We had the pleasure of listening to Kent play a wide variety of songs with his accordion, and sing some sweet tunes! Our residents loved reminiscing and hearing the old classics! Did you know music has so many positive benefits for your mental and physical wellbeing? #whateverittakes

If you want to send Miss Mary a birthday card to help her celebrate turning 105, we recommend having them in the mail by Monday the 29th so that they arrive in time for her birthday on the 1st!

**HIGHER PATH** Our HWD Nyssa and several of our BFMs had been noticing that Miss Pauline was feeling down and having pains that she just couldn't get to go away. Through documentation, lots of conversation with Miss Pauline and her family we were able to come up with a plan. With the help of members of our Higher Path team we have gotten Miss Pauline back to feeling like her old self again. She hasn't been complaining of pain anymore and her overall mood has been amazing! And in her own words she states "Every day is not perfect, but I feel remarkably better thanks to you girls!" #AssistedLiving #HigherPath #BickfordSeniorLiving #Happiness #WhateverItTakes
