Cinco de Mayo Fun! We had a blast celebrating Cinco de Mayo today! Residents got moving with the Macarena during our morning exercise, lots of laughs and great energy! We also enjoyed learning fun facts about the history and traditions behind this festive day. Also a special thank you to all our local healthcare friends who stoped for our partnership with Angels Care Home Health for our Cinco de Mayo celebration to go lunch! It's always a joy to blend fun, fitness, learning and friends at Bickfordrd of GI #CincoDeMayo #SeniorLivingFun #ActiveAging #MacarenaMoments

“And they’re off!” We had a Run for the Roses kind of day,celebrating our Kentucky Derby Theme Day — and it was a winner’s circle event! From festive photo ops and fancy hats to mint julep mocktails and horse-themed games, our residents were fully in the Derby spirit. The highlight? A REAL horse trotted in for a special visit, bringing smiles all around! Huge thanks to our amazing BFM, Jenny who brought her horse — you made the day truly un-bridled fun and unforgettable! #KentuckyDerbyDay #AssistedLivingFun #DerbyVibes #RunForTheRoses #bickfordofgi #assistedliving

Community is Everything We want to give a BIG heartfelt thank you to the amazing students from Central Catholic High School, who spent their service day with us! From washing windows and helping with spring cleaning in our courtyard, to painting nails, making beautiful May Day baskets, and playing fun games like Uno — your kindness, energy, and smiles brought so much joy to our home. It means the world to us to see young people showing up and pouring love into our community. You made such a difference, and we are so grateful for your time and hearts. Thank you for reminding us that happiness grows when we serve and connect with one another. #GratefulHearts #CommunityLove #ServiceDayJoy #Happiness #IntergenerationalConnection #ThankYouStudents #assistedliving #SeniorLiving #bickfordofgi

Today was a truly special day at our home as we came together to honor one of our own true American Hero, Richie. St. Croix Hospice provided a heartfelt Veterans Pinning Ceremony and we also presented him with a beautiful Quilt of Valor — a gift stitched with love, respect, and gratitude for his service. Family, friends, residents, and staff all gathered to celebrate him with cake, punch, snacks, and so much joy. The room was filled with smiles, hugs, and a few happy tears as we reflected on the incredible life and sacrifice of someone who has given so much. It was a day full of warmth, pride, and love — a true reminder of the special bonds we share and the deep gratitude we hold for our veterans. We are so blessed to have him as part of our bickford family here. Thank you for your service and your heart. Once a hero, always a hero — and forever part of our family. #VeteransHonor #QuiltofValor #Family #GratefulHearts #AssistedLiving #seniorliving #bickfordseniorliving #bickfordofgi
