The Bickford Halloween Party on Saturday was amazing! Our seniors took the lead in preparing food in the bistro and helping set up the Activity Room. Helga, Clara, Jose, and Peggy are just a few of the wonderful resident leaders in our community who consistently show initiative and look out for their neighbors. Bickford of Chesapeake is truly a place where there is a sense of belonging, purpose, and connection. It's what makes our community feel like home! Our BFMs and residents worked together to make sure this was a great party! Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care

Our residents had a wonderful time participating in our craft corner creating pumpkin faces. The crafters club members enjoyed selecting their own craft materials and creative touches to bring their pumpkin faces to life. From one hilarious creation to the next, there was plenty of laughter, conversation, and fun! Montessori Inspired Lifestyle Nugget: Activities like this are about so much more than completing a craft. A Montessori Inspired Lifestyle encourages residents to exercise choice, make independent decisions, express their individuality, and take ownership of their creations. By allowing residents to select their own materials and decide how their pumpkins would look, we created an opportunity for purposeful engagement, self-expression, and meaningful social connections. At Bickford of Chesapeake, we believe that meaningful moments happen when residents have the freedom to make choices, share their talents, and simply enjoy being themselves. And sometimes, those moments come with a whole lot of laughter! Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care
