Family Culture
Be a part of our family where you're cared for and cared about.
Once a year, the Director from each Branch is invited to attend the Bickford Family Reunion. This memorable event is not just a corporate meeting, it’s our opportunity re-connect with our purpose and each other.
The Caregiver Ring of Honor is the highest award bestowed by Bickford Senior Living. Inductees best exemplify a caregiver who is willing to do whatever it takes. Their work is timeless and their contributions will forever serve as an inspiration for others to follow.
The Black Pearl program is designed to build leaders within the Service Family Group through increasing their responsibilities, voice and visibility.
It’s more than just an awards banquet, it’s a chance for our residents to brag on our Bickford Family Members (BFMs). No one has ever left this Oscar-styled event with a dry eye.
Bickford Family Members (BFMs) are inducted into the B91 Club (“B” for Bickford, “91” for our founding date, 1991) as part of their 5-year anniversary celebration. Adorning the tree is a precious stone. It’s the stone that give this tree its beauty and uniqueness. We’ve saved this precious stone to represent our treasured BFM.
While most businesses are able to define their culture, few businesses understand the importance of regular and repetitive communication of it. At Bickford, we go beyond just defining our culture and work to imbed it in each Bickford Family Member (BFM) through a powerful process of daily conversation referred to as “Daily Roots”.
We work to create a culture of appreciation through motivating Bickford Family Members (BFMs) to emulate our Core Values. Leaves are given to BFMs who demonstrate these values which then hang upon the Bickford Family Tree.
Enriching our residents' happiness starts with happy Bickford Family Members (BFMs). The work of caring for the frail elderly can be grueling and the demands of the job can be overwhelming. To be successful under these circumstances, you need to work in an environment of mutual respect and trust, care for one another and believe you are fulfilling your purpose.
