Here at Bickford of Bloomington we have been using groundbreaking technology to track the health and vitality of our residents. We have used this technology to prevent falls, eliminate med errors and even track resident cares. Data and new technology can really fine tune the healthcare communities. As much as we love data and numbers, we do like to have a little fun along the way. Each week we will feature one of our lovely residents with their alter egos. This week we have chosen Ms. Lorie Boggs. Ms. Lorie is always concerned that our staff and other residents are healthy and happy. She is a natural born nurturer. This is an intimate portrait of her likeness then, and now. My how time flies.

At Bickford of Bloomington, our Happiness Coordinator Lala really got our residents heart rate pumping. We lifted weights, pulled our resistance bands and of course worked on leg day. What a time to be alive. #AssistedLiving #SeniorLiving
