Lee is the holder of our Tea Time at 11am each Friday. She invites the ladies in to have a conversation over a topic that she has decided for that day. This is a good opportunity for newer and long-lasting residents to get to know each other and chat in peace. This fits our Montessori aspect due to it being resident-led. Lee also holds a “no-guilt Bible study” every Sunday at 2pm- where they talk about the Bible with no judgement. Lee is an inviting, bright spirit who loves to share stories through our facility. We appreciate all that Lee does for our residents and for our facility.

This morning I have our resident Che-Che helping me sort some stickers for a fall craft that we are doing later this week. From our Montessori approach we have been involving “Jobs” into the residents life. When living in Assisted a living residents sometimes search for a meaning or purpose. A lot of the time they offer to help with things and want to be useful. Things like sorting stickers, helping put away chairs and tables, color coordinate the bookshelf and much more are just some examples of “Jobs” that we can have the residents do. They love the feeling of being helpful and they are rewarded in return. #Montessori #Assistedliving #Stickers #Crafts #Wednesday

We’ve been having some very busy days around Bickford of Bexley recently. Lots of learning how to play new games such as scrabble, bingo, and UNO! The residents have enjoyed this time together getting to learn more about each other as well. Even trying a new spot for BINGO during the day. We look forward to possibly starting some Euchre. Sing-a-longs have become a daily thing here. Getting to share new music with each other as well as older memories from their childhood. As well as learning new songs!

There was no better way to celebrate the season than with our Trick-or-Treat Class last week! Residents, families, and team members enjoyed an afternoon filled with laughter, sweet treats, and special moments together. Events like these remind us that home is more than a place; it's the connections we make and the memories we share. If you've been considering assisted living for yourself or a loved one, we'd love to welcome you to our family. We currently have one Assisted Living studio available and invite you to come see what life at Bickford is all about. Schedule a tour today before this opportunity is gone! #LifeAtBickford #AssistedLiving #SeniorLiving #FamilyFirst #NowTouring

This morning we had lots of Halloween fun from Candy baskets, to spider ring toss and even a visit from our mad scientist Meghan. We enjoyed learning the science behind the throwing up pumpkin. We are ending our morning with Charlie Brown and the Great Big pumpkin. We are all in the Halloween spirits. Thank you Mad scientist Meghan for your time and support this Halloween. #Halloween #Pumpkin #Assistedliving #Science #Activities

Yesterday we welcomed Ms. Dolan’s first-grade class from Maryland Elementary School for a trick or treat event. Enjoyed an afternoon filled with candy, smiles, dancing, costumes and much more! Having time that both residents and students will remember for a lifetime. The kids surprised us with some Halloween dances that they practiced. Residents passed out candy and toys to the students. We can’t wait to have them all back next year. #Assistedliving #Halloween #Fallactivity #Community #Autumn

At Bickford of Bexley we work on providing our residents with the best Montessori Engagement as possible. Kim is one of our residents who shines through this technique. When Lilly our Activity Director for assisted living first started in June Kim was anxious and avoidant. Through community, connection & finding her own way she is flourishing. Kim has been enjoying painting, shopping at the bickford boutique, outings, going on walks, morning movement (chair Zumba), reading the daily chronicle and so much. She is always one of the first to offer to help with setup or clean up of activities and allowing her that freedom to help she has really found her way!! We love you Kim❤️

We had a ball at our October Family Night for Assisted Living. Thanks to Kroger & Johnsons ice cream for providing us with some yummy treats. We shared stories, laughed and made new memories. From Halloween mad libs to spooky scavenger hunt the residents and families had a blast. We loved getting to see everyone and chat. The next Assisted Living Family Night will be on November 18th from 6-7pm! Come join us for some more fall fun.

Welcome Home to Bickford of Bexley! We are excited to welcome our newest resident to the Bickford family!
