Some moments feel like Christmas, and today was one of them. Our residents took our annual visit to Santa‘s House. Bundled up, full of excitement and ready for a holiday magic, the laughter started early when Skip sat down in Santa’s chair and, for a brief and very convincing moment, was mistaken for the real deal. Let’s just say, he wore it well :-)
Santa was running a bit behind—sleigh troubles, and as our bus was prepared to leave, we assumed the visit would end. But, Christmas had other plans. Just as we were pulling away, Santa came running, waving and smiling, and jumped right onto our very own HOWIE! He made his way through, talking with each resident, sharing warmth, jokes, and cheer. Then, as only Santa can do, he let us in a joyful sing-along that filled the bus with music laughter, and a few happy tears.
It was a reminder that we all needed: Santa is magic at any age – – and at Bickford, we believe in keeping that magic alive.

At Bickford of Midland, Grandma's Kitchen whipped up an old-time favorite-no-bake cookies! One of our BFF's wasn't feeling well, and since these are her absolute favorite, we all pitched in to give a sweet pick- me- up and brighten her day. The best part, as we all know?
