If you think there’s not much going on in a senior living community, you’ve never been to Bickford.

What’s a better way to spend a rainy day than with a movie and some popcorn?
Also, an additional snack of deviled eggs for National Egg Day :)

Yesterday was a perfect day for a walk around Ames and an outing to get some ice cream :)

Happy World Otter Day!
We spent our day crafting away, getting in some leg exercises and enjoying the presence of each other :)

Men’s club back in action for this month!
The guys absolutely love this time with Brian. We’re so thankful to have him apart of the team and making each work day better for the residents and staff.

Fri-YAY Fun!
Happy World Turtle Day! Big thank you to Spock’s Sanctuary for coming by this morning to give us a hands on presentation about a few of their turtles they have. We also indulged in some exercise this morning and happy hour this afternoon :)
We hope everyone has a great weekend

How that one saying go?
A cookie a day keeps the doctor away.
That right isn’t it?
Today we enjoyed bible study with pastor Greg, old westerns, plenty of social time, giggles, and memories made with of course some chocolate chip cookies :)

Manicures and cake! What could get better than that.
We spent the day pampering everyone in the building, going for a nice walk, eating cake to celebrate all the May birthdays and having Pearl Vision come by to check on our residents who have glasses. We are going to end the night with a nice documentary and some popcorn!
We hope everyone had a nice Tuesday :)

There’s something special about sharing a cup of coffee and good conversation. This morning, I had the pleasure of sitting down with a few of our residents — no agenda, just time to chat and connect.
We talked about everything from weekend plans and favorite recipes to memories from years gone by. These moments are small, but they’re meaningful. Looking forward to more mornings like this.

Dave Watson had us boogieing around this past Friday getting ready for the weekend :)
We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and let’s get this week off to a great start!
