Sometimes you form an unbreakable bond with a resident. These two wonderful BFM’s (staff) (one current and a previous one) went above and beyond by showing up for a resident who needed a little extra love this Mother’s Day season. What a beautiful act of kindness that brought so much happiness to our resident. #WhateverItTakes #happiness #assistedliving #seniorliving

What a Day Out and About! We soaked up the sunshine and made the most of this beautiful day! Our morning started with a scenic drive around town — admiring new buildings popping up and sharing memories of the way things used to be. It sparked such wonderful stories! Next, we had a great group join us for lunch at a favorite local restaurant, Perkins with laughter and full bellies all around. Afterward, some of our lovely ladies were on a mission: flower shopping! They picked out the prettiest blooms and garden plants to brighten up our courtyard. Of course, all that shopping worked up a thirst, so we made a quick stop for a refreshing drink at Sonic,before heading back to plant our new treasures. It was a busy, joy-filled day full of sunshine, stories, and smiles — just the way we like it! #assistedliving #SeniorLiving #bickfordofgi #happiness

Mother’s Day Charcuterie Celebration Today, our community was filled with love, laughter, and sweet memories as we honored the beautiful mothers who have touched our hearts in countless ways. Our Mother’s Day Charcuterie Event was more than just delicious, it was meaningful. Residents, families, and staff came together to celebrate the women who have given so much love throughout their lives. Every resident received a charcuterie Board with their last name on them as a keepsake . From the carefully crafted charcuterie boards to the tender moments shared, this day was a reminder of the strength, grace, and warmth that mothers bring into the world. Thank you to everyone who made this day unforgettable. And a special THANK YOU to all our BFM’s whoo helped our residents get ready and feel extra special for this event. Below are just a few photos that captured the joy and love that filled the room. #MothersDay #AssistedLivingLove #CherishedMoments #GratefulHearts

On National Nurse's Day, we want to take a moment to honor one of the best: Amanda Brunken, RN, who is a true blessing to Bickford of Grand Island. Amanda was recently nominated for the 2025 Inspire Awards in the Health Care category, as featured in the GI Independent. This recognition is a reflection of her unwavering commitment to not only providing exceptional care but also empowering those around her. Her personal mission, “empowering people to learn so that they live a life without regret,” is something that resonates deeply with all of us who have the privilege of working with her. We at Bickford of Grand Island are so fortunate to have you as part of our family, Amanda. Today, and every day, we celebrate the passion, compassion, and dedication you bring to our branch. Thank you for everything you do! #nationalnursesday #bickfordofgi #assistedliving
