About Bickford Senior Living

Bickford Senior Living is a community of caregivers dedicated to doing whatever it takes to enrich residents’ happiness. Founded in 1991 in Olathe, Kansas, by the Eby Family, Bickford is named after Mary Bickford, the family matriarch and our first resident. That location became the start of a tradition of caring that has extended to more than 50 locations in seven 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.
