September Birthdays + Joyful Sounds = One unforgettable Friday! We had a blast celebrating our September birthdays this month—and what made it even more special? The amazing Joyful Sounds brought their energy to our community! From John Denver to The Judds, the hits kept coming—and that was just the beginning! The dining room was snappin’, clappin’, and singin’ along to all the classics. It was pure joy seeing everyone involved!! Here’s to our fabulous September birthday’s!!! #septemberbirthdaycelebration #JoyfulSounds #septembervibes #bickfordofburlington #singalongandsmiles

Ladies' Coffee Time at Bickford of Burlington! This morning, our lovely ladies gathered for a cozy and delicious coffee time—and what a sweet treat it was! We served up marble cake with homemade chocolate frosting along with their choice of coffee or juice to sip and savor. But it wasn’t just about the cake and coffee—we also had some fun sharing fascinating coffee facts! Did you know… • Beethoven was such a perfectionist, he brewed his coffee with exactly 60 beans. • The term “Cup of Joe” is just a fun nickname for coffee! • And believe it or not, it was goats who first discovered coffee—after herders noticed how energetic they became after nibbling on coffee cherries! Lots of laughter, sweet moments, and maybe even a new appreciation for our favorite morning drink! We love spending these special moments together—just one of the many ways we make life a little sweeter here at Bickford of Burlington. #BickfordofBurlington #ladiescoffeetime #funfactsaboutcoffee

Every bite was met with smiles, and lots of happy hearts. Thank you for making today extra special—our community is sweeter because of you! #cherriesjubileeday #madewithlove #enrichinghappiness

What a fun and creative way to kick off Fall! We were so excited to welcome Nicole from Art center of Burlington! First, everyone carefully traced their pumpkins with pencil, then brought them to life with vibrant oil pastels — step by step. Each pumpkin turned out totally unique, full of color, character, and a whole lot of heart. We are so proud of the amazing artwork our residents created. Beautiful job, everyone! And a big thank you to Nicole for sharing her time and talent with us. #pumpkinart #creativeart #artcentervisit #fallfun

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
