Today at Bickford of Rocky River Assisted Living and Memory Care, some of our ladies in memory care decided they wanted to help fold laundry. They let their caregiver know and immediately got to work. We love seeing our residents eager to lend a hand—every contribution, no matter how small, brings so much joy to our community. #BickfordofRockyRiver #SeniorLiving #BickfordLiving #Companionship #MontessoriLiving

Today at Bickford of Rocky River, we had a great time playing bingo — a favorite for so many of our residents. We welcomed several new faces, and it was wonderful to see everyone enjoying the game and helping one another when a number was missed. Some residents used slide‑style bingo cards, making the game accessible and easy for everyone to participate. Residents even chose the patterns we played today, including L, X, and postage stamp. We’re already looking forward to next week’s game. #BickfordRockyRiver #AssistedLiving #Activities #MomentsThatMatter #Engagement

Today at Bickford of Rocky River Assisted Living, we enjoyed a wonderful lunch outing to Sorrento Pizzeria and Restaurant. The Italian food definitely hit the spot for everyone. Most of us went straight for the pasta, while our coordinator opted for pizza—and even got a little help from one of our ladies to show off a perfect cheese pull. It gave us all a good laugh. On the ride back home, we watched the snow flurries drift around us, and it seemed like everyone had the same idea once we got on the bus: time for a cozy afternoon nap. Already looking forward to our next adventure together. #BickfordofRockyRiver #SeniorLiving #BickfordLiving #Companionship #LoveandCare #AssistedLiving

We had our own countdown at 2 o’clock, enjoyed apple cider and red grape cider, played a few games, and spent time laughing and chatting as we got ready to welcome the new year. This year brought big changes for many of us. It was my first New Year’s at Bickford, and we’re grateful to have so many wonderful new residents joining our community. New neighbors mean new friendships, and we’re excited to continue building this warm, supportive home together. We can’t wait for the start of the new year tomorrow.
