The value for cost is quite pricey but it is a smaller facility and all on one level so it is easily accessible for everyone. The meals and dining service according to our loved one is excellent, and the activities are still a little limited.

About the facility
Bickford of Lincoln

With our HigherPath senior health model leading the way, Bickford redefines senior living. It's not just about care; it's about proactive well-being, enabling your loved one to live happier, healthier — longer.

But Bickford is about living, not just healthcare. Imagine a place where fresh, homemade meals are the norm, friendly caregivers are a constant, and the social activities are both engaging and abundant. Welcome home to Bickford.

Get your loved one on the HigherPath

Many assisted living facilities seem similar. But Bickford’s nationally recognized senior health model is taking the road less traveled and championing a higher standard of senior care. An interdisciplinary care team will ensure your loved one is getting whatever proactive interventions they need to stay on a higher path.

Never enough help so took for ever to get help they were suppose to help with the cat and that was seldom. Always had to wait to get in or out of the building because of shortages of help,there were rooms that really smelled like pee really strong.

At first very accepting and knowledgeable. Those gals are no longer there. Getting to know new staff.
My number one concern is I have asked for seven months to be given the scale/criteria that moves someone from level of care to level of care, and I have gotten nothing. To me, the criteria seems hit and miss each day. They do give meds on time and assist with my loved one's bath. The main entrance, main living areas, and dining areas are always clean and tidy. But my loved one's room is not very clean, and he is physically unable to clean for himself. Most of the time the food is good. And they do have a lot of activities.

Good But Not Great
It was very friendly there, but it seemed that the people in charge - the administrators - kind of went downhill once my loved one moved in. They did not give a lot of feedback about what my loved one was going through, mainly because upon move-in, they didn't tell us she would be quarantined for 5 days. They said they told her, but they did not tell us. So in those 5 days, she had to stay alone in a two-room apartment, and I think that broke her. After she got out and could meet a few people and make friends, then she seemed to enjoy it. She said the food was very good, that they had a lot of choices, and meals included all four food groups. I just wish they had been more upfront about those first five days.

Everything about this community is exceptional. I visited looking for a home for my mother and after spending a couple of hours visiting with the Director and staff, we already felt like part of the family. The apartments are small, but my guess is the residents don't care because they spend so much time with the community.

Seemed short staffed. Mostly tv watching. For the cost they expected a lot to be provided, like toilet paper, gloves. Some staff very good with alzheimers, some not mature enough or appropriate. Probably would be ok if not an alzheimer patient.

Small Bedroom Layout!!
I took a tour of Bickford of Lincoln and it was a very nice community. This was one of my favorite places for my loved one to reside in. They had available activities and meals. One of the things that i did notice was the bedrooms they were small. Things were really close to each other. I did like that the tour guide was informative and very nice.

Review of Bickford of Lincoln - Lincoln, NE
The feeling of this facility is homey and welcoming. Residents were out and about and staff were engaging. There was a nice enclosed courtyard with raised beds (standing height) for resident gardening. The bedrooms do not have actual doors within the apartments. We prefer to be able to separate the bedrooms from the rest of the living space.

Mary's transformation
Positive changes caused a 180 degree turn around in the emotional health of my mother in law. We thought she was failing rapidly, and once she moved to Bickford, she was a totally different person. She is happy with her room and is even decorating it with her own curtains and comforter that were packed in storage for 10 years. Thank you for all you have done.

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:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Nebraska regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Nebraska regulations for Assisted Living.
