"There is no higher calling, no greater purpose than a caregiver. Somehow, we’ve come to believe that caregiving is just for some of us and not all. Yet, at our core, we are all made to love, connect, to extend ourselves in service to others. The question is… do we have the will to love, do what it takes, and risk ourselves in caring, even when the burden is great? In times of happiness and sadness, we are that caregiver” - www.bickfordseniorliving.com/caregivers-manifesto

ABOUT BICKFORD SENIOR LIVING:

Bickford Senior Living is a community of caregivers dedicated to enriching our residents’ happiness. Founded in 1991 in Olathe, Kansas, by the Eby Family. Mary Bickford, the family matriarch, was the first resident of a Bickford Branch and our namesake. That location marked the beginning of a tradition of caring that now spans over 50 locations in 7 states. Despite our growth, we pride ourselves on maintaining a family environment that has served thousands of residents and employees over the years.
