My great-grandmother spent her final years at this facility and I couldn't thank and be more grateful for the staff who cared and provided for her. They were always very friendly and took the care of their patients very seriously

I toured Bickford of Lancaster. It was a very nice and very homey feel. Their food was chef-made, and it was very, very good. They served you like you were in a restaurant. The facility itself and the rooms were very nice. Because they were self-pay that was the problem. As for activities, we got there just a little early, and it was right around Christmas, so we watched Polar Express with the residents until they were ready for us. The staff members we met were very nice, even the director. Everything was very nice.

Bickford of Lancaster was very nice. They had a lot of different activities for the people that live there. They take their residents out to eat, plant flowers, and take them on field trips. They showed me a couple of rooms. I liked the bathrooms, the walk-in shower, and had grab bars already in place. I looked at a studio and a one-bedroom, and they were both nice. I liked that you could have a little refrigerator, a microwave, and a coffeemaker in the rooms.

We have selected Bickford of Lancaster. My mom has been there for about a month now. It's a beautiful building and it's well kept up. Outside, it's kind of set right back in so it's like a private area and there's not a lot of traffic or anything. Right now, my mom is there for assisted living, but she'll be reevaluated this coming week. They have an exercise program every morning. After that, they have their breakfast. They always have some type of activity whether it be crafting, coloring, or bingo. They have a movie night. They have all sorts of activities. Food could be a little better. It's not bad. It used to be good, and that was one of the reasons my mom wanted to go there. She used to play cards with some ladies out there, and she always raved about the food. But I guess that kitchen supervisor has left, so they're looking at getting a new one. In the meantime, they're just following recipes and tweaking anything to make it better. However, the nurse's aides are fantastic, and the nurses are good, too. The people above the nurse's aides including the director, really do everything to make it seem like the greatest place on Earth to get you there, but then once you're there, they're not great at addressing your concerns. They have an issue with communication from shift to shift. For instance, my mom should not be going to dinner at 4:45 or even 5:00 and being left sitting in the dining room until after 7:00 to 7:30. One night she didn't get back to her room until 8:30. We requested that she never be taken back down there for dinner. She gets very tired at that time of day, which causes more confusion, of course. But a simple request to only take her down there for lunch has not gotten through because she keeps ending up down there.

I toured Bickford of Lancaster and it was good. I didn't see much interaction with the people that lived there though, but the people that showed me around were very polite and let us take as much time as we needed. Some of the rooms were carpeted, some weren't. They had a great big area for gatherings and crafts. They had humongous bowling pins and stuff for the residents. Their cookies were really good. We had them baked fresh out of the oven and we left with fresh baked cookies. That would have been my first pick, but financially I had to pass. I only spoke to one person there, but she was very friendly. It was very clean.

We toured Bickford of Lancaster. They're very nice and very good, they're just pricy. It's all self-pay and they only have so many Medicare beds or Medicaid beds. We had hoped for memory care, but that costs so much more. We were gonna go for the assisted living and see how mom's gonna go from there. They were just keeping their tours to a minimum when they could. They would show you what you needed to see, but as far as the memory care since mother most likely was going to be put on assisted living first, we did not see it, but I saw pictures and it looked nice. We know some people who have had their family there and it's all compliments. It's very clean and there were no odors. We only interacted with the person that gave the tours and he was nice. He cared and he's very compassionate.
