Your loved one deserves to live the best life possible

Watch your loved one thrive in an environment that feels like home

Navigating the aging journey is difficult.

We understand what’s at stake here: it’s not just someone, it’s your loved one.

Meanwhile, it’s on you to make the difficult decisions.

There's a Higher Path for our seniors

Senior care today is reactive, expensive, and siloed. It’s a sick-care system, not a health-care system (designed to keep seniors healthy). Most of us have accepted this status quo because it feels too big and complex to change. Not us. We’re taking the road less traveled and championing a higher standard of senior care.

Thank you to our consistently dedicated volunteers at McHenry Cycling Without Age. You provided additional happiness and satisfaction to our residents throughout the summer and fall seasons, offering them the opportunity to explore the neighborhood by assisting them on your remarkable Tribike. The experiences were filled with laughter, excitement, and joy, despite the occasional scream on bumpy roads, warmth and cold weather. We look forward to next summer. #AssistedLiving #MontessoriMemoryCare #BickfordofCrystalLakeSeniorLiving #ActivityDirectorOverload

What an amazing Halloween Family Bingo Night! We had an incredibly enjoyable time filled with laughter, refreshments, and treats.

One of our residents in AL shared her secret recipe for cinnamon rolls. She prepared and shared her secret ingredients. Both AL and MB eagerly await the opportunity to taste the finished products of her delicious cinnamon rolls. And everyone's stomach filled up with delicious cinnamon roll, some of them asked for more and saved some for their breakfast. What a busy day.. #AssistedLiving #MontessoriMemoryCareProgram #BickfordofCrystalLake

Our AL and MB residents participated in a fall decoration crafting activity. Most created a colorful owl and a fashion-conscious scarecrow. The remainder crafted a candle holder adorned with leaves of various colors. What a vibrant Monday in our community. Full of meaningful and interesting activities.. #AssistedLiving #MontessoriMemoryCare #BickfordofCrystalLakeSeniorLiving #ActivityDirectorOverload

The residents and their families thoroughly enjoyed the live music performances during our community's Oktoberfest celebration, which featured polka music and dance. The traditional German fare, including beer, pretzels, cookies, and refreshments, added to the festivities. The event was deemed a success, as it brought immense joy and satisfaction to our residents, who cherished the experience. We extend our gratitude to Transitions Hospice for their generous sponsorship of the live music and some treats. #AssistedLiving #MontessoriMemoryCare #BickfordofCrystalLake #ActivityDirectorOverload

We celebrated National Pierogi Day, and one of our residents prepared a delicious Pierogi for everyone. This was followed by a game of Balloon Volleyball to burn off the consumed calories. It was a highly productive day for our AL and MB residents. Way to go folks! #ActivityDirectorOverload #AssistedLiving #MontessoriMemoryCareProgram #BickfordofCrystaLakeSeniorLiving

Our residents were filled with joy and enthusiasm while participating in our daily activities. Over the past few days, we organized bingo games with candy prizes, which were a huge hit among the residents. We also hosted a Meet and Greet session, providing an opportunity for our new residents to get acquainted. Some of them shared their most memorable moments, particularly those related to their professional experiences. Additionally, we had a Coffee and Tea social gathering. Every day, our residents looked forward to their daily routine activities. Cornhole was a hit as well. During the day, they had the chance to take a ride through the neighborhood in a Trishaw sponsored by McHenry Cycling Without Age, followed by a Sing Along session with our loyal volunteer who played the piano. Of course, happy hour was a favorite among the residents, who eagerly awaited the chance to enjoy their preferred wine. It was an incredible week and we look forward to upcoming and interesting fun activities.. #AssistedLiving #MontessoriMemoeyCare #BickfordCrystalLakeSeniorLiving #ActivityDirectorOverload

What an enjoyable Monday with our AL MB residents, who delighted in walking around the neighborhood and created a fall tree as our seasonal craft.
