Mug Shot Alert! It’s National Coffee Day and our residents were caught red-handed… with their favorite mugs! From classic black coffee to cappuccinos, these coffee lovers are guilty of loving every sip. We had so much fun brewing up laughter and snapping some “mug shots” today,because life’s too short for decaf! Tell us in the comments: how do YOU take your coffee: cream, sugar, or straight-up strong? #NationalCoffeeDay #MugLife #EspressoYourself #AssistedLiving #seniorliving #bickfordofgi

From the Bottom of Our Hearts – Thank You! What an incredible evening yesterday! We are overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone who came out to support our Flippin’ for Memories Purple Pancake Fundraiser. We truly felt the love in the room, and we are beyond excited to share that we not only met our goal, we surpassed it! We couldn’t have done this without our amazing friends, families, and community standing alongside us. Your generosity, laughter, and encouragement mean so much as we continue this journey together. This cause is near and dear to our hearts, and we look forward with hope to the future and the day we can celebrate an end to Alzheimer’s. Thank you again for making this such a meaningful and successful event. Together, we are making a difference! #ThankYou #FlippinForMemories #WalkToEndAlzheimers #EndALZ #bickfordofgi #AssistedLiving #seniorliving

When caregivers stay, they become part of residents’ extended families. They celebrate birthdays, remember favorite meals, and offer comfort during difficult times. This kind of continuity fosters emotional well-being and a sense of belonging that’s hard to replicate. #higherpath #bickfordofgi #caregivers

What an Ageless Adventure week it was! We had so many wonderful moments last week that we didn’t get to share them all… here are a few more smiles and adventures, from our residents and BFMs “floating away” in a hot air balloon, to the sweet surprises and goodies brought in by our amazing community . We are beyond thankful for our dedicated BFM’s who pour their hearts into making every day special, and for our friends in the community who helped make this week even more memorable. It takes a village to create happiness, and we are so blessed by ours. Here’s to the many adventures still to come big and small, together. #AgelessAdventure #NationalAssistedLivingWeek #GratefulHearts #BickfordFamily #CommunityLove #MakingMemories #bickfordofgi #assistedliving #seniorliving #NALW

“There’s no place like home…” and there’s no place like celebrating Wizard of Oz Day with our wonderful residents! We stretched with some Over the Rainbow exercises, played a game of Follow the Yellow Brick Road, and finished our adventure by watching the timeless classic The Wizard of Oz, right on time for its 87th anniversary, yesterday! “Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore…” but we were certainly in the best place of all, together.

What an amazing day! Our Toss for a Cause Cornhole Tournament was a huge success, all thanks to YOU!
