving or trimming his finger nails. Those things just were not doing them. Personal hygiene help was not the best. I think the staff need trained to provide some personal hygiene care like finger nail trimming and beard trimming. I had to pay the beautician to provide these items versus the care givers.

Community Tour
I thought Bickford of Battle Creek was nice. It felt very homey. It’s a little bit of an older facility, but very well kept up. We toured assisted living and memory care. Their memory care rooms are much smaller than another place we looked at, and they don’t have very many rooms in memory care. They definitely had more rooms in assisted living. The staff I met were nice. [name removed], the gal who took us around, was wonderful. She did a lot of follow-up but was not overly pushy. She was just very sweet. She even made a little gift for my mom and I after our visit, a certificate of encouragement, which was a nice touch. In the end, Bickford was a little pricey, and my mom just wanted to be in a different location closer to another family member.

Very comfortable but technology issues need updated
Bickford is a very intimate and friendly environment that feels like home. They have staffing issues and technology issues such as external door key access not working, as well as fall alert device issues. We would have to wait to be let out and let in even with the key fob, it would not work most of the time. Overall they have an excellent relationship with hospice, were very accommodating on resident needs as their health declined.

The Place is in Staff Transition
I think they are going through a transition. The Director was changed, then COVID, and staff was a problem for them. I'm not sure if every community had staffing issues during this time. I'm rating them, but I don't have anything to rate them against. They are really an assisted living community, and my loved one needed full care. There were some staff that were really good, and some that were there that weren't as good as others. The new Director has been there for three weeks. It was a clean place. They allowed two people to go in for hospice residents. I don't think it meet the care, I was expecting for my loved one.

Excellent handling of transitioning
My mom started out in assisted living but it was quickly obvious she needed memory care. [Name removed] and [name removed] were exceptionally kind and professional making the transition. They moved her furniture and belongings while my mom and I visited. The staff in [name removed]'s is amazing. They are gentle and caring with my mom, helping her as needed and including her in activities. We are very happy with Bickford of Battle Creek!

We continue to be impressed with Bickford and it's entire staff! The facility is very clean and always decorated beautifully. Mom is so well taken care of, and always involved in activities. Often the director or RN at Bickford send me pictures of mom via text, as she is painting, singing or cooking with Chef [name removed] . Can't express my relief when I see her engaging in activities with her fellow residents! We have peace of mind knowing she's not sitting in her wheelchair alone, isolated and staring off in the distance. Thank you Bickford of Battle Creek!

Home cooked meals and attentive staff
I toured here with my mom and from what I saw, they seemed okay. They had home cooked meals (which looked good) and the staff was attentive. I noticed that they didn’t have an activity area though so it didn’t have a bunch of games or puzzles for people to work on and that was a concern because we’ve been wanting to try and keep my Dad as active as he’ll let us. In the end, mom and I decided that they were more about getting people in than actually caring for them. The people we were talking to felt more like salesmen than caregivers.

The staff is very friendly. They seem knowledgeable, specifically in the ability and nuances of how to treat people with dementia. Their concern with tailoring a schedule specific to the person and their needs seems to be their directive, which is outstanding. They actually deserve a 4.5 rating from my tour impressions.

Great facility for those with memory challenges.
When it became apparent that our sister required care beyond what we were able to provide, we began an intensive search for a facility that would meet her needs both physically and mentally. Now, some six months after her residency first began, we could not be more pleased with the outcome of her placement. Every time that we go to visit her, we come away with the feeling that she is in the best place that she can be in for her health, wellbeing, and protection. The staff is friendly, caring, and very observant of her needs. She also has adjusted very favorably to the changes and, while dementia does not get better, it does seem to have reached a plateau where there is a degree of comfort within her confusion. Great job Bickford of Battle Creek!!!!

My mother is doing well since she made the move to the Bickford. She seems very happy. The staff helped her get comfortable. From what I've seen, I haven't noticed anything that needs much improvement. The food is very good. We really like the constant care from the whole staff up to the managers. The staff overall is excellent. The upkeeping of the community is great. My mother has gone on a couple of trips to the mall and other outings. We are very happy with this community.

Assisted living that really helps.
After touring several other sites, we picked Bickford because of the staff's involvement with the residents. My father in law was immediately called by his "Nickname" and included in talks, walks, and dining. When we noticed his clothes were the same as the day we brought him in to Bickford, the staff immediately suggested to my father in law some different clothes to wear for tomorrow. He is now sleeping in his bed for the first time in over 2 years and showering more frequently. My wife and I have notice his attitude is much more up-beat and his old humor is back. While its only been one week we're impressed with the changes.
