There is no higher calling,
no greater purpose than that of a caregiver.
Somehow, we’ve come to believe that caregiving
is just for some of us and not all of us.
Yet at our core, we are all made to love, to connect,
to extend ourselves in service of others.
The question is … do we have the will to love, to do what it takes,
to risk ourselves in caring, even when the burden is great?
In times of happiness, in times of sadness – we are that caregiver.

Our Memory Care made Mary B muffins! Fun fact: our amazing resident Agnes was a French Baker…so you know the muffins were magnificent! Our amazing Bickford of Gurnee caregivers provide love and support to ensure all off our residents participate in meaningful activities! We ensure the best quality of life at any stage of Dementia or Alzheimer’s ….because that is what they deserve!
