Overview of Bickford of Rockford

Bickford of Rockford offers assisted living and independent living in Rockford, IL. Assisted living includes help with daily activities such as dressing, bathing, and medication management, while independent living provides a maintenance-free setting for residents who do not need daily care. Having both care levels on one campus may suit a resident whose needs grow over time and who would prefer to remain in the same community.

Residents can bring pets, and transportation services are available for travel beyond the community. Meals are made from scratch, and special diets are accommodated so residents can continue following an established dietary plan. Spiritual care and religious services are also available for residents who want faith-based support.

Anne Gray is the director, and the community is operated by Rockford Bickford House.
