About Bickford Senior Living
Bickford Senior Living is a community of caregivers dedicated to doing whatever it takes to enrich our residents’ 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.
At Bickford, you will make a difference every day. We are passionate about our mission — to champion quality of life for all seniors. We deliver high-quality care with a personal touch and encourage our residents to enjoy life to the fullest. You will be part of a uniquely supportive community where the care-focused environment extends to our team members. We believe potential has no limits and offer best-in-class leadership development programs designed to grow our leaders, helping our team members achieve their career goals.
