Resident Nancy recently joined our Health and Wellness Director, Jasmine, during an interview with a potential team member. With her background as a successful business owner, Nancy asked sharp, thoughtful questions that added real value to the conversation. Jasmine shared how refreshing it was to have her perspective, and Nancy left feeling purposeful and appreciated. This is the heart of our Montessori approach—creating opportunities for residents to share their skills, make choices, and contribute in ways that matter. When residents are invited to use their talents and life experiences, they don’t just participate—they feel valued, respected, and truly connected to their community.

When we look good, we feel good—at any age. For our residents, a visit to the salon is more than a haircut, it’s a boost of confidence, a reason to smile, and a reminder of their unique style. Jennifer, our talented hairdresser in Buzzcuts and Beehives, knows just how to bring out the best in each person. Fresh styles, conversation, and a little pampering go a long way toward brightening the day. Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care

Goose, a resident’s family dog, stopped by for a visit today. Dogs often spark conversation, encourage movement, and create a relaxed atmosphere for our residents. Visits like these are a simple but effective way to support social connection and engagement in our community. Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care

Every week, our residents at Bickford of Chesapeake look forward to a special time of reflection and encouragement with Jerry from River Oak Church, who leads heartfelt devotionals that bring comfort, hope, and connection. Providing spiritual opportunities for seniors is an important part of supporting their overall well-being—nurturing not just the body and mind, but also the soul. These moments of prayer, scripture, and conversation remind us all of the power of faith, community, and purpose at every stage of life. We’re so grateful for Jerry’s dedication and for the joy and peace these devotionals bring to our Bickford family. Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care

Tom had a great workout today with Fox Rehab, showing just how powerful proactive therapy can be. Rather than waiting for injury or decline, Tom is staying on the Higher Path by building strength, improving balance, and maintaining his independence. Therapy isn’t just for recovery—it’s a key part of staying strong, mobile, and confident as we age. Way to go, Tom, for putting in the work and showing that staying active is the best kind of prevention. #HealthyAging #ProactiveCare #FoxRehab #HigherPath Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care
