At Bickford of Portage, we love celebrating the unique gifts and passions our residents bring to our community. This week, resident Gayle shared one of her special talents — and it turned into a truly heartwarming creative experience for everyone. Gayle, along with her daughter Carolyn, led a hands-on workshop teaching residents how to make beautiful Sculpey pens. With colorful clay, patient guidance, and plenty of encouragement, Gayle showed step-by-step how to shape, layer, and design each pen into a one-of-a-kind piece of art. We’re so grateful to Gayle and Carolyn for inspiring us with their creativity and for helping our residents discover the fun of making Sculpey pens. We can’t wait to see what artistic adventure comes next! #BickfordOfPortage #BickfordSeniorLiving

At Bickford of Portage, we love trying new trends — especially the tasty ones! This week, our residents joined in on a fun (and delicious) activity as they taste-tested the viral candied cranberries that have been taking the internet by storm. And the verdict was unanimous… they were a hit! Residents enjoyed the perfect balance of sweet crunch and tart cranberry zing. Laughter filled the room as everyone compared reactions, shared holiday memories, and went back for “just one more.” It was a simple treat that sparked big smiles and even bigger conversations. Moments like these are part of what makes life at Bickford so special — bringing residents together, trying new things, and creating joyful experiences that brighten the day. Stay tuned for more fun seasonal activities and taste-tests… you never know what trend we’ll try next!

At Bickford of Portage, we believe health is a journey — not a destination. Every day, our mission is to walk alongside residents as they navigate that journey with confidence, comfort, and compassion. That’s why we are honored to support residents like Jackie, who is actively walking the Higher Path Health Model with strength, grace, and the steady encouragement of our care team — in partnership with our trusted therapy provider, Fox Therapy. Right now, Jackie is focusing on improving her shoulder strength, an important part of maintaining mobility, comfort, and independence in daily activities. With the help of Fox Therapy and our dedicated care team, she’s working through tailored exercises and supportive routines designed specifically for her goals. Her determination inspires everyone around her, and her progress is a wonderful reflection of what can happen when clinical excellence meets personalized care. #BickfordOfPortage #BickfordSeniorLiving #HigherPath
