Do all Bickford branches provide dementia programming? Yes. Not all Bickford assisted living communities have a dedicated memory care area (Mary B’s Neighborhood), but all Bickford locations offer dementia programming. This includes engaging residents in small, meaningful activities personalized to their interests. Specialty trained caregivers can provide impromptu activities when residents are exhibiting difficult behaviors. Additionally, 1:1 companion care services are available to maximize your loved one’s engagement and wellbeing. Call today for a tour of our Bickford Community. 641-354-5996

Today we had Ron perform his Magic Songs for us. We had a nice crowd today. A few newly moved in residents came to hear his music. Celebrating our resident’s Jo birthday was fun. She blew out her candle and was treated to the hairdressers to get a new style.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone. We had some lovely visitors come spend lunch with us. Here’s the crafts we made. Our resident’s wore green today. We celebrated Wayne’s birthday today. Lori’s birthday was the 15th of March as well. Happy birthday to you both.

What is the Higher Path? The higher path is living, happier, healthier~longer! We believe that our residents should be proactively moving upstream with health events, minimized and often prevented. What is a lower path? The lower path is what most seniors are on. They are waiting for something bad to happen as unexpected health events compound. Here at Bickford, we see something about your situation that other well meaning senior care providers don’t. But we have all accepted as normal aging isn’t the only option. We’ve come to find that there is a higher path available. If you’re at a critical moment in your journey, which path will you choose? #higherpath
