Bickford Senior Living

Bickford Senior Living is a family-owned and operated organization dedicated to enriching the lives of seniors through compassionate care and a commitment to happiness. Established in 1991 in Olathe, Kansas, by the Eby family, Bickford began with a single location that honored Mary Bickford, the family's matriarch and the first resident of a Bickford branch.

This initial community set the foundation for a tradition of personalized care that has expanded to over 50 locations across seven states. The mission is to provide a family-like environment where residents feel valued and supported.

The organization offers a range of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of seniors, including:

• Assisted Living: Personalized assistance with daily activities such as meals, grooming, and medication management, ensuring residents maintain their independence while receiving needed support.
• Independent Living: Maintenance-free living that offers safety and security, allowing residents to enjoy a vibrant lifestyle with the comfort of knowing care is available if needed.
• Memory Care: Specialized care designed for seniors with dementia and Alzheimer's, providing an intimate and engaging environment that promotes cognitive health and well-being.

A distinctive feature of Bickford Senior Living is its nationally recognized HigherPath senior health model. This proactive approach helps residents live happier, healthier, and longer lives by integrating on-site primary care, a high-performing care network, interdisciplinary care meetings, integrated health records, and outcome-focused technology.
