Do not place a loved one here
We had a terrible time with them. I filed a complaint with management. They did not give my dad all of his medication, so in abruptly stopping it, his behavior had a severe decline. Also, their communication was nonexistent. I could not get anyone to return my phone calls. We moved him out of there as soon as we were able to find an alternative. I have never experienced such a mismanagement and unprofessionalism. People should definitely be discouraged from trusting their loved ones to that facility. Also, after speaking with the person from Bickford who contacted me about my complaint, I received zero follow up. The only reason I did not file a complaint with the state was because the only facility I was able to get my dad transferred to quickly was another Bickford, and I was afraid they may not keep him if I started formal proceedings. Eventually the facility changed hands, so Bickford is no longer the owner, but I no longer have the emotional resources to dredge up that experience.

Facilities all have ups and downs with staff. My main concern is with cleanliness of the floor within my mom's apt. Rest of common areas are great. I've shared my concern with them. No matter what time of day or day of the week staff has always been responsive. They are friendly and caring!

The staff were friendly and encouraging and so supportive. My brother (the resident) entered The Bickford on hospice because of failure to thrive and within three months he was well enough to be taken off hospice. We had very little difficulty getting in contact with the staff, and they contacted me appropriately. I would strongly recommend this facility.

Review for Bickford of Champaign
Smaller facility, meals are all made from scratch, good portions, and good. A few hiccups after moving in and medication management. Didn't have all the medications, medication distribution was missed a couple times, morning meds not given until lunch. This has improved was previously an issue. The primary reason we picked this place was the cost. Right now my mom is at $[removed]/month. She has her own studio apartment, 3 meals a day, medication management, 2 fully assisted showers a week, and housekeeping once a week.

Good things could be even better
When call buttons are pushed for help, the response time is short. It comes within 1-3 minutes. The staff members are usually pleasant and helpful and responsive, but, as primary family members, we've experienced they do not contact us or give us feedback unless we ask for it. It would be good to know that the facility knows what's going on with our family member by contacting us or having a periodic "care" conference. The food quality varies, from reports, but has a good variety. The housekeeping is average to better than the average.

Excellent place to live
Everyone was exceptionally nice and qualified to do their job. Went over and beyond to take care of mom. With 28 rooms in this section, was easy for residents to get around. Mom had a call button pendant for around her neck, if she needed anything. Very handy and I feel every care facility should offer one of these for each resident. I am so very thankful to everyone who made the last 2 months of my mother's life as good as it could be. They gave her dignity & made her laugh. They definitely made my life easier too--less worry and know she's actually being taken care of, unlike Illiini Heritage Nursing Home, where she was abused, neglected and molested. Mom was a resident about year and a half ago+. Many, many thanks to all of you who were there at that time.

Avoid at all costs
We were never allowed inside. They called us at 6:39 in the morning to tell us our loved one had passed away. They didn't tell us until 10 hours later that they had found her face down on the floor. I wouldn't recommend anyone put a loved one in this place. Later on, I found out there were allegations about sexual misconduct of a male employee involving residents. I feel like this place should have been shut down long ago.

We chose Bickford of Champaign because the staff members had been here for a long time and they were very caring in their philosophy. They truly care about him and that is evident. They have been good with communication. I would tell others that even though the transition is difficult, the end result is wonderful after your loved one becomes more acclimated. The things we had hoped to accomplish by moving him in here are coming to be and it is really wonderful to see. I would recommend to other families who are looking.

Overall Bickford provides great service to my mom. They communicate well with the family, keeping us advised on mom's condition. There were a couple of communication issues when mom first moved in, but the staff has been very responsive and have resolved the issues. The activities they provide for my mom are appropriate for her condition and are much appreciated to keep her engaged. I appreciate seeing the schedule of activities and the meals planned daily online, since I live 3 hours away. I only wish there were cameras online so that I could look in on my mom, at least in the common areas. I have seen this available at pet day care facilities; it would be nice to be able to do so with my mom.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Illinois’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Illinois’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
