If you looked at the weather report this week, you might have wondered why anyone would choose to spend time outside. Between the soaring temperatures and the less than ideal, air quality, Midland hasn’t been showing off. It’s best summer weather. But something funny happened. We barely noticed. That’s because we’re too busy, enjoying good company, sharing, laughs, and cooling off with root beer floats. The older we get, we realize that happiness isn’t always found in perfect weather or grand adventures. Often, it’s found in small moments with people who care about us, a shared dessert, a familiar face, and a reason to gather together.

What a gas!! Bickford was cruisin’ in style with our Classic Car Show. With beautiful sunshine overhead, we enjoyed an afternoon filled with shiny chrome, cool rides and plenty of great memories. Even our Bickford neighbors driving by couldn’t resist the fun and joined in! The best part? Our own staff and residents had cars on display making the day extra special. Classic cars, sun, friends and a little 50’s nostalgia—now that’s what we call a rockin’ good time! #bickfordofmidland

National raspberry day was a hit at Bickford of Midland. And even better with some vanilla ice cream. We all enjoyed the sweetness that summer brings to Michigan. #NationalRaspberryDay #Bickford of Midland

This week, we were witness to a very special event. Consumers Energy presented Tarek with a special award. Tarek pulled Bickford of Midland resident Ray out of a burning house. Without this true act of bravery, Ray wouldn’t be with us today. This was the first time that the two got to officially meet and Ray’s family got to say thank you for saving his life. I don’t think there was a dry eye to be found. What a special moment for all of us to get to share in. It reminds us that life is precious and should be celebrated. #bickfordofmidland #consumersenergy #everydayhero

Our Montessori Engagement Coordinator, Kristin made a detour through Tennessee to see a long time Midland resident Anna Belle. She was shocked to see her friend walk through the door. Kristin brought hugs and gossip from the branch. Anna Belle sent back hugs and warm wishes. Proof positive that at Bickford of Midland, friendships are forever.

Bickford of Midland is proving you're never too old to have a little fun! Temporary tattoos brought out plenty of smiles, laughs, and a little extra personality. The best part? They don't hurt, and they wash off! Sometimes it's the simplest activities that create the biggest smiles. #LifeAtBickford #TemporaryTattoos #BickfordOfMidland #SeniorLiving

Bickford of Midland celebrated National Bombpop Day the best way possible - with a refreshing frozen treat on a beautiful summer day. It was fun discovering that many of our residents had never heard of a Bombpop before, making the experience even more memorable. Whether it brought back childhood memories or introduced something new, everyone enjoyed cooling off and sharing smiles together. #BickfordOfMidland #NationalBombpopDay #LifeAtBickford
