I visited this facility

I went to the memory care area of Bickford of Marion. It was very warm and welcoming. The rooms were personalized and well cared for. I spoke with Megan, and she was such a good listener, on top of everything, and very knowledgeable. I saw some informal gathering in the dining area, and folks seemed to be enjoying themselves and each other. I was very impressed. It was very well done and beautiful.

We had a good tour of Bickford of Marion. It was gracious and helpful. We got to tour one room and all the facilities like the kitchen and the dining room. The staff who gave the tour was very friendly and very helpful. She answered our questions as we asked them.

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 …

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.

Bickford of Marion was just a nice family setting and comfortable. It smelled good. The people were very friendly and nice. Everybody seemed to like what they were doing. The rooms were nice and spacious. They weren't too small. There's plenty of room. In terms of food, they're pretty receptive to what everybody needs, and they follow the diets the doctors prescribed. It looked great.

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.
