About Bickford of Bloomington

from Oasis Senior Advisors

Bickford of Bloomington delivers assisted living as its primary level of care, with staff trained to address day-to-day needs and evolving health conditions. Residents have access to a structured Mental Wellness Program, targeted Diabetes Care, and therapy services that include physical, occupational, and ambulatory support. Short-term respite stays are available for those recovering from illness or surgery, backed by on-site physician oversight and coordinated hospice services when needed. Medication management is standard, and incontinence care is offered for residents who require it.

The community operates as a secured environment with a wander-guard system to help protect residents at risk of unsafe exiting. Licensed nurses are on site up to 16 hours a day, supplemented by home health aides, therapists, and specialized memory-care professionals. Routine visits from dentists and podiatrists are arranged inside the building, minimizing the need for travel to outside offices. An enclosed courtyard supports safe outdoor time for memory-care residents, while regular care plan reviews help ensure services remain appropriate as conditions change.

Apartments feature options such as kitchenettes, phone and cable hookups, Wi-Fi, central air conditioning, and wheelchair-accessible showers. Some homes overlook landscaped grounds or an outdoor garden, and resident parking is available for those who still drive. Cats are welcome and the property is generally pet friendly, but not every unit includes every listed feature, so it is best to confirm specific details during a tour.

Dining follows a restaurant-style service model with three daily meals prepared on site, plus scheduled healthy snacks. Menus can accommodate vegetarian choices and are designed to support balanced nutrition for residents managing chronic conditions such as diabetes.

Daily life is rounded out by indoor walking paths, off-site outings, interest-based clubs, yoga classes, bingo sessions, and an activity center that hosts group events. These programs provide a mix of social engagement and light exercise, helping residents remain active within and beyond the community.
