The mission in Memory Care today was to fashion a Christmas tree pin out of straws, pipe cleaners, and beads. The residents chose the colors, and with a little help, were successful in creating fun accessories for the holidays! What do you think?

The holidays have a way of revealing just how much our loved ones may need a little extra care, comfort, and connection. If you've noticed changes—missed meals, increased forgetfulness, or signs of loneliness—this season could be the perfect time to explore a new path forward. At Bickford, our Home for the Holidays Retreat Stay offers families a chance to experience the warmth, safety, and joy of assisted living without a long-term commitment. It’s a cozy, compassionate way to ease into care while celebrating the season with dignity and peace of mind. Let your loved one enjoy festive meals, meaningful connection, and personalized support—all wrapped in holiday cheer. Call Joshua at 219-388-6160 to learn more and schedule a tour—we’ll be open the weekend following Thanksgiving and would love to welcome you in. Let’s make this season merry, bright, and beautifully supported.

Las Jacarandas Mexican Grill was our most recent outing at Bickford of Crown Point, and it was a huge hit. Cozy, but oozing with charm and very popular with locals. Everything was authentic, including our waitress, whose charming accent was so thick, she had to repeat herself frequently! Very freshly made food and large portions made for some very pleased residents! Did you notice the very large bowl of Caldo de Res our Manny attempted to finish? Was he successful? Not even close - he needed two containers to take the leftovers home! Most of the residents were able to clean their plates though - myself included!

Keeping busy is a breeze at Bickford of Crown Point! With such an amazing group of residents, there is always someone initiating an activity. From crafting and puzzles, to fitness and playing dominoes, variety truly is the spice of life!

Bickford of Crown Point had a recent visit from “Joyful Noise,” the talented musical group from Bethel Church. They engaged our residents with beautiful piano playing and encouraged the residents to accompany them by providing a hymnal. It was a well-attended program and the residents enjoyed the fellowship and devotion. Thank you Joyful Noise!

After an inspirational introduction to our Veterans Day program, our Executive Director, Beth, invited each of our Veteran residents up to present them with their photo. These photos are part of a special wall space dedicated to those who served our country without hesitation. It was an emotional experience for all who attended and a heartfelt expression of appreciation to all Veterans.

A few residents at Bickford of Crown Point offered to lend a hand in creating a Fall themed garland for both Assisted Living and Mary B’s. Together, we were able to get it done in no time, and not only is it super cute, but we had a great time doing it!
