We toured Bickford of Marion. It's a smaller community, so it's more personable. It seems like they take pride in their facility. The staff was very friendly and the ones we met had all been there for a while, which is a good sign when you're looking at a place like that. The studio was pretty small. We wouldn't necessarily want to put my mother-in-law in a studio apartment, but we did get to peek our head in one of the one-room apartments, and it's a reasonable room and it would feel like home. We did not try the food, but it smelled good, and the menu looked good. They're installing a new security system, so they have sensors on the doors, and they've got a new wristband program that they can call for help on and they can detect falls. I think they said there are sensors on the bathrooms so they can monitor how often they go to the bathroom to detect UTIs and other issues associated with the bathroom. I don't remember seeing any issues as far as cleanliness goes. It was organized and clean.

My mom moved in at Bickford of Marion the first week of December. We chose it because of the staff and the location. They've been patient and good with her in helping her to transition. The facility is nice and clean. It's a circle, so you can't get lost. They have a salon, gardening, and a courtyard. So far, I've got no issues whatsoever. They are located near restaurants, but it's about 20 minutes away from a hospital. There's urgent care across the street, though.

I went to Bickford of Marion. It was smaller and it seemed very homey. It was really like a comforting, homey area. The apartments have microwaves and mini fridges because all their meals are provided. The person who took me around was very friendly and accommodating. She had a lot of information. They have two courtyards that had fences around them, so people that had memory problems couldn't get out.

Our loved one never had the chance to move in, but we were so excited to get them into Bickford that we paid in advanced to hold a room for them. When it came time for the director of nursing to give our loved one an evaluation and asses their health level, she never showed up. We called the community that day, and they said there had been a covid outbreak and the director of nursing was in quarantine. We asked if they could send someone else, and they never did. Our loved one ended up passing away before moving in, and when we asked for a refund of the money they said the check would get back to us within a week - it took almost 2 months and it ended up only being a portion of the money. Every time we asked questions there was always an excuse regarding covid, they pride themselves on treating families with respect but we did not feel respected, they never returned calls or thoroughly answered our questions. Very unhappy.
