The baking club has proven to be a resounding success within the residents' activities. To commemorate National Pizza Day, the residents crafted their own pizzas and were delighted with the outcome of their culinary creations. This was followed by a game of balloon volleyball to offset the calories and carbohydrates from the pizzas consumed. #AssistedLiving #MontessoriMemoryCare #BickfordofCrystalLakeSeniorLiving #ActivityDirectorOverload

It was a productive day with our AL and MB residents, who participated in the drumming circle as their physical exercises in the morning. This was followed by bingo in the afternoon.

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.

We look forward to next summer. #AssistedLiving #MontessoriMemoryCare #BickfordofCrystalLakeSeniorLiving #ActivityDirectorOverload
