Pets are family at Bickford Oswego Assisted Living and Montessori Memory Care! We believe in surrounding ourselves with the joy of animals, like Bandit! He comes in weekly to reduce anxiety and stress, and he is very good at his job! Thank you Shirley for bringing Bandit to our community!

This week, our Health & Wellness Directors and Care Coordinators are leading a major initiative as we transition our Medication Administration Record (MAR) into August Health. By bringing medication administration into the same platform as our residents' electronic health record (EHR), we are creating one source of truth for resident care. This integration improves efficiency, strengthens communication, reduces duplicate documentation, and supports medication safety. While this is a significant undertaking, the long-term benefits are substantial—allowing our teams to spend less time navigating multiple systems and more time focused on providing exceptional care to our residents. #HigherPath #AugustHealth #ClinicalExcellence #MedicationSafety #SeniorLiving #ResidentCare #Teamwork #ContinuousImprovement

Our caregiver at Oswego, Ricardo, answered the care predict call from one of our residents who needed to go to the nurses station for her medications. Thanks to care predict, she was transported in time for her meds. #TheHigherPath #SeniorLiving #ResidentCare #HealthAndWellness #Bickford

Taking the Higher Path in Resident Care While many senior living communities conduct comprehensive resident assessments annually, our Health & Wellness Directors complete them every 180 days. Why? Because a lot can change in six months. More frequent assessments allow us to identify health changes sooner, adjust care plans proactively, reduce potential risks, and keep families informed every step of the way. At Bickford, we believe exceptional care means going beyond compliance and focusing on what is best for each resident. Kim, one of or BFMs mother in law resides at Bickford. Kim and her family are very involved in her mother in laws care and collaborate with us helping to meet her Mother n law's psycho social needs. #TheHigherPath #SeniorLiving #ResidentCare #HealthAndWellness #Bickford
