Week With Andy & Pearl ,So Much Holiday Joy! What a FUN and heart-warming week we’ve had with our Christmas elves, Andy & Pearl! This year, we made sure they weren’t just getting into mischief on their own, they spent their days doing what they love most… hanging out with our residents. Here’s a little look at what they’ve been up to this week: Scroll through the pictures. #AndyAndPearl #ElfOnTheShelf #SeniorLivingJoy #AssistedLivingLife #MemoryCareMoments #HolidayHappiness #MakingMemories #ResidentLife #bickfordofgi

Spa-liday Moments at Bickford The holidays can get busy, so we slowed things down and treated our residents to a little merry & bright self-care. We enjoyed festive aromatherapy with the scents of Christmas, calming hand massages with holiday-scented lotions, and a little nail-pampering to make everyone feel refreshed and ready for the season. A gentle reminder to take time to relax, unwind, and breathe in the joy of this special time of year. You deserve it. #SpaLiday #HolidayJoy #SeniorLivingMagic #RelaxAndUnwind #assistedliving #SeniorLiving

A Night of Remembrance & Love Last night we gathered for our annual Cardinal Memorial, and it was truly a beautiful and heartfelt evening. We reminisced, shared memories, and honored the loved ones we’ve said goodbye to this year. The connections we build with our residents and their families are beyond words. These moments remind us why we do what we do, because every life here matters, and every family becomes part of our own. The connections we make with our residents and their families go far beyond daily care… they become relationships we treasure. We walk beside each other through joy, challenges, and even the tender goodbyes. And nights like this bring us all a little closer, reminding us that love continues in so many ways. A warm thank you to our local St. Croix Hospice team for helping us host this meaningful event each year. Your compassion and partnership mean so much to us and to the families we serve. May the memories shared last night bring comfort, peace, and warmth to every heart. #bickfordofgi #seniorliving #AssistedLiving #CardinalMemorial

At Bickford of Grand Island, we believe every resident deserves the opportunity to stay active and confident. Through collaboration with local therapy providers, we offer programs that help residents maintain mobility—whether it’s walking to activities, dancing down the hallway, or simply moving with greater steadiness and balance. Whether a resident is here for a short-term stay or calls Bickford home, we empower them to build strength and confidence through therapy and maintenance activities. Every step forward is a step toward independence and a more vibrant life! #higherpath #bickfordofgi #alf #seniorliving

Gingerbread Fun! This afternoon was all smiles, sweet treats, and just the right amount of messy! Our residents had the best time decorating gingerbread houses — laughing, creating, and sprinkling holiday magic everywhere. There’s something timeless about icing-covered fingers, candy everywhere, and the joy of building something together. These moments remind us that the simple traditions often bring the biggest smiles. Nothing beats traditions that make us feel like kids again. #GingerbreadJoy #SweetMemories #HolidayFun #AssistedLivingLife #MemoryCareMoments #ChristmasTraditions #SeasonToSmile #CommunityJoy #HolidayMagic #seniorliving #bickfordofgi

We missed posting this yesterday, but we didn’t wanna miss the chance to celebrate one of our wonderful gentlemen here at Bickford, Denny Happy Birthday! We hope your day was filled with smiles and good company!

We have been loving all the visits our residents are getting this season… especially the ones with four legs and a heart of gold. Shadow the miniature horse stopped by, and he brought so much joy, comfort, and pure love to our home. He looked extra festive in his Christmas attire, and our residents absolutely adored every moment with him. Thank you, Shadow, for brightening our day in the sweetest way. #ShadowTheMiniHorse #SeniorLivingJoy #HolidayVisits #TherapyAnimals #MakingMemories #FourLeggedFriend #HeartOfGold #ResidentSmiles #FestiveFun #assistedliving #SeniorLiving #bickfordofgi
