You might see a new face when you stop by Bickford! This is Delilah. She is currently being fostered by our Happiness Coordinator, Emily. She comes to Bickford during the day and goes home with Emily at night and on weekends. This sweet girl loves to be pet, make sure to give her a scratch if you see her!

Here are a couple more photos from Garden Club this morning!

Our sunroom was the perfect setting for garden club this morning!

Every morning after breakfast, we start our day with an exercise class. These range from walking (we walk both inside the facility and also outside, weather-permitting), to range of motion, to strength training. A body in motion stays in motion! Bickford had a purrfect visitor today! Emily, our Happiness Coordinator, brought in one of her foster cats. Her name is Delilah and she loved getting pets and scratches from everybody.

Our Thursday was filled with activity! We started the day off with exercise and a neighborhood walk. Then we had one of our favorite performers visit- Dave and his sweet pup. Residents were singing along the entire performance. Our halls were filled with music! In the afternoon, we planted our flower boxes for Garden Club. We chose a whole rainbow of flowers. While we were planting, residents shared stories of their own gardens at home, gardening with loved ones, and what they grew in their gardens.

We love celebrating love from our Nurse Trish! She is absolutely incredible!!! #higherpath
