Sunday breakfast at Bickford is the best!

Rolling, Creating & Reaching Higher! A recent cooking class was more than just making something delicious-it was about being involved, trying something new, and having the opportunity to do it yourself. Mary Evelyn proudly joined in, rolling out the dough and putting her hands to work! Moments like these are exactly what the Bickford Higher Path is all about: seeing the person first, encouraging independence, and creating opportunities for residents to continue to grow and participate. The Bickford Higher Path approach brought the team together to help Mary Evelyn rediscover confidence, engagement, and meaningful. Higher Path discussions and "Getting to Know You" tools helped the team identify person-centeted ways to re-engage Mary Evelyn. Gentle encouragement from our Montessori Engagement Coordinator helped Mary Evelyn begin attending daily exercises and restoring her faith in her own abilities. A Montessori based approach uncovered Mary Evelyn's long history of playing and teaching piano, and the yearning to use her hands again in a meaningful way. At Bickford, we believe abilities may change, but the desire to contribute, create, and be part of something meaningful never goes away. #BickfordHigherPath #BickfordSeniorLiving #MontessoriMoments #LivingWithPurpose

Our residents enjoyed a delicious Banana Split Social in celebration of National Banana Split Day! With plenty of ice cream and tasty toppings, there were lots of smiles, laughter, and sweet memories shared along the way. Nothing beats a little ice cream and good company!

Congratulations to our 2026 Black Pearl Award Winners — Chelsie, Melissa, and Jill! Your leadership shines throughout our branch and makes a meaningful difference for our team, our residents, and their happiness every day.

Earlier this month we celebrated a very special birthday with a surprise party for an incredible 103-year-old birthday girl. 103 years of memories, stories, laughter, and love is certainly something worth celebrating! We were so happy to make her day extra special!

A big thank you to Cohen for spending time with our residents! We loved seeing him sitting at the table, coloring and sharing smiles with our residents. It's the simple moments of connection that can mean so much. We appreciate you choosing to give your time and brighten the day!

Happy Monday! It's not just our residents who enjoy the quiet mornings and beautiful surroundings—our furry and feathered neighbors do too! Come experience the peaceful charm of Bickford of Macomb for yourself. We'd love to show you why our little corner of the community feels so much like home

Nothing says comfort food like home-made lasagna! Thank you to Shauna for making our bellies full this weekend from our scratch kitchen :)
