Bickford of Greenwood delivers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain in the same community even as needs change. The team is prepared for individuals who wander during the day or night, demonstrate exit-seeking or combative behaviors, stay awake overnight, or live with advanced dementia. Clinical support includes wound management, oxygen administration, and specialized dietary oversight for gluten-free, mechanical chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, vegetarian, or other medically prescribed diets. Diabetes care is offered for those on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin.
Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, with a nurse available by phone around the clock. Caregivers are awake overnight, and every employee undergoes background checks. Safety measures include 24-hour secured staffing, door alarms, wander-guard technology, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems. On-site providers visit for podiatry and dental needs, and residents with psychiatric diagnoses are accepted. Direct support can be given for full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility help ranges from supervision with a walker to one-or two-person transfers, Hoyer-lift transfers, and care for bed-bound residents.
Apartments feature bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnished layouts, individual climate controls, cable access, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry, though not every unit includes every listed feature. Residents may personalize their space with paint or décor when desired and permitted.
Meals are available by set menu or made-to-order, with snacks offered throughout the day. Room service and a private dining room accommodate personal schedules or family gatherings. Dietary modifications such as gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical soft, purée, and thickened liquids are prepared under staff supervision to meet physician-ordered requirements.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty salon, internet connectivity, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge support, a library, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation for appointments and outings. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
