What does it look like when we play Bingo at Bickford? You'll find our residents chit chatting with each other while they pick through which card they want to play. You'll hear laughter when B4 gets called and, as always, John calls out "Before what?" You'll see smiling faces as family and friends join us- EVERYBODY is encouraged to come play with us! You'll see friendships blossom as our residents help each other locate called numbers on their cards. You'll smell buttery popcorn and sweet kettle corn- everybody gets a bowl before we play! You'll hear Emily call for a "candy break" and pass out chocolate- who doesn't need a bonus candy?!
