We had a thoroughly enjoyable experience this week as we commemorated National Assisted Living Week, from start to finish, with events such as Grandparents' Day, where the grand children and great grand children celebrated with us, Dress Your Best Day, with dance and music party, Western Day, Sports Day, where the residents played table tennis, balloon volleyball, and cooked yummy chili soup. Hawaiian Day was a resounding success, and Pajama Day, which allowed the residents to relax and watch a movie with popcorn, was also highly enjoyable. #NALW2025 #AgelessAdventure #Memory Care #AssistedLiving #BickfordofCrysyalLake

We hosted a highly successful Luau Party for our Hawaiian Day. Our residents and staff thoroughly enjoyed themselves, taking part in dancing, singing, and refreshments that were truly exceptional. Special recognition is due to our outstanding CNAs, Katie, Jennifer, and Perla, who delivered a captivating Hawaiian dance performance. Additionally, our loyal volunteer Emma, who joined us, played piano with our residents. Thank you so much! #NALW2025 #HawaiianDay #MemoryCare #AssistedLiving #BickfordofCrystalLake

As we commemorated National Assisted Living Week, our community thoroughly enjoyed celebrating with our residents. Yesterday was Dress Your Best Day with music and dance party with our Executive Director, staff and residents. We had a blast on the dance floor. And today is our western day and played cowboy bingo. Our team leaders and residents had so much fun with their western outfits. Yee-haw!

Yesterday sounds like it was a successful and productive day for the residents in our community. Both Mary B’s and Assisted Living had so much fun with our activities. They enjoyed reading books, playing balloon volleyball, dancing and playing puzzles. Everyday is a busy day to keep our residents being fully engaged in a meaningful activity that enhances their well-being. Way to go! Happy Wednesday everyone! #Assisted Living #Memory Care Unit
