Bickford of Grand Island delivers Assisted Living as its primary level of care, with the option for short-term respite stays for those recovering from illness or surgery. Residents who need ongoing support for diabetes management receive monitoring and assistance with glucose checks and medications. Physical therapy is available to help maintain or restore mobility, and a speech therapist can address communication or swallowing issues. These services work in tandem to give residents daily assistance while aiming to preserve as much independence as possible.
Additional medical resources are located on site to reduce the need for outside appointments. Licensed nurses oversee medication management, coordinate treatment plans, and provide routine health assessments. Occupational and physical therapists, as well as a podiatrist and dentist, visit the community regularly. Memory care programming supports residents with cognitive decline, and incontinence and ambulatory care services are in place for those who need them. The community also partners with hospice providers when end-of-life care becomes necessary, and laundry and dry-cleaning services help residents maintain personal hygiene and comfort.
Living accommodations range from studio to larger apartment layouts, all featuring central air conditioning, and most offer wheelchair-accessible showers. Housekeeping, utilities, and parking are included, and residents can enjoy landscaped grounds, an outdoor garden, and several patio areas. A library and computer lounge provide quiet spaces for reading or staying connected online, and the community is pet friendly, subject to breed and size guidelines. Not every unit contains every listed feature, so prospective residents should verify specific details during their tour.
Dining is provided three times daily in a restaurant-style setting, with staff serving meals directly to residents at their tables. Menus rotate and include vegetarian selections, and healthy snacks are available between meals. Special dietary needs can be accommodated by kitchen staff in coordination with nursing personnel to ensure medical nutrition requirements are met.
Residents can keep busy in the activity center, join clubs and community groups, or take part in scheduled social outings to local attractions and events. Bingo and yoga sessions offer structured recreation and light exercise, and the activities team adjusts participation levels to match each resident’s abilities and interests.
