Our Experience
I can only speak regarding the Memory Care Unit, but all of the staff in the Memory unit were wonderful with my father. We had a few issues with the billing department, but they worked with us on it.

My father’s experience
My father was in this facility for 7 years. He was always treated as a respected individual . All the staff were welcoming, compassionate , loving and totally supportive to him , as well as our whole family. Activities were available from morning until early evening . In the last year, under the present leadership of the activities have become more challenging, creative and engaging, providing even more fun and joy for the residents. Dining room manager always provided a pleasant atmosphere and wholesome menu , making for an exciting daily dining experience, Excellent compassionate nursing care , and always keeping family informed of changes. Administration always available , caring and a great communicator . Front desk person is a joy, welcoming, loving and caring and dedicated to her position. All the staff is the best of the best . Beautiful ,clean and sweet smelling home .

A wonderful experience
I moved here six months ago and after one month, I felt unbelievably refreshed and was so glad this was the place I chose. Great environment, caring staff, marvelous food, and a wonderful call bell system. I’ve never waited more than five minutes after alerting staff. Overall I would recommend the Residence at Presque Isle Bay.

Staff is amazing!
I am fortunate enough to have both parents at The Residence at PI. They were not happy about giving up their independence and leaving their home but they are happy with the care and attention they receive. My parents both say they get treated like a King and Queen everyday and how much they love the staff. It is a clean and beautiful facility with a great view of the bay. They have activities daily and encourage involvement from everyone. It is fun to see pictures on Facebook and even Tic Toc’s of what they do for exercise and fun! My brother and I are happy and feel my parents are taken care of- most important. A side note- one of their children passed away recently, they made special arrangements with snacks and made family feel comfortable while hanging out at the facility for the week. They went out of their way to help, a staff member even came to the showing on her day off with tears in her eyes to show her support. Really sweet and appreciative.

Wonderful place for Seniors
The Residence at Presque Isle Bay is wonderful, great friendly staff, beautiful views, lots of activities, good meals. We just placed our mom there and she loves it. She told us she feels safe and we don’t have to worry anymore. The staff is there to take care of whatever she needs and will keep her moving.

Loved it!
We toured The Residence at Presque Isle Bay and we loved it! The facility is right on the lake and has lots of activities. They use an AI system to monitor the location of each of the residents. Everyone at this facility was very nice, however the rooms are quite small and it's a bit more expensive than several other facilities in the area. My loved one wasn't interested in this facility.

A great place to live
We have the best aides in town. They are very kind and caring. I’ve been at three places and this is the best place to be. They keep me as busy as I’ll let them when it comes to activities and the call bell system makes me feel extremely safe. I never have to worry about waiting more than 5 minutes for assistance. I would highly recommend the residence at presque isle bay.

Our family just moved our aunt here a little over a week ago. We could not be happier. The staff is amazing. The facility is beautiful. Most importantly, our aunt could not be happier here. One of the things that I love most about it is that there are so many activities that they can participate in.

a nice community but room for improvements
Only speaking for experience on the memory care side of things - its a nice community but on the memory care side I do think the cleanliness could be improved as well as activities. We aren't there all the time so we do not see everything that goes on, but when you walk in on the assisted living side its very clean and gorgeous and it looks like there are plenty of activities, and then its somewhat the opposite on the memory care side.

They checked off all of our expectations and concerns when we visited and still are doing great. Any tome we have a concern they address it and have worked with us to come to a satisfying conclusion. We really believe they are the best place for the money in the Erie area. We feel very lucky that we can afford to send our father there but don't think it is over priced. It truly is steps above its competitors. I have worked in the medical industry for over 34 years and was very picky about where he would go. Is nothing like a nursing home but provides the safety and supervision that your loved one may need without being locked in.

Very pleased
I'm very pleased with the facility & staff. The location and brightness of the facility stood out to us. It's open and so many windows. The food too is just fantastic & homemade. The facility is clean. The Memory Care unit (where my mom got moved to) is dated & needs renovated, but is scheduled for that in January. The staff are caring & kind--towards her & me. At first I was taking care of all her laundry but realized I just didn't need to, they really take care of her & her things. They offer family evenings/activities that are super nice.

Our experience so far
We chose The Residence at Presque Isle Bay because it is right on the bay with a beautiful view, the room was nice, and people were all very friendly when we went to visit. The food they serve is great, they are chef prepared meals. There are some downsides such as they don't have a van to take people to events, so if you do not have family members you are kind of stuck. They just changed management and the price is pretty high. Most rooms are studios and pretty small in size. Most of the staff have been absolutely wonderful, but there have been a few that are less supportive. Overall I would cautiously recommend the facility, make sure to pay attention to the cost.

If it wasn't an excellent place, my loved one wouldn't be there.
It's a nice place. I'm very happy with it, and my loved one is too. 90% of the of the time it's very clean, and you don't smell urine and things like that The care is good overall, but sometimes they don't do what you ask or do it fast enough because they don't have enough people on staff. But they have been able to hire a few more people lately.

Very good experience - My wife is very happy.
She loves it at Bickford. She's very happy there, especially after being at another place that she hated. The people and the caregivers are great. Right now we have hospice in there helping as well. Meals are nice and hot. And she likes that she has the ability to go out in the courtyard.

So far so good
We chose Bickford because they had not had covid in quite a while and other people were not taking new residents because they had covid, and we wanted her protected so that is why we went with this facility. They took the right precautions to protect their residents. They take my phone calls whenever I call and they were good with communication. I haven't been in yet but we are having a good experience so far.
