There’s something powerful about familiar routines. For many people living with dementia, reading the newspaper isn’t just about the news—it’s about connection, memory, and a sense of normalcy. The feel of the pages, the rhythm of the words, even the headlines can spark recognition and conversation. Small moments like these can bring comfort, dignity, and a reminder that every day still holds meaning.

Well, there’s good news and there’s bad news, friends. The bad news is that our Caregiver Support Group meeting tonight has been cancelled. The library will be closing early due to severe weather predicted for this evening. The good news is that we are going to be rescheduling tonight’s meeting to next Thursday at 6 pm at the Marion Library! We can’t wait to see you then, when we will be discussing Caregiver Burnout and Self-Care.

The rain outside won’t keep us from our fitness routine! If we don’t move it, we lose it! Our morning fitness program keeps us moving and grooving! #HigherPath #BickfordofMarion

Easter egg, coloring at Bickford brought out the creativity, the laughter and plenty of springtime cheer. #BickfordOfMarion

Wow! What a beautiful day in the courtyard. Clean up has started in preparation of spring planting. Our branch will transform to all things flowers, birds, and sunshine! #BickfordofMarion

The bowling alley was busy at #BickfordofMarion today. Residents showed off their skills, cheered each other on, and enjoyed an afternoon full of fun and friendly competition.

It’s Opening Day at Bickford of Marion! I told Pauline no throwing baseballs inside so she settled for a little bucket ball instead! The Cubs seem to be taking over today! #BickfordofMarion #BaseballFun

The music was playing, the crowd was singing, and the energy was right. Dave Wertz always knows how to put on a great show. #BickfordofMarion
