Yesterday at Bickford Peoria we tried beating the heat by staying indoors getting crafty. We made these adorable button watermelon signs!

Yesterday, we went on the Adventure Trek at Wildlife Prairie Park. Saw the bison, elk, wolves and coyotes! One of our favorite moments was watching a mama elk take her baby for a swim! Our tour guide, Darcy was super knowledgeable and made the trek lots of fun. We definitely recommend going on the adventure!

Join us in celebrating Bickford Peoria's CNA's next week!

We had fun being creative this week at Bickford Peoria! On Monday, we pour painted flower vases and today we arranged fresh flowers in them. Aren't they so cool?! They bring a unique pop of color to every table!

Welcome to Wellness Wednesday!!!! We have just set up our Hydration Station here at Bickford of Peoria Cottage! We are so excited to have a place where residents, BFM's, families and visitors can stop and grab a drink especially since it is getting warmer out! The benefits of water are endless. Such things like reducing swelling, brightening skin, skin elasticity, maintaining a good blood pressure. Drinking water can also assist in maintaining cognition! #BickfordofPeoria #Hydration #WellnessWednesday #8watersadaykeepsthedoctoraway
