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 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.

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.

The care‑focused environment we create for residents extends to our team members. We offer programs, rewards, and benefits to help you live your best.
