We don’t stop playing because we grow old… we grow old because we stop playing.

Manicure Day at Bickford!

We found the popcorn stash! Don’t tell Shannon! Magazines, popcorn, and an ice cold Pepsi!

A little exercise to get our day started.

Hooray for Carol! She has been doing such a wonderful job working with Hannah with Fox Rehab, and recently graduated! She is always willing to try new exercises and build her skills and stability. Working with Hannah has helped give Carol something positive to focus on after losing her beloved dog, Tatum. Great work, Carol! #higherpathcelebration #bickfordseniorliving #successstory #assistedliving #whateverittakes

Education is so important for family and friends when they have a loved one who has been diagnosed with dementia. At Bickford, we specialize in Memory Care, and we are constantly looking for opportunities to share knowledge with others. We have included a link to an article covering a lot of questions people have when their loved ones are first diagnosed with dementia. Please reach out to Megan at (319)373-7000 if you have additional questions or if you would like to come tour. https://www.alzheimers.gov/life-with-dementia/tips-caregivers

Jim enjoys helping our Directing Family Group with tasks, and finds purpose in these activities. Jim keeps Maintenance Coordinator Mike in line and on task, breaks down boxes to keep clutter to a minimum, and is always willing to taste test cookies for our Bread Basket. Thanks for all your help in making our home the best it can be, Jim! #higherpathcelebration #whateverittakes #bickfordseniorliving #assistedliving

It’s Assisted Living Week! Today we are stepping out of our comfort zone and trying that new hair style we always wanted to but didn’t have the courage to do! Here’s a little sneak peek of what’s to come!

Cloudy days are meant for baking. We’re excited to try our lemon bars!
