We had an amazing time playing Bingo and just having fun on our 80’s day for National Assisted Living Week! We are definitely “Shining Through the Years!

It has been one groovy day! We have some groovy fun throughout the day! Our Bingo game was out of sight! Our National Assisted Living Week has been full of celebration for the entire community! During our 70s social, sponsored by Bayada, residents created groovy necklaces that are so creative. We are grateful for nurse Amber from Bayada for the snacks that she brought for residents and BFMs! She has a wonderful way of spreading a little sunshine each time she comes!

Peace, love, and plenty of fun filled our Sensational ’60s Day! Our Pet Therapy friends, Piku and Farzana, joined us for the celebration as residents and BFMs enjoyed wearing peace-sign medallion necklaces, colorful shades, and flower headbands. We were definitely feeling the ’60s spirit! Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care.

Hooray to ACG Hospice for hosting our ice cream bars party as we sat on the front porch. We kept our 60s vibe all the way through with musical tunes along the way. This certainly was a time of social interactions and a way to create new memories! The breeze was nice as Melissa and Michelle passed out some gifts and ice cream! We are so thankful for their sponsorship and love for our community! Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care

Our Roaring 20s day was amazing as residents wore their fedoras and flapper headbands during our Bickford Jam. DJ Sarah (resident) kept us entertained with great tunes as we danced to music from one decade to another! There’s more fun to come as we celebrate National Assisted Living Week!

National Assisted Living Week celebrations are underway! We are so grateful to Suncrest Hospice for sponsoring a Kona Ice shaved-ice experience for our community! Our residents chose their favorite flavors, and we shared plenty of laughs while enjoying our delicious treats together on the front porch. We also celebrated our September birthday babies with a wonderful jazz concert featuring Ken Keller. We always love hearing him play and sing! And, of course, we had a little fun dressing up and partying through the decades for our Rock N’ Roll 50s Day! Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care

We’re celebrating National Assisted Living Week at Bickford of Chesapeake! Every role at Bickford plays an important part in enriching the lives of our residents and making our Branch feel like home. We are so grateful for the dedication, compassion, and love our team brings each day—and we love having the opportunity to celebrate them! A special thank-you to Fox Rehab for generously sponsoring a delicious pizza lunch for our amazing team! Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care

Our goal is to enhance resident engagement through Montessori-based activities with Averett University’s nursing students which is a wonderful program called Project Love Meter! Our residents love the relationships and connections they build each week with the students. We are so grateful for their participation in facilitating our Bickford Jam this Monday on our first day of Assisted Living Week. It was our Roaring 20’s day which was a blast!

We are grateful for our friends at Fox Rehab and especially Jessica, who educates our residents each month on topics that support their health, safety, and independence. Today’s focus was “fall prevention”, providing our residents with helpful tips to stay safe and reduce their risk of falls. Thank you, Jessica, and the entire Fox Rehab team, for all you do for our residents! Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care
