Early morning Christmas craft to start the day off.

Excellent work, Maggie Depew, you have made significant progress in your physical therapy.

Ama Traylor celebrated her 81st birthday here at Bickford of Middletown on November 13th. She celebrated with her family and some old friends and many new friends here at Bickford. In the 1980’s Ama along with her daughter Cindy sang with the Queen City Chapter of Sweet Adeline Chorus that rehearsed in Milford, Ohio. Sweet Adelines is a women’s barbershop organization that sings in four part, unaccompanied harmony. Sweet Adeline choruses generally compete in a regional competition once a year, as well as performing an original show in their community annually. Many lifelong friendships are formed and quite often, if people are unable to continue active membership, they are still quite passionate about the art form. Because Ama is one of those people, Ama’s long time Sweet Adeline friends arranged for the “That’s It!” quartet to come to Bickford to help Ama celebrate her birthday. Ama was delighted to be able to share her special birthday entertainment with many of her new friends here at Bickford.

Debray music today, which the residents enjoyed.

Save the date!

We're grateful to everyone who joined us to meet Chris Mattock, our new Executive Director. The event allowed for valuable connections with residents, families, and staff and discussion of community updates. Our thanks also go to Marisa, Bread Basket Manager, for providing the delicious dips.

That time of year again!!!

Lunch bunch at Frisch’s……., Delicous!

Dolly was a secretary in a secure department at Western Electric during WW2. There's a set of Army Air Corps wings pinned to the patch (that she wore because her future husband was a pilot.) She often talked about how they'd have lunchtime entertainment and dances to keep the workers' morale up during wartime. She maintained friendships with 3 of the women in her department long after the war ended. She's also holding a booklet of ration coupons since the war effort took priority people at home had to make sacrifices too.
