Free Dementia Education Opportunity at Marion Public Library! Join us on October 13th at 5:00 PM at the Marion Public Library for an informative and practical dementia education opportunity. This session will place a special focus on effective communication with people living with dementia—including strategies for reducing frustration, building connection, and communicating with greater patience, understanding, and confidence. Whether you’re a family member, caregiver, friend, volunteer, or simply someone who wants to better understand dementia, you’re welcome to attend. Come learn practical communication approaches that can make everyday interactions more meaningful for both you and the person living with dementia. Everyone is welcome!

What a treat to be able to provide a free and enjoyable craft activity for seniors in the Marion area! Thanks to the Marion public library for cohosting the senior craft social the first Tuesday of every month! Sign up for next month’s craft social through the Marion library! This month we made autumn vases and ribbon flowers to go in them! #BickfordOfMarion #CommunityOutreach #SeniorCraftSocial #ItsFallYall

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Mary B’s gals had a great afternoon chat on the patio. We are soaking up this beautiful weather. #BickfordOfMarion

As much as we don’t want to think about things changing with ourselves or our loved ones as we age, worrying about those changes is often worse than addressing them and gathering information. Planning ahead can give you some peace of mind, and allow you to choose your path before an emergency takes that choice out of your hands. Call Megan at (319)373-7000 to schedule a tour. We would love to show you what makes Bickford of Marion so special. #BickfordOfMarion #TourToday #PlanningAhead

Music can bring comfort, spark memories, encourage connection, and create moments of joy. A familiar song can bring a smile, inspire a song-along, or remind someone of a special time in their life. Thanks to Janet Lieb for sharing the gift of music with us this morning! #BickfordOfMarion #MusicalMemories
