When you have an office, full of STUFF, you make an activity out of all of that stuff! Kinda like whatever is in your cupboards, is going in the oven as a casserole!! Community means people, and when you have people that want to gather together and paint little birdhouses and wooden rabbits, that's a recipe for friendship and fun!! It will always be in the smile on their faces!! Whatever it takes. #marshalltown #bickfordofmarshalltown #friendshipandfun #community #montessori

Here at Bickford, if a Resident asks you to do something, you just do it. All we had to do was move the chair, then get to work!!! She liked it so much, that we had to do it again the next day!! Her hair was so wavy and beautiful! Whatever it takes. #whateverittakes #marshalltown #bickfordofmarshalltown #hairbraiding #montessori

At Bickford Senior Living, our community shines brightest because of the incredible individuals who call it home. Today, we want to spotlight a resident who truly brings our hallways to life: the wonderful Linda Tempel. If you have spent any time in our community, you already know Linda. She is quite literally the life of the party! Blessed with an infectious enthusiasm, Linda loves being in the know and always has her finger on the pulse of what is happening around campus. Her vibrant energy is matched only by her fierce independence, a quality we admire deeply. Recently, Linda experienced a profound loss with the passing of her beloved soulmate. Navigating such a tender, difficult chapter is never easy, but true to form, Linda’s resilient spirit has kept her moving forward. During this rough patch, our entire Bickford family has rallied around Linda with an outpouring of love and support. It has been a privilege to walk alongside her, offering comfort when needed and reminding her that she is never alone. There is nothing quite like the moment Linda’s beautiful smile lights up the room. Seeing that familiar joy return to her face warms all our hearts and reminds us of the power of community. Thank you, Linda, for sharing your bright light, your independent spirit, and your wonderful heart with all of us! #BickfordSenior Living #HigherPath #CommunitySpotlight #BickfordFamily #SeniorLivingCommunity #ResidentSpotlight #PowerOfCommunity #GraciousLiving #VibrantSeniors

Bocce Ball, I Love Lucy (the grape stomping episode) Italian Soda & Biscotti, tasty Italian lunch and then some good ole fashioned GRAPE STOMPING!!!! It was so hot out, but that didn't matter.

Baking Day with Deb is always a hit with the Residents. Today we made the birthday cake for Denise, one of our BFMs. The Residents took turns cracking the eggs, pouring the milk and the sugar. But what they really wanted to do, is EAT THE INGREDIENTS!!! What a wonderful way to socialize!!! #marshalltown #bickfordofmarshalltown #bakingwithdeb #cake #montessori

Happy happy Monday!!! You know what they say about Mondays, right??? Well, we proved them all wrong!! What a wonderfully phenomenal day! Residents were all in great moods and staff too!! Today was Men's Club, Birdhouse day. They are small decorative birdhouses, that go together in a few easy steps (yea, ok, lol) and then we paint them! It was so much fun to sit with this Resident today, and just shoot the breeze! He's an artist/teacher by trade, so of course we had extra fun, especially me with my stick figures!!! #marshalltown #bickfordofmarshalltown #mensclub #activities #montessori
