Assisted Living & Memory Care · Okemos, MI

Overview of Bickford of Okemos

Bickford of Okemos offers assisted living and memory care in Okemos, MI. In assisted living, residents can receive help with bathing, dressing, and medication while having a private room. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and having both care levels in one community can allow a resident’s support to increase over time without moving elsewhere.

Every resident has a private room, and pets are allowed for those who want to bring one. Salon services bring grooming into the community, while the outdoor courtyard gives residents a place to spend time outside; Montessori Memory Care is the community’s named memory care program. With a Walk Score of 44 / 100, the area is car-dependent, so most errands require a car or a ride, and Christopher Weber serves as the director.
