Higher Path Update: Increasing Hansa PCP Assignments to Strengthen Resident Health
As part of our Higher Path initiative, one of the most powerful ways we can support resident health is by ensuring individuals are aligned with a consistent, engaged Primary Care Provider (PCP). At Bickford, our preferred PCP partner is Hansa Medical Group, our in‑house physician team who rounds directly in our branches and works hand‑in‑hand with our Health & Wellness staff.
Over the past month, we’ve made meaningful progress—increasing 30.8% in residents receiving care from our in‑house PCP team.
Why This Increase Matters
Assigning residents to Hansa as their primary care provider significantly enhances our ability to deliver proactive, coordinated, and relationship‑based care.
1. Immediate, On‑Site Access to Providers
Hansa physicians round in our communities regularly.
More residents assigned to Hansa means:
Faster response time to concerns
More face‑to‑face interactions
Fewer unnecessary ER transfers
2. Seamless Communication With Our Health & Wellness Team
Unlike outside PCPs, Hansa works directly with our nurses and leadership.
This results in:
Shared understanding of resident history
Real‑time collaboration
Strong follow‑through on care plans
3. Earlier Detection and Intervention
Because Hansa is integrated within our community:
Subtle changes are noticed sooner
Chronic conditions are tracked more closely
Preventive care becomes more consistent
These benefits directly support fall reduction, fewer hospitalizations, and improved day‑to‑day well‑being.
4. Better Continuity and Stability for Residents
For many older adults, continuity is the key to safety.
When residents move to Hansa:
They gain a PCP who knows their environment
Families gain a provider who is easily reachable
Our team gains a partner fully aligned with our care model.
Please reach out to Kelly if you are interested in getting your loved one signed up with Hansa or if you would like to meet Eghe the NP with Hansa before signing up.

A little fun, laughter, and faith filled our day! Our BFFs enjoyed a round of Finish the Phrase, sharing some great laughs and memories together. We followed it up with Happy Hour, a time to relax, visit, and enjoy each other’s company. We ended the afternoon with Bible Study in the library area, spending quiet time in reflection, encouragement, and God’s word. Moments of joy, fellowship, and faith make our community feel like family. #bickfordseniorliving #JoyfulMoments

A wonderful day of reminiscing and discovery! Our group enjoyed strolling through the aisles at the Edinburgh Antique Mall, where every corner held something familiar. From vintage kitchen tools to classic décor, so many items sparked memories and stories as we walked through the aisles together. It’s amazing how a simple object can take you back in time. After our trip down memory lane, we wrapped up the outing with a delicious lunch at Montana Mike’s Steakhouse. Great food, great conversation, and even better company made for a beautiful day out! Once we came back we did a couple rounds of finish the phrase at the bistro!

Our Walking Club enjoyed getting out and scoping around the building today, taking in the fresh air and a few good laughs along the way. Meanwhile, our Cooking Club reminded us that inspiration can come from the simplest moments. With teamwork, smiles, and a little creativity in the kitchen, we created more than just something tasty we created memories together.

Rainy days call for cozy community moments here at Bickford of Greenwood Assisted Living and Montessori Memory Care! Today was the perfect day to stay warm inside with Bingo & Popcorn Social fun, smell of fresh popcorn made it a great afternoon together. We also enjoyed Arni’s Banquet served in our puzzle area turning a cold, rainy day into something warm and special. Good food, friendly competition, and sweet connections make even the grayest days brighter. Lunch service with a little Irish flair today We had some fun goofing off with our St. Patrick’s hat during lunch because why not add a little laughter to the day? Smiles were shared, photos were taken, and the festive spirit was definitely in the air! Sometimes it’s the simple, silly moments that make the biggest memories. #bickfordseniorliving #JoyfulMoments

Fancy nails all around the community today From bright colors to soft classics, our ladies enjoyed choosing their favorite shades and adding a little sparkle to their day. There’s something so special about sitting together, chatting, laughing, and feeling pampered. Giving opportunity to do each other's or take nail polish off for new. It’s more than just polish it’s confidence, connection, and those feel-good moments that make our community shine
