Bickford Of Saginaw

Experience with Bickford of Saginaw Township

We have had multiple safety issues with my father being at this facility. Every time we address the issues with the staff or manager, the rate is increased stating my father needs more care. I have no issue with paying the higher rate, if the care for my dad was actually improving. Bickford is understaffed at all times. My sister visits my dad daily to make sure he is receiving basic care like going to the dining room for meals or assisting with ADLs, all things we have been told we are paying for. I would not reco…

We were very impressed when we toured, it was out first choice, however we had a family member that shared a very negative experience with care of another family member in the past year and stated absolutely not. They ended pulling them out of care and placing them in another facility. It was disappointing as the facilitate seemed to meet our needs best.

A few initial hiccups, but things are much smoother now

My mother in law got a one bedroom here. Beautiful place, nice staff. Something she and her family was the 30 day period at move in where they had to manage her medications, even though she was doing it for herself before.

What I like about Bickford of Saginaw is that it seems nice and bright. The staff are friendly, and they mostly serve home-cooked food. The structure of the building is good, and it appears to be relatively clean. It feels homey, and there are plenty of places for people to go to watch TV or play games.

Bickford of Saginaw seemed more friendly than the other location we visited, and they seemed to be on top of their game better. It was a little bit bigger and it seemed to be comfortable. They had everything, like the salon, the exercises, and the rehabilitation area. The dining area was nice. It was located near restaurants, but a little farther from the hospital. The room that we saw was OK. It could fit a double bed and it had a little kitchenette area and a bathroom.

Bickford of Saginaw was very nice. I think the care, from my perspective, looked to be fine, and certainly the staff was very welcoming. They had a service to transport the residents to their doctor's appointments and other shopping, etc., in the area. They also had various activity areas, such as a dedicated puzzle room, and several other ones. They had folks that came in regularly to entertain or stimulate the various residents. They had a very nice reception area and a very nice fireplace area that someone …
