At Bickford Senior Living, we know that music is so much more than just entertainment. It is a powerful connection to memories, emotions, and moments that make life special. Music helps enrich our Residents' emotional, cognitive, physical, and social well-being. Through live musical performances and fun sing-alongs, we bring familiar songs to life, spark cherished memories, encourage connections, and fill our days with smiles and laughter. Because sometimes, one familiar song can bring back a lifetime of beautiful memories! We believe music plays such an important role in our Residents' lives, and we are always happy to fill our home with a little extra song and a lot of smiles!

This is our Fox Rehab Physical Therapist Grace working with a Resident. She works with the Residents at Bickford of Aurora in both Assisted Living and Montessori Memory Care. She is amazing! Helping our Residents stay strong, ambulating, working on balance and gait training, and reducing their risk of falling. Thank you Grace! #higherpath#assistedliving#montessorimemorycare

Happy Halloween from our Bickford family! What a spooktacular day filled with costumes, creative crafts, fun movies, and, of course, lots of yummy treats! We had so much fun celebrating and making sweet memories together. Wishing everyone a safe and happy Halloween!

Today, we took advantage of this beautiful fall day with a cozy bonfire and delicious s’mores! There’s nothing quite like gathering around a fire, sharing smiles, and making sweet memories on a crisp autumn day! A big thank you to Jerry for keeping the fire going and helping make our fall bonfire and s’mores such a special day for our Residents! We appreciate you helping create these wonderful moments and memories!

Flu Vaccines have been administered! By taking proactive steps to prevent illness, we can work together to help keep our residents healthy, engaged, and thriving throughout the fall and winter months. Thank you for partnering with us in making wellness a priority. #HigherPath #BickfordSeniorLiving #ProactiveCare #FluPrevention #ResidentWellness

Today our Residents got creative as we melted crayons and watched the colorful wax drip down our pumpkins! It was so much fun watching the colors melt, blend, and create unique designs. Every pumpkin turned out one of a kind! We love bringing creativity, purposeful activities, and a little fall magic into our Residents’ day!

Nothing beats a good old-fashioned game of dominoes! Just ask the gentlemen in Mary B’s! From friendly competition to great conversation, it’s all about keeping minds active, enjoying familiar pastimes, and making memories with friends.

Today, both Mary B’s and Assisted Living enjoyed a wonderful musical performance by George Nicholson! His beautiful hymns filled the room with joy as our Residents sang along, sharing smiles, memories, and moments of connection. A huge thank you to George Nicholson for sharing his talent and making today so special for our Residents!

Today, our Residents rolled up their sleeves and helped William peel carrots to prepare for dinner! These purposeful moments are a wonderful example of living the Montessori way at Bickford of Aurora. By participating in everyday tasks, our Residents stay engaged, share meaningful conversations, and continue doing the things that make them feel valued and involved.
