My husband was a resident of the Bickford of Okemos before he passed away. They had some really good employees. That's always important because if you go there and there are different people and they don't know the residents living there, that's kind of bad. The food was pretty good. I got to share my husband's meals a couple of times because he couldn't eat, so that was pretty nice too. The room wasn't wonderful, it was really like a hospital. I didn't like the room. There were some games and things that they were playing.

I went to Bickford of Okemos. The building was very nice. It looked very homey on the inside. Outside, it looked business-like, but the inside was very lovely. If I would have been able to afford it in my budget, I would have loved to have had my dad go there because of how nice it was and how much they tried to personalize the care. They have all the care wrapped up in one. All of their staff is trained in memory care. There is no separation of people. They're set up to take care of someone if they need help like that. I only got to do a tour with the regular staff, but they seemed very helpful. They told me that they would help even if I chose not to go there and that was kind of a shock. It looked like someone's home. It was set up to be more comforting and to help ease and relax the client to help the transition easier. I know they have a lot of stuff that they can do there.

My visit to Bickford of Okemos was wonderful, the staff was great, and it's very secure. The price point was higher, but it's very well-maintained. They had a variety of activities that they do, and they also transport the residents who live there.

We liked Bickford of Okemos, but it was very small and so we did not see the activity level necessary for my friend's need for stimulation. The gal that gave us a tour, Tyler, was very attentive and checked back with us several times. The facility was still a top-notch. The dining area was nice and clean, but then again, much smaller. The menu looked good.

Bickford of Okemos was very nice and very clean. It was attractive inside as far as furnishings. I saw a lot of staff in the hallways. They appeared to have an adequate staff-to-patient ratio. It didn't smell like some of these places do. They had a full-time activities director who had things planned every day for the residents. It just looked like a quality-run operation. That was our first choice, had my brother-in-law not needed a higher level of medical care. The person that I talked to was Tyler and she was very accommodating. She was good at follow-up, asking if I had any questions. We met with the director of the home and also their chief nurse there during our visit. We spent an hour and a half with these people and they just answered every question that we had. It was kind of a reconnaissance visit. We were looking for Plan B when my brother-in-law was released from the hospital. They had a lot of stuff for patients. They have pianos in every common area. They had TVs. They had common areas for exercise and meetings and things like that. It's a very complete facility. They said their staff had dementia training and their call light response time if a resident pulled the cord was an average of 4 minutes, which is pretty quick.

The staff at Bickford of Okemos was very nice. A couple of the staff had been there over 10 years, which is an attractive element. The longevity of the care staff is really important because it's difficult to maintain those staff. They were very good. The person during the tour was very knowledgeable and passionate about her opportunity to provide care to the people. She's probably the warmest, most passionate person I talked to at all the facilities that I went to. She was topnotch. It was difficult not to choose them. If it doesn't work out at the other place, I wouldn't hesitate to move my father to the Bickford of Okemos. We wanted to put him in a studio apartment, and there wasn't one available. They had one available, but it would've been $40 more a day. The outdoor spaces were really pretty. They had a courtyard, but no pool.
