Bickford of Chesterfield

Dee

I like Bickford of Chesterfield for my aunt because of the genuine interaction between the staff and the residents. It's a very home-like atmosphere. The person who gave the tour was very informative, I liked how she interacted with the residents, she seemed to genuinely know them and they seemed happy. They had a salon, they do outings, they have an activities coordinator who does a lot of activities with them on-site, they have movie nights, they celebrate different holidays, and they have music and games.

Bickford of Chesterfield was very nice. This place was our second choice if we didn't have room in the facility my mother got into. It was a pretty new facility. We only met with the person giving the tour, and she was very nice.

I toured the assisted living of Bickford of Chesterfield and we loved it. It was very nice, very clean, and everything was really pretty. But it was priced a lot higher than we wanted to go. They had a lot of activities and they had physical therapy there. Everybody that I met was very friendly, but I didn't see many of their employees.

I toured Bickford of Chesterfield for my father, and it was a beautiful facility. It was sort of the place I needed to be myself because I would be comfortable there. It was very nice, very clean, and very well-kept. It wasn't old and it looked like it had been probably one of the newer buildings. It was bright and airy. The eating and the common area were very, very nice. In the memory care part, they did have like an outdoor area. They could walk out into the courtyard, but the thing that I did not like was the memory care was just one part as opposed to a memory care facility where they have the whole building to themselves. The common areas were clean and spread out. I met with the director, and she was very kind. I had a lot of questions because it was kind of early in my search, and she was very patient, and she answered all of my questions. She was very personable, and I felt like she really cared about how everyone was treated and taken care of, and it's not just with memory care, but on the assisted living side too. She was just the right person for the job, and the right person as a director.

We did a tour of Bickford of Chesterfield, and several items made it on my list. It was very clean and well taken care of. It was a single floor and had gardens that people could walk out into. They have a very flexible menu and dining venues. The structure was relatively new, every five years or something like that, I can't remember. The personnel and staff all seemed very friendly. This combination of things was a general impression. It was just that well-kept facility. They had nice-sized rooms. I like the layout of the 1-bedroom facilities, and I like the amenities

Bickford is brand new and in a very nice setting. I felt the memory care unit was not active enough for my mother. They allowed and encouraged pets; if you wanted a pet, they would help take care of it. I really liked Bickford, but it didn't feel that homey. The staff seemed pleasant enough and seemed to know what they were doing. It had two different parts: assisted and memory center. They had other activities in the memory center, but I went there two or three times, and every time they were just having kind of discussion in the central area. That would've driven my mom off the wall. I didn't taste the food, but the menu looked good. The dining area looked nice. This is my number 2 spot. They were really good. I liked it a lot.
