I visited this facility

We toured Bickford of Marion. It's a smaller community, so it's more personable. It seems like they take pride in their facility. The staff was very friendly and the ones we met had all been there for a while, which is a good sign when you're looking at a place like that. The studio was pretty small. We wouldn't necessarily want to put my mother-in-law in a studio apartment, but we did get to peek our head in one of the one-room apartments, and it's a reasonable room and it would feel like home. We did not try the food, but it smelled good, and the menu looked good. They're installing a new security system, so they have sensors on the doors, and they've got a new wristband program that they can call for help on and they can detect falls. I think they said there are sensors on the bathrooms so they can monitor how often they go to the bathroom to detect UTIs and other issues associated with the bathroom. I don't remember seeing any issues as far as cleanliness goes. It was organized and clean.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mom moved in at Bickford of Marion the first week of December. We chose it because of the staff and the location. They've been patient and good with her in helping her to transition. The facility is nice and clean. It's a circle, so you can't get lost. They have a salon, gardening, and a courtyard. So far, I've got no issues whatsoever. They are located near restaurants, but it's about 20 minutes away from a hospital. There's urgent care across the street, though.

Provider Response

Elena, Thank you for the kind words. We enjoy having your mother as part of our family! She is a lot of fun and has settled in well. We appreciate the feedback and look forward to many more wonderful experiences with all of you! Please reach out if anything comes up that we can assist with.

Bickford of Marion was just a nice family setting and comfortable. It smelled good. The people were very friendly and nice. Everybody seemed to like what they were doing. The rooms were nice and spacious. They weren't too small. There's plenty of room. In terms of food, they're pretty receptive to what everybody needs, and they follow the diets the doctors prescribed. It looked great.

I went to Bickford of Marion. It was smaller and it seemed very homey. It was really like a comforting, homey area. The apartments have microwaves and mini fridges because all their meals are provided. The person who took me around was very friendly and accommodating. She had a lot of information. They have two courtyards that had fences around them, so people that had memory problems couldn't get out.

Provider Response

Hi Jan, thank you for leaving Bickford of Marion such an excellent review. We appreciate it very much!

Bickford of Marion is a small place and it's like a family setting and I like that part. The staff who gave the orientation was very nice. Her name was Misty. She was very friendly, and she had a good personality, so we like that. Misty was good. I think the facilities need a little more update. They have amenities. The place was clean.

Provider Response

Mia, thank you for the review. We appreciate the feedback.

Bickford of Marion was OK. The people were friendly, and the dining area looked OK. They had a library, card games, and bingo. However, I was not too impressed with them. Their rooms were small.

I really like Bickford Cottage but it was quite a bit more expensive than the other facility. It is a nice facility that is on one level. The apartment was nice. You have a little kitchenette in your room and you have a full bath and a walk-in shower. However, if my husband's needs exceed the care they provide, we might have to move out of there. The activities were about the same as with the other facility. We didn't have any contact with anyone except the registered nurse and the girl who gives you all the information. They were both very nice and informative.

About Bickford of Marion in Marion, Iowa

If you think there's not much going on in a senior living community, you've never been to Bickford. Imagine your loved one enjoying delicious, scratch-made meals, having a friendly caregiver always nearby, and a calendar chock-full of social activities. Our family of caregivers will do whatever it takes to make sure your loved one is living their best life possible.

That includes our nationally recognized HigherPath senior health model. Think of it as your loved one's safety net -- a proactive care team that's all about helping them live happier, healthier -- longer. Oh and did we mention our resident happiness ratings are double the industry average?

Get your loved one on the HigherPath

Many assisted living facilities seem similar. But Bickford's nationally recognized senior health model is taking the road less traveled and championing a higher standard of senior care. An interdisciplinary care team will ensure your loved one is getting whatever proactive interventions they need to stay on a higher path.

  • On-site primary care
  • High-performing care network
  • Interdisciplinary care meetings
  • Integrated health records
  • Outcome-focused technology

Created to care for our family. Devoted to serving yours.

Bickford was founded in 1991 to care for our own mother. What started out as a family need has blossomed into our life's work. We're still family-owned and operated today.

Support in a home-like environment

Your loved one deserves to focus on what matters most -- living the best life possible. Whatever care needs they have, we're here to help.

  • Bread Basket Scratch Kitchen - This isn't institutional food. They'll get three meals a day from our scratch kitchen -- good as home can be.
  • Daily Activities - Choose your fun every day, with options like exercise, guitar sessions, happy hour, and much, much more.
  • Pet Friendly - Know your loved one and their pet are thriving together. We provide assistance with all pet care needs, including feeding, litter box, and outdoor time.

  • Transportation Services - Rest easy knowing your loved one can get anywhere they need to go, safely and hassle-free.
  • Medication Management - Twenty different pills per day? No problem.
  • Assistance with Activities of Daily Living - Whatever it takes to give your loved one their dignity, choice, and independence.
  • Maintenance-Free Living - Housekeeping, laundry, home maintenance -- no more! (And yes, we'll even help with the TV remote.)
  • Dementia Programming - All Bickford caregivers consistently receive advanced training in dementia care.
  • Spiritual Care - Most senior living communities rely on volunteers for spiritual care. Not us. We partner with MarketPlace Chaplains to provide reliable, consistent, professional support.

Help your loved one age gracefully in 3 easy steps
