What a beautiful Wednesday morning to get out and about! We decided to take our residents on a little trip down south to Fort Madison, and what a lovely adventure it turned out to be. We cruised along the mighty Mississippi River and soaked in some stunning views — from the peaceful water to the vibrant flowers in bloom. A real highlight? The beautifully restored train down by the port! Our residents were amazed — it looked brand new, and brought back some fond memories for many. Fresh air, great company, and a change of scenery — we couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend the morning! #outandabout #adventuresoutthere #fortmadisonriverfront

We're off to a cozy and fun start for National Assisted Living Week here at Bickford of Burlington! Who doesn’t love a good pajama day—especially on a Monday? Our residents and staff kicked off the week in ultimate comfort, enjoying one of our favorite themed days! We were also thrilled to welcome Ryan Bizarri to our community yesterday! He brought the house down with classics from George Jones, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and many more. The smiles and toe-tapping were contagious! Stay tuned—more fun and festivities to come all week long! #assistedlivingweek #bickfordofburlington #pajamaday #musicandmemories

"Assisted Living Isn’t About Leaving Home… It’s About Gaining a Family ❤️" When people think about assisted living, they often focus on what's being left behind. But what if we told you it's more about what you're gaining? At Bickford Senior Living, we believe that moving in doesn't mean giving up your independence — it means gaining a community that cares. It's morning coffee with new friends, shared laughter in the dining room, and knowing that someone is always nearby when you need them. It's not the end of a chapter — it's the beginning of a new one, filled with connection, safety, and joy. Come visit us and feel the difference — because here, you're not just a resident… you're family. <3 #AssistedLivingWithHeart #SeniorLiving #WhateverItTakes #NotJustAPlaceToLive

What a beautiful day to be outside! Our residents enjoyed a sunny afternoon filled with laughter, connection, and some sweet treats. They indulged in Macadamia nut cookies—choosing between creamy white chocolate or rich milk chocolate—and sipped on refreshing mocktails made with pineapple juice, a splash of Sprite, and the perfect cherry on top. The sound of birds chirping, conversations flowing, and smiles all around made this afternoon truly special. It's these simple moments of joy, friendship, and fresh air that warm the soul and remind us how sweet life can be. #bickfordofburlington #sunshineandsmiles #enrichinghappiness #heartwarmingmoments

We spent our morning bowling in honor of National Bowling League Day — and let us tell you, our residents made the A-Team today! We may not have official jerseys or trophies, but here at Bickford of Burlington, we’re definitely a league of our own. There were plenty of strikes, spares, and lots of smiles to go around. Here’s to friendly competition, laughter, and making every day special. #makingmemories #aleagueofourown #bowlingfun

Friendship and connection never go out of style! For seniors, staying socially active is just as important as physical health. Regular socialization helps boost mood, reduce feelings of loneliness, and even support overall wellness At Bickford Senior Living, neighbors quickly become friends through shared meals, activities, and meaningful moments together. It’s more than a place to live, it’s a place to belong! If someone you love is looking for more socialization— call Dakota at 319-371-7572 to book a tour!

**National Ice cream pie day** Yesterday, our residents celebrated in the sweetest way possible—with delicious strawberry ice cream pie topped with fresh strawberries! Our residents couldn’t get enough of this refreshing summer treat. One even said she could eat it for every meal—and wouldn’t mind starting with it as her appetizer! Moments like these are what make our days so special—laughter, smiles, and a whole lot of ice cream pie joy. Here's to simple pleasures and sweet celebrations! #Icecreampieday #Strawberrydelight #Enrichinghappiness

Starting the week off right! Some of our lovely ladies came in this Monday morning to treat themselves to a little TLC — fresh nails, bright smiles, and great conversation.
