Good morning from Bickford Cottage! Today, a resident and I teamed up to give our bookshelf a little refresh! Together, we used a Montessori-inspired approach by matching the colored squares on the books to the matching colors on the shelves. This simple activity gave Stacey an opportunity to be hands-on, independent, and to take an active role in organizing our shared space. It was a fun reminder that even everyday tasks can become meaningful opportunities for engagement, independence, and a sense of accomplishment for everyone! ???? #BickfordCottage #Montessori #ResidentActivities

We are so grateful for this unexpected act of kindness and generosity. A huge THANK YOU to the kind gentleman who treated our group to lunch! Your thoughtful gesture truly made our day extra special. It’s moments like this that remind us how much a simple act of kindness can mean.
