Many thanks to Megan with Echo Hospice for her delightful story telling abilities! She made our Halloween party extra spooky at Bickford of Bexley Assisted Living and Memory Care.

The Halloween Pet Parade was a huge success at Bickford of Bexley Assisted Living and Memory Care! From large to small we had them all! What a fun spooky day, and a big thank you to all who brought their furry friends to spend time with us!

Being an activity director, better yet, a HAPPINESS coordinator at Bickford of Bexley Assisted Living and Memory Care is the best job in the world! Not just because I get to call bingo or do craft class, but because I get to meet and build friendships with the coolest people in town! Just like just spending time with this guy... a doctor of social work back in the day, and an artist at heart, with the best smile in the world!

Good friends, good food, and great service! That's exactly what the residents of Bickford of Bexley Assisted Living and Memory Care enjoyed today at a neighborhood staple of over 50 years! T.A.T. ristorante di famiglia! Good old-fashioned Italian comfort food at its finest, right in our own backyard. Yum!

What a beautiful day we had for our last ride of the season here at Bickford of Bexley Assisted Living and Memory Care.

Enjoy photos of several homes!

We’re Officially Bronze Certified! Bickford of Bexley Assisted Living & Memory Care is proud to announce that we’ve earned our Bronze Certification in the Montessori Inspired Lifestyle — an evidence-based, resident-centered approach to care. Rooted in the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori and adapted for older adults by The Center for Applied Research in Dementia, this philosophy is the foundation of everything we do. It means our residents live in a resident-driven community where: - They choose and lead purposeful activities - Independence is nurtured and celebrated - Lifelong learning is encouraged - Their home reflects their passions and choices Our care team pledges to uphold these values every day, creating a place where dignity, respect, and personal growth thrive. We’re honored to celebrate this milestone and excited for what’s ahead. #MontessoriInspired #BronzeCertified #BickfordOfBexley #SeniorLivingWithPurpose #MemoryCareMatters #ResidentDrivenCommunity

Something truly beautiful has grown out of our Memory Care Family Nights at Bickford of Bexley. This week’s theme was Family History Night, where residents and their loved ones came together to fill out family trees. These gatherings are more than just activities — they’re moments of connection, understanding, and shared compassion. Families caring for loved ones with dementia often carry similar emotions and challenges, and these evenings create a space where they can lean on each other, celebrate memories, and feel seen. At Bickford of Bexley, we believe in nurturing not just our residents, but the families who love them. It’s what makes our community feel like home! #BickfordOfBexley #AssistedLiving #MemoryCare #FamilyNight #Home

On the agenda today: Resin Coasters with all the fun charms to make them each unique pieces of art! And what’s crafting without cookies?! Our Happiness Coordinator, Bonnie, hosts the best activities and truly listens to what our residents want to do. In fact, this activity was something that a resident requested! Honoring our residents in special requests like this is something we do best here at Bickford of Bexley Assisted Living & Memory Care! Come see why Bickford is HOME

It was kinda poignant, our last walk of the season to Johnson's Ice Cream, but we will see you next spring! And thanks for the great times, memories, family, and friends! OH, and of course, all those delicious flavors!
