Always celebrating success! We think our new Baldridge Quality Bronze award looks great displayed right at the front entrance. We will be working on Silver status next year :). Way to go Bickford of Macomb!

Today we welcomed Amanda Powell from Therapy for Positive Aging to spend time with our team and talk about something that matters so much- caregiver burnout and compassion fatigue. We believe taking care of our caregivers is just as important as taking care of our residents. Because happy, supported caregivers help create happy, healthy residents. We’re also lucky to have Amanda visit with our residents right here at the branch, making it easier to access therapy and support when it’s needed. At Bickford, we believe caring for others starts with caring for the people who care :)

A Sweet Treat & A Big Thank You! We are so grateful to The Care Team Hospice for coming to celebrate National Assisted Living Week with us by making Dirty Sodas for our residents! There were plenty of smiles, fun combinations, and happy residents as everyone enjoyed creating their own special drink. Thank you Teri for spending time with our residents and making National Assisted Living Week extra special! #NALW

At Bickford of Macomb, we are so fortunate to have so many local providers! Thank you to WIHHC- Annette and Mandy who can also see our residents here in the branch. Just another way our residents here are on the #higherpath!

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

A huge thank you to Greg from Home Instead for a magical afternoon at Bickford! He had our residents laughing, smiling and completely WOWED with an incredible magic show. He drew a fantastic crowd, and our residents are still talking about it! We’re so grateful for community partners like Home Instead who bring fun, connection and memorable moments to our residents. And fun fact—Greg was formerly a Las Vegas entertainer! If you’re looking for in-home senior care in the Macomb area, Home Instead is available to help!

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!
