Celebrating Our Residents’ Creativity! What a joy it is to see our residents come together and create their own unique masterpieces! Each project reflects their individual talents, personalities, and the incredible effort they pour into their work. Watching their ideas come to life and seeing the final results is truly priceless. “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” – Edgar Degas We’re so proud of the beauty, heart, and creativity that shines through in everything they do. #residentcreations #beautifulartwork #talentedartists #artfromtheheart

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
