Bickford of Peoria is the one we are moving into tomorrow. We like the place better than the rest of them. We like the room that they have available. We like that it is the best compared to the other places. We like the layout of the room. We are very impressed with the staff members. The food is very good. They have a courtyard too.

We were pleased with Bickford of Peoria. It was very nice and clean. They had caring staff, and the dining area was nice and clean. My mom was there for a little bit and had a spacious room.

Greg

Bickford of Peoria was very nice, but a little older. The rooms were average. We had some cake, and it was absolutely delicious, so I think the food is probably very good. They have activities very similar to the other community we saw. They have beauty shops, games, and a bus. The staff members were very attentive. They were very good.

We love Bickford of Peoria. We like all of the people we talked to. It is very nice. The director is very helpful. My dad's room is very adequate. He is happy and seems to be adjusting, so I would say it is all good. The amenities are nice. It is hard to believe the place is almost 20 years old. They have exercise classes three times a week, had a birthday party last week, and had a big band that played for them. My dad enjoyed that. They have been very good about going to get him and taking him to different activities. I have been there while my dad has been eating, and it all looked good to me. The staff members have been nothing but kind. It is not cheap, but I think we are getting our money's worth.

I went to the assisted living side of Bickford of Peoria, but what I was most interested in was the memory care, so most of my time was spent there. The lady that took me on the tour was very nice. The ratio of staff to residents was lower than the other place, but it was clean and they were attentive to the residents. It seemed like there was good care there. They had stations where people could do things, but I didn't really see any particular activities going on.

Debbie

Grand View Alzheimer's Special Care Center was very nice. It looked like they had a lot of people there. The ratio of staff to people was lower than the other place, but they were friendly and it had a good first impression. The facility was nice, but people were just sitting around. They didn't seem to have as many unique activity stations as what the others did, but it was very clean. There was nothing wrong with it.

Beth

Bickford of Peoria was really nice. They allow pets and there's no weight limit. It was a very impressive and lovely place. The people seemed very charming and caring. The gardens were really great, and I think it's neat that they had a resident there that was able to make a garden. I met the chef, they served us desserts and the food was really good.

Sandy

I found Bickford for my mom. It's very clean, close to my home, and has everything we need for her. She has done exercise and bingo, and has had her hair done. They get three meals a day, laundry services, and transportation to doctor's appointments. The staff is caring and comes every day to remind her to go to dinner or lunch.
