"What a sweet treat to beat the heat! Nothing says summer like classic root beer floats! #SummerVibes #RootBeerFloatLove #CoolDownTreats"

A little late, but this was too good not to share! We had an amazing time at the car show at Bickford on Blondo. Thanks for the invite—it was a blast!

Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing fathers, brothers, uncles, and anyone who’s been a father figure in our lives. Today we celebrated our pops by having popcorn and a movie together. Grateful for the love, and all the laughs. #FathersDay #FamilyLove #GratefulHeart

Happy Flag Day! Today we honor the Stars and Stripes — a symbol of freedom, unity, and the American spirit. Proud to live under the red, white, and blue! #FlagDay #ProudAmerican

"We doughnut know what we’d do without you! Wishing a Happy CNA week and an amazing weekend ahead to our wonderful staff. Thank you for everything you do—you’re truly the best!"

Employee Spotlight: Tinasia Smith Meet Tinasia Smith, one of our amazing CNAs and Med Aides who has been part of the Bickford family for 7 years. She started her journey in healthcare inspired by her mother, Tina—her biggest mentor and motivation. “She always goes the extra mile to make sure every resident is happy,” Tinasia says about her mother. (Tina is also our right hand at the branch...she's simply amazing) For Tinasia, Bickford is more than a job. “I enjoy being an advocate for our residents—it’s like a second home to me.” Her favorite memories are the outings. “I love seeing them doing new things.” Her time with residents has changed her perspective on life. “It’s made me look at life differently.” And when asked what makes Bickford unique, she says: “We are different not because of our care, but our residents. They can't be compared to anywhere else." Outside of work, Tinasia enjoys traveling, adventuring with her dog, and “dilly-dallying with friends.” She’s organized, fun, and loves being part of a close-knit team. “My favorite part about working here is that everyone sticks together. Always.” She also values when people take time to show appreciation for each other. Thank you, Tinasia, for seven years of compassion, commitment, and heart! We’re so grateful for you! Be sure to tell her "Hello" the next time you see her and show her the same love she shows our residents!

"Enjoying this beautiful day in our lovely courtyard. Scatterjoy stopped by… and brought a tiny visitor with a big heart. #GratefulMoments #Scatterjoy"

"What a busy Monday! We kicked things off with exercises led by the always-energetic Miss Kim, followed by a lively game of bingo with our very own Paula as the enthusiastic bingo caller. We wrapped up the day painting beautiful ceramic pieces—creativity was flowing and smiles were everywhere!"

"Getting the birdfeeders filled for the weekend while the guys are planting beautiful flowers and giving the courtyard some love. It’s all coming together!"

Started the day with our Wednesday Walking Club. Took a little break with some relaxing coloring, followed by afternoon devotions with Chaplain Christie. To top it off, got our hair done by the amazing Jennifer —feeling refreshed and grateful!
