My sister moved into Bickford of Portage yesterday. I wanted her relatively close to where I live so I could visit her, take things to her, and so on. So that made the decision, the proximity mattered to me. Bickford wasn't real close, but it had a 5-star rating and they had an opening. I was particularly concerned about the 5-star rating, because there were incentives in other places, but they didn't rate very well, and that's probably why they have incentives. I felt that Bickford gave me the best information that I could use.
We felt that when my sister entered yesterday, she had a good welcome. They had put things in place, and were ready. The information that I was given ahead of time was useful, as far as floor plans. I was also sent a video of one occupied studio apartment so we could have some sense of what that was like. They were ready to answer my questions, they provided pretty thorough packets of information and there's a variety of them. It was an experience unlike anything we've gone through before, we had a lot of frustrations with that, but that does not necessarily cast any shadow on them.

We went to the memory care facility of Bickford of Portage. The rooms were small. The staff was great, which was one of their strong points. Had they been open sooner and had a little more available, we probably would have went with them. The price was good. It was lower than where we had come from and I believe it had better care, so that’s a plus. The location was perfect, but they were full.

The facility itself and the staff were great. They were very on top of everything. They seemed knowledgable and very helpful. The dining room was great. I like that Bickford Senior Living had a couple of different dining rooms for the residents to use.
