Meet Our New Friend, Jack! There's a friendly face walking the halls at Bickford, and he's already making a big splash- in the best way! Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Jack, a compassionate and energetic student from Midland High School, who has joined us on a special mission: keeping our residents happy, healthy, and hydrated. Jack has taken on the meaningful task of going door to door with a big smile and a cold drink, ensuring that every resident gets the hydration they need- and a cheerful visit to brighten their day. It's amazing what a simple act of kindness ( and a refreshing glass of water! ) can do. Our residents absolutely light up when Jack enters the room. Whether it's a quick chat or shared laugh, he's already become a beloved part of our Bickford family. Thank you, Jack, for the time, your heart, and your wonderful presence. We're so lucky to have you!

At Annabelle's beloved puzzle table, the afternoon sun pours in through the window, casting a warm glow over the tiny pieces waiting to find their place. AnnaBelle and her dear friend Sandy sit side by side, their heads bent in quiet concentration, interrupted only by bursts of laughter and easy conversation. There's a peaceful rhythm to their time together- the rustle of puzzle pieces, the occasional delighted "aha!" when a piece clicks into place, and the simple of being in each other's company. It's not just about solving the puzzle; it's about the shared journey, the little moments, and the comforting sense of progress. Visitors can't help but smile when they stop and see how much the puzzle has come together- how much love and friendship has gone into every section. It's a beautiful reminder that sometimes, the best kind of progress is made slowly, with laughter, kindness, and a good friend by your side.

This week at Bickford of Midland Taste test Tuesday was full of curiosity, laughter, and a little bravery as we sampled something totally new- teriyaki seaweed! At first, a few raised eyebrows and playful "I'm not sure about this..." looks spread around the room. But once the first crunch was heard, the mood started to shift! To everyone's surprise, most agreed it wasn't bad at all - in fact, a few even liked it! We decided it's officially " not the worst thing we've ever had."
