Bickford of Urbandale

Bickford of Urbandale, located in Des Moines, offers both assisted living and memory care for seniors with varying needs. The assisted living program provides personalized support with daily activities, including meals, grooming, and medication management, allowing residents to maintain independence while receiving help where they need it most. For residents living with dementia, the community's memory care program follows a Montessori-based approach, a method grounded in research that aims to help seniors with dementia engage meaningfully in daily life rather than simply receiving custodial care. This approach often emphasizes purposeful activity and a sense of continued contribution, which can be an important consideration for families seeking memory support that goes beyond basic supervision. This combination of services may suit families looking for a single community that can support a loved one through different stages of care, from help with daily routines to more specialized memory support, without requiring a move elsewhere. Families considering Bickford of Urbandale for a parent or partner may want to reach out directly to learn more about how daily routines, meals, and activities are structured for each level of care offered.
