Becoming part of a community gives residents a sense of purpose while promoting physical activity and social participation in life enrichment activities. It’s a win-win.

At Bickford Assisted Living and Memory Care of Marshalltown, our nationally recognized approach to help your loved one live happier, healthier, and longer is called the Higher Path senior health model. Here at Bickford, we see something about your situation that other well senior care providers don’t. There are two paths that seniors take as they age the lower path and the higher path. On the Higher Path, our residents receive proactive care services; improving their quality of life so they can live happier, healthier and longer! Today we highlight Ruth and Cedar Valley Hospice. Today Ruth went for leisurely ride on our Howie bus and enjoyed this beautiful fall day! #higherpath

We got our creative juices flowing today!

Today’s rain did not stop Howard and BFM Tatelynn from brightening our spirits with some colorful artwork they created together.
