Thanks Chef Jenn for firing up the grill! Today turned out perfect thanks to your dedication to our family here at Bickford! You're loved !!

Beautiful day for a holiday BBQ! Thankful for our family and friends!

There’s something truly special about gathering outdoors with family and friends to celebrate a holiday with the timeless charm of a traditional BBQ. Our BBQ isn’t just about what’s on the grill—it’s about who’s around it. The sound of kids playing in the yard, the smell of smoke wafting through the air, and the clink of cold drinks all come together to create memories that last far beyond the last bite. Family Lunch is tomorrow at noon!!

At Bickford of Okemos, seniors enjoy far more than just comfortable living—they thrive through engaging, hands-on activities like cookie‑making in the community’s warm, kitchen‑focused atmosphere. Mixing, rolling, and baking cookies taps into cherished memories and sensory experiences, while the “Bread Basket” scratch‑kitchen environment encourages creativity and independence in the heart of assisted living. This simple treat-making activity also fosters social connection as residents share baking tips, laugh over missteps, and bond over fresh-baked treats. The result? Enhanced wellbeing, improved mood, and a shared sense of accomplishment—key ingredients of Bickford’s HigherPath model for thriving, purposeful living . #Bickfordofokemos # higherpath
