We celebrated family night this week for our Memory Care. Having different sections to have snacks, decorate photo frames, music and pinning on the map for our background. Got to sample pie & hot apple cider. We enjoyed sharing stories from our past and making new memories. #Memorycare #Familynight #October #Activities #Bickfordseniorliving

Every Friday Lilly our activities director for assisted living does manicures. From long red nails to just filing and doing clear. Clear is our most popular on men and women! They like the classic clean look. This past Friday our resident Che-Che enjoyed getting her red nails manicure and loved getting to spend some one on one time with Lilly. They shared stories about pampering and self care. Always having some giggles between the both of them. If you have a resident looking for some extra nail care let either Lilly or Davida know and they will be happy to help out. First come first serve for Friday services but the activity has plenty of time for room visits as well. Everyone deserves self care!! #Selfcare #Assistedliving #Pampering #Activity #Nailcare

Marlise’s Journey: Finding Connection, Purpose, and Community Again When Marlise joined our assisted living community, she arrived at a tender crossroads in her life. After spending time at home feeling isolated and longing for companionship, she made the courageous decision to seek a place where she could reconnect—with others, with purpose, and with herself. Her transition carried an added layer of emotion: her beloved husband, who had once been a resident here, had passed away. Returning to the same community he called home was both a step toward healing and a way of honoring the life they shared. From the moment Marlise walked through our doors, her gentle warmth was unmistakable. She has a natural ability to make friends easily—something that has helped her rebuild a sense of belonging and joy. Whether she’s chatting with someone new in the hallway or sitting beside a familiar face during an activity, Marlise brings a kindness that makes others feel seen and valued. And she doesn’t just participate—she contributes. Marlise loves activities, from social gatherings to creative projects to community events. She shows up with enthusiasm, ready to engage, laugh, and enjoy the moment. But what truly sets her apart is the way she cares for the people around her. She checks in on other residents, offers help when someone needs a hand, and brings a comforting presence to anyone who might be having a difficult day. Her compassion has become one of the quiet strengths of our community. In many ways, Marlise’s story is one of rediscovery. She came to us seeking companionship, and in return, she found connection, purpose, and a renewed sense of joy. Her journey reminds us that healing often happens through community—and that even after profound loss, new chapters can be filled with friendship, meaning, and light. Marlise is not just part of our community. She enriches it. #Higherpathsuccessstory

Getting to move around in the morning and get their blood circulating. This movement lasts about 30 minutes and is always highly requested. Another fan favorite recently has been JUMBO connect 4. Playing in two teams and completing to see which team will connect 4 first. Allowing coordination and movement as well as strategic strategies. #Movement #Assistedliving #Zumba #Bickford
