Deputy Stewart with his loyal Police dog Rex, brought Deputy Drews along for a demonstration on what can happen if you're the bad guy. On command Rex did his job. 2nd demonstration was on Rex's keen sense of smell. In less than a minute Rex located what he is trained to. A big thank you to the Sheriff's office!

‘Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold’. Lois and Marion have been friends for years, but had not been able to stay in touch much these last few years. Their friendship has been renewed here at Bickford. Look at those beautiful smiles. ❤️

Our residents are proud to remain connected to our community. Recently we have been involved with L’Arch, Clinton County Conservation/Blue Heron cruise as well as the Gateway History Club. We look forward to more adventures soon!

Our fearless leader, Kim Schaffer is 60 today! The BFM’s went all out and decorated the office, had a delicious cake made and got her some great gifts. There was even the Grim Reaper. And the best part, all the BFM’s and the residents were all Kim for the day lol

We had the pleasure of helping the L'Arche celebrate their 50 year mark. We got to meet and made new friends with some of the Core members! As you can see we have some real pumpkin painting talent.

Family History Day Gregg Obren and John Rowland from Gateway History Club visited today and gave a very interesting history lesson on Clinton.
