ABOUT BICKFORD SENIOR LIVING:
Bickford Senior Living is a community of caregivers who are dedicated to doing whatever it takes to enrich our resident's happiness. Founded in 1991 in Olathe, Kansas, by the Eby Family. Mary Bickford, the matriarch of the family, was the first resident of a Bickford Branch and our namesake. That location became the start of a tradition of caring that has extended to over 50 locations in 7 states. Although Bickford Senior Living has grown in size... we pride ourselves in the family environment that is the foundation on which Bickford has served thousands of residents and employees throughout the years.
