This is what a lifetime of love and laughter looks like. These two sweethearts enjoyed a sweet treat together- strawberry shortcakes. At Bickford, we cherish the individual moments that make up your life. We have five to six activities per day, all aimed at mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Serving strawberry shortcakes gave all of our residents a smile today.

One of our favorite outings every month is dining club. Thank you to Pizza Ranch for hosting us!

An afternoon spent with lifelong friends - sharing laughter, stories and memories woven through the years. Time stands still in the warmth of those who’ve known you all along.

We had a busy day at Bickford! We started off with walking club. It was the first time we got outside for a walk this week with all of this crazy weather, and we needed the fresh air and sunshine! Over the last few weeks, residents have been going through their items and donating things they no longer wanted. With those items, we put together a "garage sale" where the residents could shop through the donated items, everything being free of course. There were some real goodies! We also visited the ARL or Marshalltown and got to meet the dogs Ryder, Honey, and Rick. We also got to meet Vivian the kitten.

Purpose-the reason for which something is done, created, or exists. At Bickford Assisted Living of Marshalltown, we hold our residents’ sense of purpose close to our hearts. Sometimes, it’s the smallest, most meaningful tasks that bring that feeling of value and fulfillment-just like it did for Joe this afternoon.
