We celebrated Valentine’s Day the best way we know how, together With music playing, a little dancing, sweet cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries, and festive drinks, the room was filled with smiles and laughter. We also watched part of the Pearl Ceremony, which was a true tear-jerker and such a special moment of pride for our home. All in all, it was a beautiful afternoon spent celebrating love, friendship, and the hearts that make this place so special. The love and connection in the room made it clear… award winning hearts truly live here #bickfordofgi #assistedliving #seniorliving

The excitement has been building all week From our Guys & Galentine Social to shopping for fancy clothes and a little pampering, our residents have been preparing for today’s Valentine’s Day celebration. Now they’re all dressed up and ready to enjoy a wonderful afternoon together, filled with love, laughter, and sweet moments. #bickfordofgi #assistedliving #SeniorLiving

Heart healthy month at Bickford National wear red day for heart healthy month we dressed in red and full of heart! Exercise, proper medication, excellent care, nourishing, meals, and meaningful social time all come together to help our residents live healthier, happier lives. We’re proud to support a higher path of care every single day. #bickfordofgi #AssistedLiving #seniorliving #HeartHealthMonth #WearRedDay

Having a loved one on the Higher Path means believing that exceptional care begins long before a need becomes urgent. Being proactive allows us to support each resident with dignity, safety, and purpose — every single day. When we choose the Higher Path, we choose prevention over reaction, compassion over routine, and wellness over worry. Small proactive steps lead to big improvements in quality of life — and that’s what our community is all about. #healthierhappierlonger #HigherPath #AssistedLiving #ProactiveCare #WellnessMatters #SeniorLiving #bickfordofgi

Groundhog Day fun was in full swing today! Our residents made their weather predictions, and even got moving with a lively game of “Whack the Groundhog” (don’t worry Phil survived ). According to the reports, Mr. P saw his shadow, which means winter may be sticking around a bit longer… but the laughter and smiles today definitely warmed our hearts! #bickfordofgi #assistedliving #seniorliving

Let’s work together to keep our community strong, steady, and thriving! #HigherPath #bickfordofgi #FallPrevention #SeniorSafety #HealthyLiving

At Bickford of Grand Island purpose doesn’t retire. Through our Montessori approach, we’re learning something powerful: when residents are given meaningful roles, they don’t just stay busy they feel seen, needed, and proud. One of our residents, a former interior designer, now serves as our Bickford Home Stylist, thoughtfully rearranging pillows and blankets to make our community feel cozy and welcoming just like home. Another proudly wears her Bingo Director badge, confidently calling games and beaming as she shares her role with everyone she meets. Each morning, our Library Helper stops by to ask what her next task will be before heading to the Bickford Book Nook a space she helps care for with such joy and dedication. And in the quiet moments, folding towels becomes more than a task it becomes a way to contribute, to belong, and to feel accomplished. This is Montessori in action. Not activities for residents, but roles with meaning, rooted in who they have always been. Because here at Bickford, everyone has a purpose… and it shows. #montessori #HigherPath #montessoriengagement #bickfordofgi #seniorliving #assistedliving
