Bickford of Rocky River had a wonderful visit today from our friends at the Friendship APL. They brought along three adorable furry guests—Boris, Cupcake, and Pearl—and our residents couldn’t have been happier to meet them. There were plenty of smiles, lots of tail wags, and maybe even a few treats and kisses exchanged. More than a few residents joked about wanting to keep all three pups. We can’t wait to welcome our four‑legged friends back again soon! #BickfordRockyRiver #AssistedLiving #MemoryCare #FurryFriends

We had a great day at Bickford of Rocky River! One of our new residents, who was a bit anxious about her move and hesitant to join activities, surprised herself by jumping in during bingo. She helped me tape cards and even took the lead on the first bingo call while I did the second. The highlight of the afternoon came when a staff member brought in her new puppy, and everything stopped so the ladies could shower that sweet boy with love.. #BickfordRockyRiver #Bingo #SeniorMoment #Montessoriinspirelifestyle #AssistedLiving

Saturdays bring out the best kind of fun at Bickford of Rocky River. Our ladies spent the day playing games and creating heart sun catchers to celebrate the upcoming Valentine’s Day. During craft time, Gayle led a wonderful conversation circle using her favorite conversation cards. The group shared memories about the shoes they loved, the meals they enjoyed, and the drinks they still adore. The laughter, storytelling, and sense of togetherness made it a truly relaxing and heartwarming day. #BickfordRockyRiver #Montessori #SeniorCare #AssistedLiving #MemoryCare

At Bickford of Rocky River, we’re getting into the Olympic spirit! With the Winter Olympics starting tomorrow, we decided to host our own weekly Olympic Games. Yesterday we kicked things off by creating a bracket of events, and everyone guessed which country they thought would win each sport. Today we played our own version of curling, which brought plenty of laughter to both our assisted‑living community and our Mary B’s Neighborhood. Residents are already asking what next week’s event will be—but that part’s staying a surprise! #BickfordRockyRiver #AssistedLiving #MemoryCare #FunMoments

Today at Bickford of Rocky River, we took our taste buds on a field trip to Olive Garden—and it was a hit. Bowls of pasta, endless soup, and crisp salads were disappearing faster than breadsticks on the table. The best part? We even convinced two of our “homebodies” to join the adventure. Good food, big smiles, and a whole lot of laughter made it a pretty perfect outing. #BickfordRockyRiver #AssistedLiving #Outing #Fun #MomentsthatMatter

The cold didn’t stop us at Bickford of Rocky River from enjoying a little shopping fun. Today we made our way to Target and had a great time browsing anything and everything that caught our eye. Our ladies wasted no time taking off—leaving our coordinator in the dust—while our gentleman knew exactly what he wanted and grabbed his snack right away. Another successful outing for the books! #BickfordRockyRiver #Shopping #Happiness

We are so proud to share that one of our residents has been busy sewing adorable bibs for the children and babies at St. Jude. Her talent, generosity, and love for giving back have filled our building with joy. Each bib is stitched with care and compassion, and we couldn’t be more inspired by her dedication to helping little ones in need. It’s moments like these that remind us how powerful a single act of kindness can be.

We had a wonderful afternoon at Bickford Rocky River. Our day began with beautiful singing from our volunteer, Lexie, whose voice filled the room and lifted everyone’s spirits. We wrapped things up with a cheerful happy hour hosted by Terry, giving us the perfect chance to relax and enjoy time with our neighbors. It was the ideal combination of great music and great company. #BickfordRockyRiver #Momentsthatmatter #Montesssori

At Bickford of Rocky River, I wanted to share two small but meaningful moments from the past couple of days. The first was during bingo, when one of our gentlemen quietly stepped in to help one of our ladies who was having a little trouble keeping up. It was such a simple act of kindness, but it said so much about the way our residents look out for one another. The second moment happened at breakfast. One of our newer ladies came down a bit late, and without being asked, Terry chose to sit with her so she wouldn’t have to eat alone. The two of them spent the meal chatting and getting to know each other, and it was lovely to see a new connection forming. These are the moments that make our community feel like family. #BickfordRockyRiver #SeniorLiving #SeniorCompanionship #FamilyandCare

Today at Bickford of Rocky River, we had the pleasure of welcoming our friends from the Friendship APL, who brought along two wonderful dogs, Apache and Tigerlily. These sweet pups filled our community with joy and sparked so many smiles. Their visit had everyone reminiscing and sharing stories about the beloved dogs they once owned. #BickfordRockyRiver #Reminiscing #LovingMoments
