I visited this facility

Bickford of Suffolk is a family-owned establishment. It's very pretty and very nice. I don't think the rooms were quite as big, but as far as the amenities and everything that they had there, everything was beautiful. It's very, very comforting. You walk in and it's got a brick fireplace. It's just very welcoming. They have a beautiful courtyard and a big gazebo. I like their dining room because they section it off a little bit, so it gives you a little bit more privacy while you're ea…

The Bickford of Suffolk was wonderful, except for the fact that they charge way too much. They're $2,000 more than where my dad is now and that was with a studio apartment. They are small, but they were really good about calling me when things happened. The biggest thing is they were just so expensive. Again, Dad had a studio there. It was "Here is his room, period." He had a walk-in shower and a little kitchenette area, and it was all in the same room. There was no divider. There was no separation. …

I have visited friends in Bickford of Suffolk. It was very good. The rooms are clean, but some people bring their own furniture. They do have some furnishings, but I will have to bring furniture. All the staff I've ever met over there were always very nice. The facility is very nice. The cleanliness and everything I would rate a four, there's nothing wrong with it. It's much improved over many of the other places I have been in over the years.

We toured this community and it was very impressive. The staff was very friendly and they answered all of our questions. The price was higher than others in the area.

Highly Recommended

I would tell them that it is a good community to go to. The staff are friendly, and helpful. The room is a good size and we had to provide the furniture for my loved one. The selection of the food is a very good variety.
