Bickford of Lincoln

Never enough help so took for ever to get help they were suppose to help with the cat and that was seldom. Always had to wait to get in or out of the building because of shortages of help,there were rooms that really smelled like pee really strong.

My number one concern is I have asked for seven months to be given the scale/criteria that moves someone from level of care to level of care, and I have gotten nothing. To me, the criteria seems hit and miss each day. They do give meds on time and assist with my loved one's bath. The main entrance, main living areas, and dining areas are always clean and tidy. But my loved one's room is not very clean, and he is physically unable to clean for himself. Most of the time the food is good. And they do have a lot of activities.

The value for cost is quite pricey but it is a smaller facility and all on one level so it is easily accessible for everyone. The meals and dining service according to our loved one is excellent, and the activities are still a little limited.

The staff is very friendly and does a great job. The community is safe and secure and they have made safety a priority. The food is great and the community is neat and clean and they have lots of activities. communication is good between the staff and our family. I would recommend this community to others

It was very friendly there, but it seemed that the people in charge - the administrators - kind of went downhill once my loved one moved in. They did not give a lot of feedback about what my loved one was going through, mainly because upon move-in, they didn't tell us she would be quarantined for 5 days. They said they told her, but they did not tell us. So in those 5 days, she had to stay alone in a two-room apartment, and I think that broke her. After she got out and could meet a few people and make friends, then she seemed to enjoy it. She said the food was very good, that they had a lot of choices, and meals included all four food groups. I just wish they had been more upfront about those first five days.

The nursing care is excellent and the staff has been there for over 25 years and are friendly, but the community is pricey. I would definitely recommend this community to others

I liked the size of this place. It felt like a community, more homey.

Very nice facility. Staff willing to listen to needs and try to work out appropriate solutions. Willing to visit with potential resident to help present advantages for assisted living.

Facility created a home like atmosphere. Staff seemed very friendly and attentive to residents. Smaller facility gave you a sense of community. Activities seemed a little limited but after talking to staff they create activities based on interests.

Older facility, but clean. HAs good accessory services. Staff is not as well trained and currently hiring. The facility is currently full

Everything about this community is exceptional. I visited looking for a home for my mother and after spending a couple of hours visiting with the Director and staff, we already felt like part of the family. The apartments are small, but my guess is the residents don't care because they spend so much time with the community.

Seemed short staffed. Mostly tv watching. For the cost they expected a lot to be provided, like toilet paper, gloves. Some staff very good with alzheimers, some not mature enough or appropriate. Probably would be ok if not an alzheimer patient.

The tour was fine and it looked like a nice community. We were not offered a meal it was just a tour. My mom thought it was a little fancy for her.

I took a tour of Bickford of Lincoln and it was a very nice community. This was one of my favorite places for my loved one to reside in. They had available activities and meals. One of the things that i did notice was the bedrooms they were small. Things were really close to each other. I did like that the tour guide was informative and very nice.

This is a beautiful facility but a little expensive and the apartments are small compared to other places we have seen. The staff was very nice and caring. People who live there appeared happy and well taken care of.

The feeling of this facility is homey and welcoming. Residents were out and about and staff were engaging. There was a nice enclosed courtyard with raised beds (standing height) for resident gardening. The bedrooms do not have actual doors within the apartments. We prefer to be able to separate the bedrooms from the rest of the living space.

Positive changes caused a 180 degree turn around in the emotional health of my mother in law. We thought she was failing rapidly, and once she moved to Bickford, she was a totally different person. She is happy with her room and is even decorating it with her own curtains and comforter that were packed in storage for 10 years. Thank you for all you have done.

I can't say enough about your facility and how you have taken in my mother in law with welcome arms. I would recommend your facility in a heartbeat if someone is looking for a facility for their parents or lived ones. Thanks again.

visited and was very impressed.
