At Higher Path, we love sharing stories of seniors who thrive, live with purpose, and embrace every chapter of life. This week, the spotlight is on Marilyn, a cherished resident at Bickford Senior Living of Marshalltown, Iowa. Marilyn recently blew out 98 candles surrounded by friends, family, and lots of laughter.

Bickford of Marshalltown has activities almost all day long for the Residents, HOWEVER, when the morning activity is music, the Residents are ALL EARS!! Our much anticipated musician today was Birdie Young and boy does she know how to classic rock & roll!! I think the photos will 100% speak for themselves!

When it's Bible Study with Cindy, there's always a large gathering here at Bickford! Singing songs and talking about the Bible is just what Cindy does! Faith is super important to our Resodents and she just grabs the Residents attention!! And her message is ALWAYS CLEAR......AMEN!!!!

Chair exercises are a staple around here! With the Fowler position, we stretch our arms and legs, which most definitely helps us with our day! After stretching comes.......Walking Club! We love Walking Club here at Bickford because it keeps us ALL (staff too) healthy and fit. But then you also have kindness. When Residents are kind and help other Residents, it just warms our hearts! She calmed her down with her kind words and gentle touch. Higher Path win, here we come!

What a Monday!!! Today at Bickford of Marshalltown was just the most Mondayest Monday EVER!!!! Super busy! Super fun! Super sweet! BINGO was a blast!

What happened next, is self explanatory!! #marshalltown #bickfordofmarshalltown #bingo #kitchenstaff #kindness #montessori

Finding Joy Together on The Higher Path At Bickford Senior Living, we believe true happiness in assisted living starts with connection. Today, we are celebrating the beautiful power of friendship, featuring two of our favorites: Millie and Bev. If you visit our community, you will usually find Millie happily lost in her world of fabric, patterns, and beautiful quilts. She spends most of her days stitching together masterpieces. But even the most dedicated quilter needs a break. Whenever it is time to step away from the sewing machine, Millie knows exactly where to go. She teams up with her wonderful friend, Bev, for a lively game of Bingo. Whether they are shouting "Bingo" or just sharing laughs over the game cards, their bond reminds us all that friendship is the ultimate key ingredient to a happy, fulfilling life. Thank you, Millie and Bev, for filling our community with so much warmth and joy. Join us in the comments below by tagging a friend who makes your world a little brighter. #BickfordSeniorLiving #TheHigherPath #SeniorFriendships #QuiltingLife #BingoBuddies #AssistedLivingJoy #CelebrateFriendship
