Memory Care
Staff is very knowledgeable, my room was always clean, good is good, everyone is very helpful. i would highly recommend Heritage Village.
The facility is very clean and well maintained. The staff and residents are quite friendly. Friends and outside medical personnel I have talked with speak highly of Bickford of Bourbonnais. The apartment size is actually larger than my mom needs. My mom has pretty late-stage dementia and doesn't receive much in terms of memory care. Most of the attention she receives is centered on her comfort and safety.
This is an exceptional place for your loved ones. The employees are truly dedicated to their work and are willing to go above and beyond to make a positive difference in the lives of their residents, friends, and families.
