We had the most wonderful outing to the Stuhr museum! We enjoyed a lovely lunch at the Melting Pot which is located inside the museum and also took in the festive beauty of the Fantasy of Christmas tree exhibit. Each tree was so unique and creative, showcasing the amazing talent in our community. Our residents had a great time admiring the sparkling decorations and sharing stories about their favorite designs. What a magical way to celebrate the season! Thank you to the Melting Pot for accommodating us and the delicious food!and the Stuhr Museum,who made this experience so special!

Looks like our mischievous elves, Pearl and Andy, have been hard at work... or should we say, hard at *play*! Last night, they took over the laundry room and even set up their own elf-sized clothesline. If you’re missing a sock or a pair of underwear, we can’t make any promises—they might have "borrowed" them! Who knows what shenanigans these two will get into next? Stay tuned for more Elf-tastic adventures! #ElfOnTheShelf #PearlAndAndy #LaundryDayLaughs #HolidayFun

All aboard the Polar Express! Today, we embraced the magic of the season with our cozy pajamas and joyful spirits as we "hopped on the train" for a day filled with wonder. From storytelling to sweet treats, and the sound of that special bell reminding us to always *believe* in the magic of Christmas, it was truly a heartwarming adventure. Here at Bickford of GI, our Christmas spirit shines bright as we create beautiful moments and memories together. What a magical day! #PolarExpressDay #WeBelieve #ChristmasSpirit #AssistedLivingMagic

Look who's back to spread some Christmas cheer at Bickford of Grand Island. Andy said the reindeer ate the map, but Pearl thinks he took at nap. Either way, they are here and all of us are excited to see what they get up to the next few days. We'll keep you posted!

Our winter Festival Ball was a hit! We loved dancing, singing along to live music, and sharing joyful moments together.
